Hi all,

I'm sure this has come up before, so one of you should be able to point me
in the right direction...

Can a Political card be used to gain one vote during the Blood Hunt?

The relevant sections doesn't seem to preclude the use:

6.3.3. Gaining Votes
<snip>
a.. Political Action Cards. Each Methuselah may gain one vote by using a
political action card. These cards say "worth 1 vote" to indicate this. If a
political action card was used to call the referendum, that card provides a
vote for the acting vampire's controller. Other political action cards used
for votes are simply burned without regard to the text on the cards. Each
Methuselah can gain no more than 1 vote from political action cards.

6.5.6. The Blood Hunt
<snip>
When a vampire commits diablerie, a referendum is automatically conducted to
determine if a blood hunt will be called on the diablerist. If the
referendum passes, a blood hunt is called, and the diablerist is burned.
This referendum is not an action, so it cannot be blocked, and action
modifiers and reaction cards cannot be played. Otherwise, this referendum is
handled just like any other.

Cheers!

Yes.

"handled just like any other" includes it, correct.

If you cantrol the acting vampire, can you use action modifiers that
affect the referendum (Bewitching Oration, Disarming Presence,
etc...)?

Colin McGuigan expounded:

..because calling the blood hunt referendum isn't an action. It's just a
consequence of there being a diablerie. You also can't play reaction
cards.

As suspected... :)

Thanks LSJ!

This should make for some interesting changes to the way that diablerie is
handled in our group! I foresee a number of very nervous diablerists!

Cheers
