Imbued (Hunter) FAQ, version 1.0.3
Q) Where is the official information about the Imbued kept?
A)
http://www.white-wolf.com/vtes/index.php?line=Checklist_NightsOfReckoning
Q) Is there a website that documents everything else about the
Imbued and how they interact with the rest of the game of Vampire: The
Eternal Struggle?
A) Yes.
http://vtes-hunter-net.tripod.com
Q) Are the Imbued tournament worthy?
A) Yes.
There are 32 tournament winning Imbued decks archived here:
http://vtes-hunter-net.tripod.com/ITWDA.htm
Q) According to the Conviction rules, I can place a conviction on
each Imbued during my untap phase. Does this mean my Incapacitated
Imbued as well?
A) Yes. The rules do not restrict the gaining of conviction to
ready Imbued.
Q) Does the Imbued's life count as blood for playing cards like
Disengage "Alternately, burn 1 blood to cancel a grapple card"?
A) No. Allies are unable to burn blood, because they have no
blood.
Q) Do Imbued take aggravated damage or anything like that, to
allow them to be burnt in combat (other than a card that says "burn
Ally")?
A) No. They, like other allies, handle aggravated damage by
burning one life per point of damage.
Q) Can Imbued perform diablerie or can they burn a vamp that's in
torpor?
A) No, allies cannot burn vampires in torpor (without explicit
text granting the ability).
Q) What amount of pool is the cost to recruit an Imbued for the
purposes of Kindred Segregation?
A) Imbued are not recruited, so they have no cost to recruit and
all Imbued in play may stay in play be repaying that zero cost.
Q) How many different power cards can one Imbued play in a single
turn?
A) All of them that the Imbued meets the requirements for, one at
a time.
Q) If a imbued can play several different power cards in the same
turn, can he untap after each power card played?
A) Yes. The imbued will untap after each power card he acquires
each turn.
Q) Can Imbued recruit an ally or employ a retainer, as long as the
card just requires a "minion playing it" and no additional
requirements or blood cost?
A) Yes. They are allies so all actions normally available to
allies thru the basic rules of the game are available to Imbued.
Q) Can Unity be used to bring Conviction cards from the ash to
your library?
A) Yes.
Q) Can Determine be used to cancel political actions, i.e. are
political actions classed as "action cards" for this purpose?
A) Yes. They're action cards for all purposes. See also Direct
Intervention.
Q) If Determine is used to cancel a political action, does this
count as the vampire having played a political action? Could the
vampire call a Black Forest Base vote or any other vote instead?
A) The political action has been played. For votes that can only
be called once per game, they are finished. (i.e. Ancient Influence,
Political Stranglehold, Reins of Power) The vampire can take a
different political action as the action did not reach resolution so
they are untapped and can take any action other than the one
prohibited by Determine.
Q) Does this mean that bleed actions are handled similarly? If my
Computer hacking is cancelled (by Determine), can I still bleed
normally (or bleed with another bleed card)?
A) Yes, for the same reasons - the taint of repeated actions is
applied during action resolution, and you never got anywhere near
that.
Q) What happens if an Imbued recives a life while incapacitated
(through Rejuvinate) do they leave the incapacitated region?
A) No. Gaining a life does not cause you to leave the
incapacitated region. You either need to burn Conviction cards the
normal way, or have card text that brings you back to the ready region
(such as Bond).
Q) When an imbued is brought into play and immediately contested,
is there a window to search the library/hand/ash heap for a Conviction
card before he leaves play?
A) Yes. Just as there is a window for paying three pool for a
contested scarce vampire and a window for burning the tired Jimmy Dunn
when a new one comes in to relieve him, there's a window for giving a
Conviction card to a contested imbued as it enters play (just before
it is contested).
Q) If an Imbued with no Conviction is contested and the contest is
later yielded, when the copy with no Conviction returns to play during
the untap phase, is he eligible for both the hand/ash heap/library
search for coming into play and the hand/ash heap during untap search
for each Imbued?
