blitzing with bloodlust

[sympatico]

Do I blitz before or after I bite a thrall or does it not matter which?

[besters]

Biting the thrall ends the action.

Biting the thrall ends the action.

Ok so before then I guess. But you bite a thrall before passing or handing off, right?

that's one it says in the rulebook

[purdindas]

A vampire who has bloodlust has to finish his turn standing next to a Thrall and bite him or else face ejection and cause a turnover. You must do all actions such as blitzing, handing-off or passing prior to the bite.

[Darkson]

Purdindas, you are incorrect:

Either way, at the end of the declared Action, but before actually passing, handing off, or scoring, the vampire must feed.

(Emphasis mine)

So you must bite a thrall after you blitz but before you pass, hand off or score, and you can't block at all with bloodlust but must make a move action instead, is that right? How about if you're standing next to a thrall while blocking? Can't you just bite him and carry out the block? If not I guess you could just carry out the block, move a square and then back and voila you've blitzed and can now bite the thrall. And what about fouling? (not exactly the most straight forward rule in the game, is it?)

[Darkson]

If you declare a Block, you can't change it to a Blitz - they're different actions.
If you decide to Block, you need to end up next to a Thrall after any follow up.

If you foul, you need to end up next to a thrall afterrolling for a foul.

I disagree that it's not straight forward, you just need to read the skill description.

Oh so I can block with bloodlust if I end up next to a thrall at the end? Cause in the skill description it says you cant block but must change the action into a move action.

No it doesn't. It says "may".
