Two Questions
Madman
end combat. I play Telepathic Tracking (I presume I can play it even though
there could be said to be an "uncanceled press" from the Trap). Does the
press from Trap carry over? That is, is there an automatic press at the end
of round 2??
And why does Telepathic Tracking have that "uncanceled press" wording,
anyway?
2) Is there a way for a vampire to increase his/her strength permanently?
Perhaps a piece of equipment (like the Hawg, which gives a press), or
perhaps
a "Shadow of the Wolf"-type card or a Master card? I don't know of any, but
thought I'd ask.
Thanks in advance,
Madman

Therefore there will be no uncanceled press.

Yes, since a card (several cards, in fact: Trap, Majesty, Telepathic Tracking) had
been played in the previous round.

Depravity. Ritual Challenge (for Gangrel). Art of Pain (for Toreador antitribu).

Yes you can.

Yes since combat didn't end.

Because if there's a press to continue you shouldn't be able to cycle cards
by playing a TT to continue as well I guess? That kinda goes against the
rule that you cannot play a press to continue if there's already an
uncancelled one played.

There's a master card called Depravity that does this, for the gangrels
there's a burnable master called Gangrel Revel, and also an action card
called Ritual Challenge. Art of Pain gives + 2 strength for a !Toreador.
Also the Caitiff Smudge gets +1 strength if he commits diablerie.

I'm pretty sure the answer is "yes".

Not sure on that one.

Ritual Challenge, Depravity, and Gangrel Revel come to mind. I'm sure
there are others.

LSJ already mentioned Depravity, Ritual Challenge, and Art of Pain. Mr. Hamblin
also added Gangrel Revel.
In addition, there's also Brujah Debate. And in the special case of Smudge, he
can diablerize for the first time.

I wouldn't count Brujah Debate or Gangrel revel as permanent, since they both have
built-in burn options.
Depravity and Art of Pain can be burned by contesting, but that leaves them in
the "permanent" class, IMO. And the special case of Smudge, of course, is
permanent.

Yeah I agree, but it's hard to know what he meant with permanent since
they're semi-permanent cards (they increase strength outside combat too).
