d. None of the above. The requirement (as with clan-requiring Hunting
Grounds or Animalism retainers) is only to bring the card into play. You
must take the action with a 5-or-less vampire; the card is attached to that
vampire. After that, you can stack Discipline cards to your heart's
content.

If I remember the text correctly:
As an action, Patrizia can employ a retainer in your
ash heap. She still pays the employment cost as normal, but she
burns one additional blood.
Hrm. That IS fuzzy. By 'cost' I'd take to mean Discipline or Clan
requirements in addition to blood (No Charnas the Imp for HER), but
it's easy to see 'cost' as referring to blood cost only. Also, the
text says nothing about what happens if the retainer costs pool, as
the Corpse Minion does. I assume pool cost is paid as normal.
Tom?

Atonement (which, by the way, looks like a Wonderful card) says "Requires
a ready vampire with a capacity below 6." Does this mean:
a. Only a vampire of capacity 5 or lower can take this action, but it
will remain on him until removed.
b. Only a vampire of capacity 5 or lower can take this action, and if his
capacity increases to 6 he will lose this card.
c. Any vampire may take this action, but if at any time you no longer
possess a ready vampire with capacity below 6, it is discarded.

Patrizia "can employ a retainer in your ash heap." This is treated exactly
like a normal employment action, except that you are choosing the retainer
card from your ash heap instead of your hand (and are paying 1 additional
blood). Thus, she must still meet clan/discipline requirements.
Yes, this is different from most "resurrect a retainer" effects.
