Bima

07/10/2026

The ally counts as "independent" when playing cards as a vampire [LSJ 20020503] [LSJ 20060126]

07/10/2026

The enter play effect happens regardless of how it comes into play (e.g, {Pressing Flesh}). [ANK 20170309-2]

07/10/2026

Can be used to meet one (but not more than one) of the normal Discipline requirements of a multi-Discipline card. [LSJ 20011217] [LSJ 20090508]

07/10/2026

Multiple similar effects (e.g. two {Infernal Familiar}, or {Ian Forestal} with an {Infernal Familiar}) cannot be used to meet the requirements of a multi-Discipline card that the minion is missing one or more Disciplines to play. [LSJ 20020218]

07/10/2026

While a minion has an effect that allows them to play cards that require Discipline(s), they do not actually have those Discipline(s). [LSJ 19980303]

07/10/2026

While using their ability to meet a discipline requirement, they also meet that requirement for any other cards associated with the original effect (e.g. meeting the [ani] requirement for {Pack Alpha} or {Muricia's Call} also meets the [ani] requirement for the {Raven Spy} employed by that effect). [LSJ 20080205-2] [LSJ 20060417]

07/10/2026

Does not stack with similar effects (or another copy of itself) to provide superior version of the discipline(s) (e.g. {Leech} and {Putrescent Servitude} together does not provide superior [POT]) [ANK 20180111]

07/10/2026

Ghouls are monsters, not mortal. [ANK 20200203-2] [LSJ 20060515]

07/10/2026

They cannot use a card to commit diablerie (eg. {Amaranth}) [RTR 19970630] [LSJ 20080717]

07/10/2026

If a card they play as a vampire sends them to torpor (eg. {Reform Body}), they burn. REVERSAL of previous rulings. [LSJ 20060409]

07/10/2026

If they takes aggravated damage from a card they plays as a vampire (eg. {Burst of Sunlight}), they lose one life but do not go to torpor. [LSJ 20060409]

07/10/2026

If they use their last life to pay for an action, the action still resolves fully. If that leads to an oust, the oust is resolved before resolving effects triggered by the fact that they burn. [LSJ 20080512]

07/10/2026

"that Discipline" refers to the card on Bima. If the card is no longer there, then the effect cannot be used. [LSJ 20071006]

07/10/2026

If they use their last life to play an action modifier, the action fails. If they use their last life to play a strike, combat ends before strike resolution. [ANK 20180928-1]

07/10/2026

When putting {Agent of Power} on Bima, its card text is applied as normal (Choose a discipline and burn it in your discard phase) [LSJ 20071001-1]

07/10/2026

The discipline needs not be announced when Bima is played. The replacement card can be used if it is a discipline. [PIB 20150418]
