Antediluvians

Antediluvians (by Damnans) Print size: 12.33 x 8.8 cm The new modifications are in bold text. Before a game begins, each player must choose one Antediluvian card (different from each other, so that there are not 2 copies of the same Antediluvian in play), and put it in play. Antediluvian cards stay in play until his or her controller is ousted. Antediluvian cards are unique and do not contest. Besides, they cannot be affected by any card or effect in the game. Antediluvian cards grant special merits and flaws to their controllers, as well as to all members of one or more clans in the game. OPTIONAL RULES (by John Smithen) You may transfer as much blood as you wish to them, and move them into play whenever you wish. They do not affect the game in any way save that mentioned in their text, and cannot be affected by any other cards or minions. Each untap you must remove a blood from the Antediluvian, should you be unable to do so, the antediluvian is removed instead, and its effects cease.

Antediluvian Tournament Rules (by Franck Bernard aka ZBA) I want to thank both Damnans and Carlos Fabregat, because they inspired me the rules and the vampires. I created the vampires with the final touch of Stéphane Lavrut, thanks to him. This game is going to be plaid for the first time in Paris on January, 17th 2004. Game System Each player begins the game with 15 pool in addition to his or her 30 pool. Each player begins with three uncontrolled vampires and the chosen Antediluvian, uncontrolled too. In addition to normal transfers, each player has five 'Awakening' points each turn. 'Awakening' points work the same way as transfer points, but they can only be used to influence an Antediluvian. Transfer points can not be used to influence an Antediluvian. Special Rules about Antediluvians Antediluvians gain one additional blood from he blood bank when they successfully hunt. Antediluvians can only be diablerized by another Antediluvian. Antediluvians do not contest. Antediluvians are unaffected by Master cards. If an Antediluvian is burned (via combat or any other way), he or she does not go to his controller's ash heap, but to the uncontrolled region, empty, instead. The player can influence the Antediluvian again by using 'Awakening' points.
