> 1/ does a vampire targeted by Drawing out the beast (superior) gets the
unpreventable damage even if his strike is a Combat ends?
Watch those long lines. Netiquette for e-mail suggests 75 columns
or less.
Yes. Drawing Out the Beast's damage occurs at the end of the round,
no matter how the round ends.
> 2/ can a vampire use a Leather Jacket to prevent the damage inflicted by
superior Fractured Armament before it is destroyed?
No, because the effects of the strikes are simultaneous and instant.
By the time you have damage to prevent, you no longer have a Jacket.
Conversely, by the same principle, a vampire who steals blood can
use that stolen blood to heal damage done by the opposing strike.
Because by the time he has damage to prevent/heal, he also has the
stolen blood to burn to heal it.
> 3/ If you prevent the damage inflicted by Fleshcraft or bonecraft, do you
prevent the side effects of the damage?
There are no side effects from the damage (except going to torpor, I
guess, if you can't heal the damage - which would be prevented, of
course, if you prevent the damage).
All of Fleshcraft's (or Bonecraft's) effect takes place when the
strike resolves.
Preventing part of the effect doesn't affect the other part.
Canceling the whole effect (by Dodging, for example) would work, though.
> 4/ Some cards such as Taste of Vitae need to know the damage inflicted by the
minion, excluding environmental damage inflicted by Carrion Crows, for
example. When using Skin of Rock for example, do you get to choose which
damage to prevent (e.g Carrion Crows or the vampire's strike if both damage
are not aggro)?
Taste of Vitae doesn't care how or by whom the damage was inflicted.
It will count blood spent to heal Carrion Crow's damage, for instance.
Damage prevention effects can prevent damage from any source(s).
Skin of Rock can prevent aggravated as well as normal damage, BTW.
