[LSJ] Rev. Blackwood Question
Markus Schlein
just would like to know how the special of Rev. Blackwood works.
Does he do +1 damage with every strike or only when inflicts damage?
What happens when he uses Theft of vitae or just a doge?
In which order do the effects take place? First steal blood and then 1
damage or the other way?
I'm just a litte confused.....8-)

strikes which causes damage. A strike that does not cause damage would
be unaffected. Also, the kind of damage done (agg or non-agg) is the
same as on the thaumaturgical strike. Thus, here are some examples of
what would happen if the good Reverend played the following cards:
Blood Fury: 4 damage (3+1).
Soul Burn: 3R damage (2+1).
Walk of Flame: 3 aggravated damage (2+1).
Theft of Vitae: steals 2 blood, as theft does not cause damage.
Blood to Water: burn 5 blood, as this also does not cause damage.
Lucky Blow: 2 damage (1 hand damage +1 for the lucky blow). This is
not a thaumaturgy card, so is unaffected by the Reverend.
A thaumaturgy card that says "Strike: Dodge": Dodge, as no damage is
being done.
Hope this helps.

Only when he inflicts damage with a "strike card that requires Thaumaturgy."
> What happens when he uses Theft of vitae or just a doge?
Theft of Vitae: no, since it isn't inflicting damage (there's a ruling
that adding damage to a non-damage-dealing strike has no effect).
Dodge: no, since it doesn't require thaumaturgy (as required by Reverend's
card text) and because it doesn't deal damage, as above.

Strikes resolve simultaneously (except First Strike, Dodge, and S:CE).
Damage is applied (but no blood spent to heal just yet) simultaneously
with other strike effects. After that, excess blood (if any) drains
off immediately, as normal. Then any damage applied is handled (healed
in the case of normal damage, etc.)
See the revised rulebook, sections 6.4.3.2 (Resolve Strike), 6.4.5
(Strike Effects) and 6.4.6 (Damage Resolution) for complete details.

Only in damage-dealing strikes which require Thaumaturgy.

Theft of Vitae is a strike, albeit not a damage-dealing strike.

Also, BtW is not affected by Reverend, since it is not a strike.
