Q: Form of Mist

[Greg Faulkner]

Question:

Can a vampire use Form of Mist(superior) to continue an already successful
action?

For example:
Minion A Ambushes Minion B.
The action is unblocked.
Minion A plays Form of Mist.
Combat starts over.

Also, can Minion A continue to play additional Forms of Mist(superior) in the
second combat? and third?

You cannot play the FoM in this situation. I use, for my authority, the
rule that you cannot play a card to add stealth if that stealth is not
required to overcome a block attempt being made at equal or greater
intercept.

However, if the action were blocked, a FoM could be played to begin
another combat.

Oh, another reason you can't do it. The "continue" text assumes an
interuption (or block) of your attempted action.

Yes.

You may continue an action that has already been considered successful.
For example, if a Bum's Rush is successful, you may play superior Form of
Mist during that combat to continue the action, in which case a second
combat may start (but the action can then be blocked). Note that if you
complete the action again, you get all of its effects again. For example,
if you complete Bum's Rush again, you would get an optional maneuver in the
second combat.

Yes, and yes, ...

Good point.

I'll pass this along to the RT and see what the reason is for allowing
uneeded stealth to be played in their prior ruling (or, hopefully, to
get the ruling reversed to match what you have just said).

Thanks for the suggestion.
