Rules
10/08/2026
Damage is inflicted even against a dodge. A "strike: combat ends" ends combat before damage is applied, as will a combattant going to torpor during first strike. [RTR 19941109] [TOM 19951216] [PIB 20140324] [ANK 20200422]
10/08/2026
Does not gain additional strikes from its owner. [RTR 19941109]
10/08/2026
The discipline level used to recruit it decides which version it is (inferior or superior). This does not change once it is in play. [RTR 19941109] [ANK 20180612]
10/08/2026
The damage is environmental, the retainer is the damage source. Immunity to retainer or retainer type works against it. [ANK 20180612] [ANK 20211127]
