Hi there,

I couldn't find any specifis in previous posts, so here come a few
(maybe stupid) questions about ...good old Fidaï

1) Untapping of a Fidaï by "any Assamite with a capacity above 7",
does that only work during untap phase? Or at any time?
I'd say at any time

2)If so, (at any time), I'm also guessing that it can be done multiple
times a turn, correct?

3)I'm (hopefully reasonably) assuming that "Any assamite with a
capacity above 7" would also include this Fidaï him/herself, should
he/she ever attain that capacity, correct?

4)The fantastic event which prevents vampires from hunting when they
don't need to but gives you an alternative hiunt action(can't remember
the name right now, that'll teach me to post from work), think it's
"Restricted vitae": ABout this alternative hunt action (stealing a
blood from a younger vampire)=>
*is it, like hunting, nbot susceptible to NRA-restriction
*do hunt related modifiers apply( such as additional stealth, gaining
additional blood etc)?


Yes, I know some of you guys and girls are now wondering why on earth
I'm asking this, of all things, after not posting for such a while, but
you'll all have to wait and see. For now it's a secret :-))
Greetz,

This was errata'd shortly after Final Nights came out. It's only during
your untap phase.

It doesn't say "other", so yes a Fidai can untap itself during the untap
phase, if he's old enough.

It is an action provided by a card, so it is not repeatable.

It says "may hunt by", so this is considered a Hunt action. So all
rulings on hunt-action modifiers apply (extra blood stolen if it is not
explicitly "from the blood bank"), etc.

Correct.

Correct.
You can still hunt as normal under that card's effect (grabbing a blood
from the blood bank) several times in a turn, but you cannot take the
hunt action provided by the card in play more than once.
