Priscus votes
Peter Gillis
According to the rules, the is a sub-vote involving the Prisci. Is this
for any and all votes, or only for votes called by actions. (Is there a
sub-vote for wild hunts and blood hunts?) If I have the only Priscus on
the table, does that mean it is automatically worth three votes?
All help appreciated...

It is for all votes, including the hunts.

Effectively, yes.

Yes. Though since you said automatically worth 3 votes I must point
out that certain cards or conditions will void the votes such as
Pulling Strings and being in topor.

I don't have the Sabbat rules in front of me, so I don't remember if Pulling
Strings can be played during the Prisci sub-vote (I don't think it can if
I remember right), but I believe it cannot be played after the sub-vote,
even if there is only one Priscus, because the votes are considered to
come from _all_ Prisci, not any particular Priscus. However, LSJ might
want to comment...

Speaking of Prisci, if a Lasombra starts a Political Struggle with a Priscus,
and then send the Priscus to torpor, does the Lasombra gain the new votes in
the Prisci vote or the normal vote? I would think the latter, unless the
Lasombra is already a priscus.

Card Title: Political Struggle
Blood/Pool: n/a
Clan/Discip.: Lasombra
Card Type: Action
Card Text: This is a +1 stealth action.
(D) Put this card on a ready vampire. The acting
vampire may enter combat with the vampire with this
card as a +1 stealth (D) action. If the vampire with
this card is burned or sent into torpor, the acting
vampire gains X votes, where X is the number of
non-contested votes the vampire with this card has;
burn this card afterwards.
Artist: Patrick Kochakji
Rarity: Rare
From the errata:
Prisci in general have zero votes (for effects that operate based
on the number of votes a vampire has). [RTR 970630]
Political Struggle works based on the number of votes a vampire has and
a Priscus has no votes outside of the Priscus sub-vote. This would also
be the case for things like Island of Yiaros which work based on the
number of votes a Priscus has.
Even if they did get the Prisci votes for the prisci vote, they couldn't
cast them since they aren't a priscus. Only Prisci votes can be cast in
the prisci vote - this requires you to have a ready Priscus (so that
vamp who has an additional vote in the prisci sub-vote can only cast it
if you control a ready priscus and not if he, say, Cardinal Benedicts
himself and he was your only Priscus).

Correct. Nice work - saves me a lot of typing. Thanks.
