LSJ: Greta/card targets/gun strikes ?
Talo...@nospam.hotmail.com
1-Can greta kircher use her 'pay 1 blood to reduce bleed by 1' ability
even when she is tapped?
2-can you play a card without a legal target? (IE:steal weapon with no
weapon to steal, taste of vitae with no lost blood, disguised weapon
with no weapon in hand, etc.)
3-If a minion is prevented from using strikers from hidden lurker,
etc. can that minion still maneuver with a gun and have his
preselected strike with the gun fail? Or since he is selecting a
strike along with that maneuver, he is prevented from using the gun at
all?
thanks,

Yes =)

No, it is illegal. you cannot steal what doesn't exist in the first place.
You cannot equip with nothing.
Note, however, that you can play Minion tap on a vampire with zero blood, or
play taste of vitae if the opposing vampire has lost zero blood ("any amount
of blood" can be zero )

He cannot use the gun in any way, since he is commited to strike with it if
he uses the maneuver. Note that he can still maneuver with other
"nonstrike"-maneuver cards. Lurked vampire can also play immortal grapple to
prevent those pesky flame thrower involving combos ;)

Correct.

Think you'll find she can.

I see no reason why you cannot play Fast Hands if they do not have a
weapon. However, card text with Disguised Weapon states 'if you have
a weapomn in your hand', so no, you cannot play that.
I believe you can play Taste of Vitae irrespective of blood loss.
Best to check with LSJ on this point. The only reason I am unsure is
I don't think you can play Damage Prevention cards if you have taken
no damage (if your opponent dodges for instances). Hence my
uncertainty. LSJ, clarification please? :)

No, you can't. If you use the inherant maneuver of a gun, you MUST
strike with that gun (without exception - unless you're Immortal
Grappled). if you are unable to strike (Hidden Lurker, Fast
Reactions, Lapse) you cannot use the maneuver with the weapon.
