New Terminology
'Before Combat Begins' actually means 'As Combat is Entered'. [RTR]
Non-Camarilla vampires.
Cannot be princes, although they can become primogen members. If a
non-Camarilla begins with votes and later gains a title, he loses the
votes he started with, just as if he had lost a title. [RTR]
Cannot call Praxis Seizures, Justicar Retribution, Command of the Harpies,
Masquerade Enforcement, nor a vote to burn Elysium: the Arboretum. [RTR]
Cannot call Camarilla Exemplary. [TOM 951227]
Can call any votes not listed above. [TOM 960102]
Cannot be chosen as an Archon or Camarilla Exemplary. [RTR]
Suffer the effects of blocking an Archon or Camarilla Exemplary. [RTR]
Inner Circle members
Don't qualify for Prince/Justicar-only cards. [RTR]
Are titled (and would lose their title if they gain another). [TOM 951215]
Derive their votes from their titles (and would lose the votes with the
title), but the +2 bleed is independent of the title. [TOM 951217]
Cannot be targetted by the Blood Hunt action card. [RTR] !NEW!
Equipment which are Unique Locations
# Are treated as both equipment and locations, and can be targetted by cards
# that target either. [TOM 951209]
Do not count as equipment while they are in play. [RTR]
May be put on any ready minion if moved in an ambiguous fashion (by Disputed
Territory, e.g.). If the new controller has no minions, the locquipment is
burned. [RTR]
If the equipping minion cannot pay for the locquipment, the locquipment is
simply burned with no effect. [TOM 951215]
============================================================================
CARD-SPECIFIC RULINGS
Acquired Ventrue Assets - Master (Gio) (2):
Can be used during any master phase, not just its controller's. [RTR] !NEW!
Archon - Political Action - Prince/Justicar:
Cannot choose a non-Camarilla vampire to be the Archon. [RTR]
Banishment - Political Action:
delete "from the controlling Methuselah's active region" :T01:
A banished vampire will return to play when it again has blood >= capacity
on it at the end of its Methuselah's influence phase. [TOM 951209]
Disciplines on the vampire will count towards his capacity. [TOM 951209]
Except for cards played on the vampire, all effects are forgotten (e.g.,
acquired/lost titles, Deevolution, Blood Bond, etc.) [TOM 951209]
All minion cards on the vampire become uncontrolled as well, and are immune
to contesting or affects like Arson or Cryptic Mission. These cards come
back into play when the vampire does. [RTR]
All master cards on the vampire are still controlled and could be contested.
[RTR]
A Banished vampire remembers only two things: how much blood he has and what
cards are played on him. Other effects are ended. [RTR]
Exception: a Blood Bond restriction is remembered. [RTR] !NEW!
# Exception: The gaining of a title *is* remembered (while the loss of one
# is still not remembered) [TOM 960115]
Passive effects remain in effect (Disciplines, e.g.) while active effects
cannot be used (Blood Doll, e.g.) [RTR]

Corpse Minion - Retainer (Gio) (1):
May be used any number of times during a single action. [TOM 960109]
Donal O'Connor - Vampire (Bru) (8):
An empty blocking vampire may still block (and will simply try and fail to
burn a blood). [TOM 951215]

combat. (tentative) [TOM 951215]
The blocking vampire pays 'as combat is entered' [RTR]

Force of Will - Action (fo) (1):
Will tap the acting vampire again, as it takes the bleed action. [TOM 951209]
The Bleed action is a separate action from the untap action. Untapping
is an undirected action. Any action modifiers/reaction cards will not
hold over to the Bleed action. [RTR]
The Bleed action is mandatory, and must be the next action. [TOM 951217]
The Bleed action must be a cardless bleed. Action cards that allow bleeds
(such as Computer Hacking) are not usable. [TOM 951217]

vampire is left tapped. [TOM 951212]
If the weapon gained is not in play (burned by Destroy Equipment, e.g.) by
the end of combat, do not burn it (or shuffle it into your library, if
superior). [TOM 951212]
# Mis-quote deleted -LSJ !NEW!
Incriminating Videotape - Equipment:
If the tape is stolen, then the chosen minion is unable to block the new
possessor of the tape (and can now block whoever used to have it). If
the tape is removed from play, its effect ends. [TOM 960114]
Inverary, Scotland - Equipment (1):
The blood that a minion may place on this card is placed as an undirected
action, at zero stealth. [TOM 951215]
Jar the Soul - Action (ne):

Reduces the pool cost of retainers, as printed. [RTR]
[as opposed to the blood cost, which she cannot reduce -lsj]
Rutor's Hand - Action (th) (1):
To prevent the damage (superior version), treat it as if you are being struck
in combat (i.e., use combat cards, Flak Jackets, etc.) [TOM 951208]
Sacrificial Lamb - Action (ob) (3):
#If the superior version (a directed action) is used to burn a vampire in
# you own torpor region, no one may attempt to block. [TOM 951212]

Secure Haven will be burned when the target minion is burned. [TOM 951215]
If it is contested, it will not be burned when the target (vampire) goes

Sensory Deprivation - Action:
Is a (D) action in both its normal and superior forms. [RTR]
Shackles of Enkindu - Equipment (Gan) (2):

The controller of the Gangrel who places the Shackles on another minion
continues to control the shackles (and is the target of the (D) action
to burn the shackles) (errata). [RTR]
Shepherd's Innocence - Action (an) (1):
The basic version is a (D) action. [RTR]

Cannot be used if a vampire is burned as a result of a political action,
such as Tradition Upheld. [RTR] !NEW!

