[LSJ] questions : bloodform + blood of acid

[Arpeges]

Blood of acid (Vic, 2 blood)
inf : Only usable at close range before strikes are chosen. During strike
resolution, the opposing minion takes an amount of damage equal to the
damage he or she successfully inflicts.
sup: as above, but the damage is aggravated.

Bloodform (Vic)
sup : Play before range is chosen. This vampire is immune to non-aggravated
damage for the current round. This vampire cannot strike this round. This
vampire gets an optional press, usable only to end combat.

During a combat, Tzimisce A plays before range : bloodform and after range,
blood of acid. The opposing minion (B) strikes for 4 non-aggravated damage.
Minion A doesn't strike, as he played bloodform at superior.

1st question : Is the damage inflicted by minion B considered successfully
inflicted despite the Bloodform ? and btw, does he take the same amount of
damage from blood of acid ?

I guess yes, because the damage is not prevented. Minion A is just immune to
the damage he received, which is different. But I need your help to certify
!

2nd question : assuming that minion B suffers from Blood of Acid (wether or
not there was a bloodform), is the damage environmental ? Can minion B
prevent these damage ? Which source is it considered to be ?

Thanks in advance

Yes. Yes.

Correct.

Yes. Yes. Environmental.

How is this different from Ex Nihilo, re LSJ 10/29/2001:

Well, it's completely contradictory, for starters. But I suspect you already
knew that part. :-)

[LSJ 10/29/2001] is correct. My previous post above re: Bloodform and
Blood of Acid is not correct.

Damage inflicted on a minion (or retainer) who is immune to that damage is
not considered to be successfully inflicted.

Thanks for the catch, Chris.

Btw, the zero-reduced-damage by a memoried of mortality vampire against an
ally
is considered to have been "succesfully inflicted" ?

thanks in advance

It's 0 points, so it isn't inflicted at all (neither successfully nor
unsuccessfully). The question of "successfully inflicted" only applies
to points of damage. No points => no question.

Well, I suspected as much. But I also considered that I might be misreading
one or the other.

Cool, I feel a little better now. I was thinking that I was really, *really*
gonna hate the Bloodform/Blood of Acid combo.

Although, that gets me thinking about a King of the Mountain/Drawing Out the
Beast combo. Too bad DOtB is 1/combat now. ;)
