LSJ - A slightly harder question to ease my mind
hamd...@my-deja.com
up another niggle I just want to check - at what point do you have to
declare Deflections / Redirections / Telepathic Misdirections / My
Enemy's Enemy?
I mean:
1)We were playing and I attempted a bleed. Prey X said "I am not
blocking", so out came the conditioning. Then he plays (legitimately) a
Deflection card. Does it count as a block/attempted block?
2)If it is NOT a block, does that mean anyone waking with Forced
Awakening and bouncing has to pay a blood, because they failed to block?
Much appreciated

Before you burn blood for the bleed (or before the bleed
resolves, in other words).

No. It is not a block, nor is it an attempt to block (both of which
would be prohibited, since he has already declined to block).

Yes.

but not right away, not until the action is completed, right?
LSJ
No, right away. Burn a blood as soon as the reacting (waking) vampire's
controller succeeds in blocking (with another minion) or declares that
she is not blocking.
Declaring that one is not blocking is implicit in playing Deflection (unlike
playing Telepathic Counter). [LSJ 30-AUG-1999]
