hi LSJ !
i need your help on this :

Two vamps in combat : Lambach and Beast (i love those mini scenarii)
Beast is *Blocking*
before range, Beast plays Torn signpost, raising strength to 4
Ranges stays close. Lambach then plays sup "Blood of Acid".
Strike declaration : Lambach plays sup "Scorpion Sting".
Can then Beast play a "behind you" -Strike : Dodge, with no effect, to avoid
being burned ?
or is he commited to play something other than dodge by sup. scorpion sting
?
I think the former but... hey, you're the net rep, you know it all =)

keep up the good work
reyda

You cannot dodge; you are prohibited from playing one for no effect.

Similarly, under Immortal Grapple, you cannot cycle cards to no effect.

Scorpion Sting says "This strike cannot be dodged," not "the opposing
minion may not dodge," yes?

Which specifically restricts strikes by card text. Not as clear with
Scorpion Sting.

Erkle, my apologies.

This is a touch less clear. Hmm.....

And the strike hasn't resolved yet, either. Okay, let it be played and
ignored. Sorry.
