Questions: Primal Instincts & Vast Wealth
Rachel & Chris
weapon as your next strike. Can Primal Instincts be used to allow you to
choose a strike other than a weapon whose maneuver you have already used?
Vast Wealth is worded (more or less) as follows:
"...the minion can now equip with the first piece of equipment you find in
your library..."
Is the action being taken to search your library, or to equip with the
equipment found? In other words, is blocking declared before or after the
equipment is located. This difference is very important to the use of the
card.

No. It will cancel the chosen strike and allow you to choose a new strike,
but that new strike still cannot be anything except the weapon strike.
Revised Rulebook, 6.4.3:
1. Choose Strike. Each minion chooses his strike. The strike can be from
a combat card, from a weapon the minion possesses, or (the default) a
hand strike. If a minion has used a maneuver from a strike (either a
strike card or a weapon) this round, then he cannot choose any other
strike for his initial strike of the round. For additional strikes,
any strike can be chosen, even if a maneuver had been used.
Just like Primal Instincts cannot be used during an Immortal Grapple to
change from a required hand strike to some other non-hand strike, since
Grapple still requires a hand strike.