A) Yes. When an Imbued enters play with no Conviction, he may gain
1 Conviction from your library, hand or ash heap.
Q) If being bled, can I decline (or fail) to block, let the bleed
be pumped up to ungodly amounts and then cause it to fail with an
Imbued who has the Champion power?
A) Yes.
Q) If I use Champion, and enter combat, because the action has
failed - can the opposing minion continue it with effects such as Form
of Mist, Mirror Image and the like?
A) No. The action has failed. It wasn't blocked. Continuing a
failed unblocked action as if unblocked is simply continuing a failed
action -- it fails.
Q) How does React with Conviction interact with corruption
counters?
A) The corruption counter (from Corruption or Reformation or
Revelation of Despair/Wrath or Contagion) would be placed, as normal.
Then, when the option to take control is exercised (and canceled by
React with Conviction), the effect of burning counters to take control
doesn't occur. Not because the counters are a cost, but because the
effect that would burn them is canceled.
Q) How does React with Conviction interact with the No Repeat
Actions rules?
A) React with Conviction cancels the action as it is announced. So
the would-be acting minion isn't restricted by NRA (since the action
didn't reach resolution).
Q) When using Powers that have action modifier icon such as
Project or Donate, do I tap both power and Imbued when I use it or
just the Power?
A) Just the Power. Playing an action modifier doesn't tap you, so
using an action modifier Power doesn't tap you. (Unless card text says
otherwise.) Note that an acting Imbued is pretty likely to be tapped
when trying to use an action modifier Power in the first place, so
having to tap them would be a bit weird!
(Announcing an action does tap you, however.)
Q) How many Strike with Conviction cards can I burn if my Imbued
is in combat with another minion?
A) One per strike. It's not "Burn to get +1 strength on a strike",
it's "Burn to make a... strike." Think of it like playing Lucky Blow.
You can't use 3 of them on the same strike.
Q) Can Resurrection be played at the valeren level and target an
Imbued?
A) No. Crypt cards can never be placed in your hand.
Q) When a minion burns an incapacitated Imbued, how many
conviction can a given ready imbued burn for damage in retaliation?
A) Just one. Each imbued can burn 1 conviction to inflict 1
damage. Not X conviction to inflict X damage.
Q) When an Imbued first uses a power like Surge, it taps the surge
power card and burns the 1 conviction to get 3 damage prevention
counters so that means I can't use the Surge anymore for the remainder
of the combat for more damage prevention counters right?
A) Right.
http://www.white-wolf.com/vtes/index.php?line=Checklist_NightsOfReckoning
Rule #3. To use one of those effects, you must tap the power card (and
pay whatever cost the effect requires).
Q) What happens when you use Smite and burn the 3 convictions,
then you play Rotschreck do you still burn the tech equipment like
laptops and ir goggles?
A) No. Rotschreck ends combat before strike resolution.
Q) Does Second Sight stack? Can I burn multiple copies of it
during a single action to get more than 1 intercept or pseudo-stealth?
A) No. Card text specifies that you cannot burn more than 1 per
action.
Q) At which point exactly is Strike with Conviction burned while
using to bleed at +1 bleed? After the action is successfull or after
the action ends? Can I use the same Strike with Conviction that I used
to bleed to get +1 damage when I'm blocked?
A) The Strike with Conviction is burned when the action is
successful, i.e. unblocked. If the action is blocked, the Imbued still
has the conviction and can use it to affect their strike in the
resulting combat.
Q) What happens to Powers put into play via Edge Explosion while
it is burned by The Uncoiling/Black Hand Ritual? Do they stay on the
Imbued and cannot be used (have no effect)? Is it true both for powers
with always-on effects and action/action modifier/reaction-style
powers?
A) Powers in play are completely unaffected by the removal of Edge
Explosion. They can be used exactly as they could while Edge Explosion
was in play.
Q) Can I count the number of cards in my deck while cutting the
deck with Unity? For example leaving certain number of cards at the
top/ bottom of the library?
A) Yes. You can count the number of cards at any time, and may cut
a particular number whenever you cut any deck. [LSJ Aug 31 2007]
