Pounce and Gestalt Question [LSJ]

[pallando]

is pounce a hand strike?

does the reacting vampire have to pay one blood when playing gestalt? for me
the phrase "including this vampire" is not totally clear. can i let 1, 2, or
3 other bloodbrothers pay 1 blood for intercept, while the blood brother
actually playing the card doens'nt pay?

regards

pallando

------------------------
Pounce
Combat, Flight

Requires a ready minion with flight

Strike: strength +2 damage, and the opposing minion cannot strike for the
remainder of the round (this doesn't affect the current strike resolution).
If this strike is dodged, this striking minion takes 1 damage during strike
resolution and the opposing minion gets an optional press.
-----------------------
Gestalt
Reaction, Sanguinus

Choose X ready Blood Brothers you control who belong to the same circle as
this reacting vampire (including this vampire). Each chosen vampire must
burn a blood, or this card has no effect.

+X intercept

+X intercept, and this vampire may play cards as if he or she possessed all
of the chosen Blood Brother's disciplines for the remainder of the action

Yes.

"including this vampire" should make it clear.
You choose some vampires (including this one).
The chosen vampires burn a blood each.

Since the reacting vampire is explicitly included in the list of chosen
vampires, he must burn a blood.

I had read the "(including this vampire)" text as being a
reminder that you can choose the reacting/modifying (for
Walk of Caine) vampire if you want to.

Apparently that's wrong. It would have been more clear to
me if written to have 1 blood cost and "Choose X-1 ready
Blood Brothers you control, other than this [reacting/acting]
vampire ... +X [intercept/bleed]."

ah well...
