Confirmation: TApedness

Certain vampires may tap for a certain effect (Mariel for end combat,
the new giovanni 2ptr to add+1 intercpet, etc)

It is my understanding that if they are tapped, they cannot use
wake/forced etc to tap and get their ability, as they do not return to
an untapped state, but merely are able to play reaction cards and
block as if untapped.

Correct?

Correct. Wake/Forced are very clear on which effects are permitted.

Correct as per card text.

However, with Guard Dogs, Rats Warning, if you were being bled, you
could untap and then use teh tap effect (assuming you have at least
basic animalism).

With 2nd Tradition, Guard Duty and Eternal Vigilance, you untap and
attempt to block. If the block fails, you are still untapped (unless
you get Faceless Night-ed).

None of these are much help to Murial as she starts life as a vampire
with no animalism, who is not a Prince, Justicar, Archbishop,
Cardinal, or Priscus.
