Can Watenda's ability be used in a combat he is not involved in? And
if so, would he need to be untapped?

No.
(Besides, there's no one "opposing" Watenda if he isn't involved in
the combat, right?)

Moot.

There seems to be some local debate amongst some new players regarding
the following. We are in the process of trying to find a copy of a
"Jyhad Player's Guide", but we're not having much luck.

Most cards are pretty clear about how to handle them, but some are not:

With regards to Eagle's Sight, how does it work...

1) Superior obfuscate lets you ONLY attempt to block any action of any
minion.

2) Superior obfuscate lets you attempt to block any action of any
minion with +1 intercept (the "lesser" ability).

3) Superior obfuscate can EITHER attempt to block any action of any
minion, OR you can use the lesser ability of +1 intercept (but not
both).


With regards to Nimble Feet...

Superior Celerity (look out! I have a stalk of Celery!) lets you

1) get an additional strike.

2) get an additional strike, and have a press

3) get either an additional strike, OR get a press, but not both.


We have a bunch of local folk who when we found out that we could buy
Jyhad boxes for $10 a piece at our local gaming store, went out and
bought 2-5 each. Jyhad (with no expansions) is having a bit of a local
resurgence.

Thanks for the assistance.

It's called "Darkness Unveiled" and while it may help you get a
better grasp on the basics, some of it is misleading, outdated,
or simply incorrect.

Eagle's Sight requires auspex, not obfscate, but otherwise #3
is correct.

VTES rulebook, section 3.1.1: "A vampire with a superior Discipline
can use either the plain-type or boldfaced text on a minion card
requiring that Discipline."

#3 is correct.
