Two Questions
guntherbl
retainers considered environmental or coming from the minion with the
retainer?
- I play a Master card, my prey plays Sudden Reversal to burn my card, my
predator plays another S.R. to reverse my prey's. What happens? Does it
mean that my original master is not burned or is it burned anyway?
Thank you.

Effectively, it's anything from a strike to the opposing minion (e.g.
the damage Rufina Soledad does to Lucita with her hand strike) or
anything else which explicitly specifies it comes from the minion.

It's considered environmental.

The effect of the first SR is cancelled, and so your original master
card goes through.
If it didn't, the point of playing and allowing the playing of the
second Sudden Reversal would be none.

Damage done by cards played by the minion, but not "from" the minion
like a strike. All non-strike damage inflicted on an opposing minion.
James was confused when he replied with the following, which is wrong:

This part is correct.
The damage is coming from the retainers, not from the minion,
and so it will not count for Pulled Fangs, Blood of Acid,
Memories of Mortality, et. al.

James is correct here as well.

Well, try this... :-)
Damage is only considered to have come from a minion if the damage is from a
strike or if an effect specifically states that the damage is dealt by the
minion. Damage from other effects is considered "environmental," and has no
particular source. [RTR 19970630]
So, as James and the Lasombra (mmm.... is it The Lasombra instead?) pointed
out, retainers are part of the environment...

1. Is damage from Blood to Acid enviromental? I think that it is and
you can't prevent it by skin of steel, you must need skin of rock or
something similar, right?

Correct.
