a couple of protean questions

[Guest]

Archived from groups: rec.games.trading-cards.jyhad (More info?)

Claws of the Dead/Wolf Claws ..etc. Do I have to play these before my
opponents strike so that they have a chance to dodge? Or can I play
then after both strikes are declared?

Shadow of the Wolf. Do both of my strikes get the +1 damage or just the
additional strike?

Flesh of Marble. Do I have to take 1 point of damage in order for the
rest to be prevented or can I prevent the 1 point with something else?
For example say I take 3 agg and use superior flesh of marble in
effect, do I still take the 1 agg and go to torpor or can I use like a
flak jacket to prevent that 1 agg?

Thanks in advance.

You can play them after strikes have been declared, before it is
resolved.

Just the additional strike.

IANLSJ. The inferior is listed below. The rulings page above says
Flesh of Marble: Prevents all damage *that was not prevented* in
excess of one point. [RTR 19950209] (Note, the hyperlink provided to a
further ruling is broken).

Seems pretty clear that you need to take 1 point to have Flesh prevent
the remainder.

[pro] For the duration of the combat, when this vampire suffers a
point of damage (that he or she does not prevent) in a given round,
any additional damage inflicted on this vampire in the same round is
automatically prevented. Aggravated damage cannot be prevented in this
way.
