Question: If I have Talbot's Chainsaw and the opposing

  minion plays a Trap, does Talbot's Chainsaw's press

  force me to press to end combat?

Answer: No. Talbot's Chainsaw's press is only usable to

  continue combat (errata).

Question: What happens when a Progeny (or an Embrace or

  a Creation Rite) is Banished?

Answer: It is placed in the uncontrolled region and

  continues to be treated as a vampire of capacity 1

  (plus any capacity from skill cards or other master

  cards, of course), and it can be influenced as

  normal.

Question: What happens if I Mind Rape a vampire and, on

  my next turn (when I have control of that vampire), I

  call and successfully pass a Banishment naming that

  vampire? Is he placed in my uncontrolled region or

  his previous controller's uncontrolled region?

Answer: The Banishment effect breaks the lingering

  "control" effect of the (already burned) Mind Rape,

  since such effects are not among the things that a

  Banished vampire "remembers". So the banished vampire

  is sent to his previous controller's uncontrolled

  region (since the Mind Rape effect is no longer in

  effect). (The answer is the same for Malkavian

  Dementia's effect as well as Ayelea's effect).

Question: Does Soul Burn (like Blood Fury and Blood

  Rage) nullify the *current* strike of the opposing

  minion's weapon?

Answer: Yes. It functions similarly to Blood Fury and

  Blood Rage (errata). Treat it as if it read:

    Strike: 1R damage. This damage cannot be prevented

    by cards that require Fortitude. If the opposing

    vampire attempts to strike with a weapon this

    round, he or she does no damage.

    Superior: As above, but for 2R damage.

  This errata is issued to match the original design

  intent of the card, and to match similar existing

  cards.

Question: Do you get the maneuver from Guard Dogs even

  if you fail to block the action? (i.e., untap with

  Guard Dogs, block with a different vampire, and then

  use Fast Reaction)?

Answer: No. You only get the maneuver if you

  successfully block the bleed (errata).

  This errata is issued to match the original design

  intent of the card, and to match similar existing

  cards.

Question: What is the minimum capacity of a vampire?

Answer: One. No effect can result in a vampire having a

  capacity of less than one (like Violet Tremain, Mind

  of a Child, and Purity of the Beast, for example).

Question: Can I play Life Boon to save my predator and

  give her all my pool, thereby ousting myself and

  gaining 1 VP?

Answer: Yes. (And your predator would gain 6 pool for

  the oust, in addition.)
