Codex of the Damned, anyone use this for anything?
Pullen
Type: Equipment
Unique equipment.
While the bearer has Thaumaturgy [tha], he or she is considered to
have superior Thaumaturgy. Each time the bearer with Thaumaturgy
commits diablerie, each other ready vampire you control gains 1 blood,
and each one younger than the victim may receive a master: Discipline
card from your ash heap, hand, or library (shuffle afterward).
Seems that a Trophy: Progeny deck could abuse this with Tribute to the
Master to gain pool, anyone got successes or failures that they could
share?

You could probably make a pretty solid pool gain engine out of that.
Titled Tremere make 3rd Tradition kids. Each turn, one of the 3rd kids
plays Rutor's Hand to end up in torpor. One of the big ones (with the
book and also a Rutor's Hand so he can take multiple actions a turn)
eats him. You win the blood hunt vote due to your cleverly set up vote
lock (Ha!). All the little 3rds gain a blood and maybe a skill card.
Tribute. Lather, rinse, repeat.
Might work?

You only get trophies if you burn a red list as a D action or in
combat. Diablerizing your own vamp is neither...

Trophies? I don't care about stinking trophies. I just like the
"diablerize your own guys to get blood on everyone 'cause you are
holding the Codex of the Damned" plan.
Trophies are for lunatics. Well, and Norm.

Funny, just last week I was talking with Denis about building a deck
with the Codex. I will have to overcome the moving parts, but it could
be fun (for me).

Tyler + Archon + thaumaturgy skillcard + Codex.
Mictlantecuhtli + Codex to give each of your vampires 2 blood and a skillcard whenever he diablerizes.

> Mictlantecuhtli + Codex to give each of your vampires 2 blood and a skillcard whenever he diablerizes.
+ skill card (since you've got 'em) and Fueled By Heart's Blood for no-
risk diablerie.
+ Talbot's Chainsaw, since he's immune to weapon damage.
+ tons of fun.
Wow, I may need to build that. That sounds like a blast.

They don't have Thuam so they would need skill cards, but yeah.

If this ever worked, it would be the funnest deck ever.
Pretty good. However, NEEDS MOAR MONSTAR.
Once Mict has a Chainsaw and Eye and Monster, he can destroy two
minions a turn without playing a card.
Sadly, once he has a Chainsaw he can no longer play Abactor ("bearer
cannot hunt").

Did you realize that Fueled by Heart's Blood does not protect from blood hunts
called by playing Abactor?
Abactor [Promo-20090401]
Cardtype: Action
+1 stealth hunt action.
Gain 5 blood. After successful resolution, a referendum is called to call a
blood hunt on this vampire (independent of the action, just as if he or she
had committed diablerie).
Fueled by Heart's Blood [Gehenna:R]
Cardtype: Event
Gehenna. Do not replace until a vampire commits diablerie.
Put 10 counters on this card. Remove one counter each time another Gehenna
card is put in play. A blood hunt cannot be called on a vampire whose
capacity is greater than the number of counters on this card when he or she
diablerizes a younger vampire.

Seirhune
Muaziz. She was backed up by (dom) 2 caps. The deck had equipment
needed for Muaziz to go murdering....embraces, create gargoyles and a
pile of bleed and dominate skill cards.
Muaziz rushes, eats a guy....the hordes of weenies get superior
dominate and then the table freaks out at all the DOM.
It worked not too badly, apart from being Public Enemy #1 when it
worked.

I don't think that's true. I'm certainly not seeing it in the card
text.

Abactor requires that a referendum be conducted to 'call a blood hunt
on this vampire'. So the referendum must be conducted. But even if
it is successful, Fueled will protect the qualifying vampire from
having the blood hunt be called, right? If not, why not?
Oh, wait. I guess there's no 'younger vampire' with Abactor...
Scratch what I said above. Fueled doesn't protect you.
Hope that helps (someone other than me as well),

No, there is no diablerie, that is why fueled does not work,. it
directly requires diablerie. abactor has no diablerie. see truncated
quoted text of fueled for exact phrase
Robert Scythe
Hey, man, he corrected himself or did you not pay close attention to
the text in the last sentence of his reply:
************"Oh, wait. I guess there's no 'younger vampire' with
Abactor...
Scratch what I said above. Fueled doesn't protect you."************
Blooded Sand
I did, he stated that there is no younger vampire. the problem is that
there is no diablerie, not a younger vampire. But yeah, the younger
vampire is a secondary problem.
