[edit] Mechanics
- Grouping -- each vampire now has a group number. A player can only use vampires from 2 adjacent groups during a game, i.e. vampires from group 2 and 3. This should help preventing too powerful combinations of vampires as well as supporting more variety of vampires used in play.
- No Repeat Actions -- vampires may not take the same action twice during a game turn, except for hunting. Some general types of actions (like direct attacks) may be taken several times, as long as the minion uses different cards to do so.
- Blood Hunts -- after a vampire has been diablerized a Blood Hunt is now called automatically.
[edit] Notable Cards
- Baltimore Purge -- an action card sending one of each player's vampires to torpor during the next turn.
- Tension in the Ranks -- a master card making the player pool (life) each time one of his minions is burned or sent to torpor.
- Weighted Walking Stick -- a combat card resembling a melee weapon for a few turns.