Must pay 2 blood for the attempt. This cost is paid even if the action is
blocked or otherwise fails. [RTR]
Thoughts Betrayed - Combat (do) (2):
May (must) be played outside of combat (before combat begins). [TOM 951209]
The superior version only prevents cards from being played. Cards already
in play may be used as appropriate (errata). [RTR]
If the acting vampire uses Thoughts Betrayed, then the Blocking minion is
prohibited from doing so. [TOM 951214]
#Is played "at the last moment" before combat - will not prevent reaction
# cards from being played (errata). [TOM 951216]
Is played "as combat is enetred" - will not prevent reaction cards from
being played. [RTR]

of the hunt is reduced to zero (a failed action). [TOM 951212]
If the victim is prevented from hunting, he may take no action. [RTR] !NEW!
The victim Ventrue cannot take any other actions before hunting, but other
minions' actions can be taken before the hunt. [TOM 951214]
The action to burn is a (D) action (at the Meth. that played it). [RTR]
Veiled Sight - Reaction (ch) (2):
The strike option (steal blood) given by the superior version may be used
once, on any round of the combat. [RTR]
The strike is not ranged. [TOM 951215]
May be used even if the acting minion is at zero stealth. [TOM 960115]
Vial of Garou Blood - Equipment:
Using Vial of Garou Blood counts as your one source of additional strikes for
each round, so it may not be used if you've already acquired additional
strikes this round and prohibits you from playing any further additional
strike cards for the rest of the combat. [RTR]
Zombie - Reatiner:
Is a retainer, and the damage dealt exactly as for Wolf Companion.

But effects generated by a vampire via a card in play do remain with the
banished vampire, correct?
It would be helpful if we had the whole principle, not just parts and
a few examples.

Kine Dominance is ambiguous - since it only gives the minion's controller
control of the location. And I assume your statment does not apply to the
original 'get control' action of equipping :-)

Sure. The actual answer was to a 'Vast Wealth' style equip action, but
I can see how the general rule for spending blood with a lein on it
would apply.

Then why word it as 'card in play' when you mean 'til end of game'?
Still, I'll modify the list (of course).

You got me. I can find no source for that statement (and it's too long
to be a typo). Being in combat doesn't imply being tapped, of course.

It changes card text, which fits my definition of errata.
Another case of the missing 'only' modifier you are so keen on adding
everywhere.

Since he says "left tapped" and not "is tapped," and since reaction cards
do not tap the user, I'd rule he winds up as he was before.

It doesn't matter how you get control of these locations; you always
get to choose the minion to give it to. This would include "unambiguous"
effects like Dominate Kine.
> If the equipping minion cannot pay for the locquipment, the locquipment is

Please note that this is only relevant if the vampire burned blood
for action modifiers or something :) The vampire can't attempt to equip
with them if it doesn't have the blood.

The #'ed ruling was an oops from when I was thinking you put title cards
on the vampire (in game terms, that is) when it gets the title.

The actual principle here is that "for the rest of the game" effects generated
by the Banished vampire end, whereas such effects pointing at it will resume
if/when the vampire comes back into play.
>Horrid Reality - Combat (ch) (2):

Why is the "acting vampire still tapped" part here? HR is a combat card,
of course the vampire is still tapped...
>Sacrificial Lamb - Action (ob) (3):

The RTR ruling is not errata. It's a ruling on how the superior version
is interprested, and reverses my earlier interpretation.

The entry does say "acting vampire," which threw both you and me.
In any event, the point is that Horrid Reality never changes whether the
minion is tapped or not.

: I'm not sure what the #'s are for, but note that the second entry here

A valid point that this marker is not mentioned in any legend, and means
something different here than it does in the House Rulings.
In the House Rulings, the ## markers before a house rule indicate that the
RT has ruled that this is the _official_ way the card should be played
(the ruling is left in, however, for sake of completeness).
In the Ruling/Errata Compendiums, the ## markers indicate an earlier ruling
that was overturned by the ruling which immediately follows it.
Thus, the two rules _do_ contradict, but they were both 'official' at one
time or another, and are both left in so that i) people may see how the
rulings evolve, and ii) people who missed the later ruling can see
how/when it was overturned.

Whatever. The point is that the ruling was about gaining control of an
equip-location already in play, regardless of how you get control of it.
>And I assume your statment does not apply to the

Correct. Again, the ruling was about gaining control of an equip-location
already in play.

Since I'm not sure where you're quoting "card in play" from, I'm not sure
how to answer the question. My point was that the "exception" reflected
an incorrect report of the previous ruling.
>>>Horrid Reality - Combat (ch) (2):

Am guessing it was a cut-and-paste from Magic of the Smith or something,
but I didn't check the file.

Whether it's errata depends on how you interpret the "but" in the superior
version, i.e., whether you think it means "in addition to" or "instead of".
My initial reading was the former; the ruling is that it's actually the latter.
We didn't formally issue a text change for the card, so technically
there isn't errata.

8) If a vampire is sent to the uncontrolled region, all "remainder of
game" effects it applied to other cards end. However, all "remainder of
game" effects that applied to it will still be in effect if the vampire
returns to play. For example, if a Banished vampire had played Blood Bond
on another vampire, the effect would end. But if the vampire has been the
victim of the bond, or had been chosen for The Rack, the effect would
start applying again when the vampire came back into play.
Any minion or master cards on the vampire written with a "remainder of
game" effect still remain in effect, as such cards are retained by the vampire.

The title itself is what gives her the 1 capacity. If you remove the title,
she loses the 1 capacity (and excess blood), even if you happen to be
replacing it with an identical title. After becoming prince of Paris a
second time, Delilah was back to 3 capacity, not boosted to 4.

They gain the 1 capacity as long as they have that title. If the title
goes, for any reason, so does the capacity. I'm not sure why you think
losing the title to Command of the Harpies would work differently than
losing it by substitution.
