When your prey is ousted, you are still left with a card whose text is
'During any Methuselah's untap phase, you may tap this card to remove
three copies of the chosen card in your prey's ash heap fom the game to
cause your prey to burn 1 pool.'

So yes, if your new prey has the same card you named originally, it
works on them too.

What if there only are two cards that "match", will those cards still get
burned but it will not result in loss of one pool?

Or does it have to bee three (or more..) cards for them to get burned?`

Correct. Life playing a Lupine Assault when someone's hand size is less than
five or using Scrying of Secrets against a payer who's library has fewer
than seven cards.

Really? The text is "During any Methuselah's untap phase, you may tap
this card to remove three copies of the chosen card in your prey's ash
heap fom the game to cause your prey to burn 1 pool." I thought that
normally, if you're doing something as a "cost" rather than as an
"effect", you can't do it partially - you can't even attempt it if you
can't pay the full cost. As I recall, you can't play a Submachine Gun
if you only have 3 pool, even though if you start the action with 5 pool
and somehow lose 2 before resolution, you'll still have to pay what you
can for the Submachine Gun and be ousted.

Is tapping Victim of Habit to remove only 2 cards possible because the
removing of three cards is an effect itself (of tapping the VoH), in
addition to being a cost (for burning 1 pool)?

You tap VoH "to" burn three copies of the card.

True enough.

Yes.

If it were just "remove three to cause pool loss", then you couldn't
do it without three.

OK, that's plausible. So likewise, another Methuselah can give you 1
pool (if they really want to) to tap Kingston Penitentiary, Ontario,
even if it is already tapped and they can't get a blood for it, right?
"Any other Methuselah may give you a pool during his or her untap phase
to tap this card to move 1 blood from the blood bank to a ready vampire
he or she controls."

Oh, and I forgot about this earlier, but I seem to remember that even
when it's not a cost, if an effect says to do something with exactly 3
cards, you can't do it to just 2. But this one I might just be
imagining.

Not quite. In-play effects also have to be able to be paid for. If
there was a card in play that says 'any vampire can remove this card as
a (D) action costing two blood', vampires with one blood could not
attempt that action even though it's not a card being played. But Vast
Wealth isn't being allowed because it's an in-play effect, but because
it's simply a zero-cost action that has an effect that makes you spend
pool (just as Summoning can).

(Plus following the same logic that lets you use Vast Wealth when there
are no equipment cards in your deck, or even no cards in your deck,
Vast Wealth doesn't consider what the cost of the card you might pull
is.)

Think of it this way: A minion can't take an action _he_ can't pay for.
But a minion doesn't pay pool, you the Methuselah does. If the action
requires blood, the minion checks to see if he can pay for it before
trying. If the action requires pool, the minion will happily pay use
your funds until you're dead, because that minion isn't paying anything
of his for the action.

Geez. That means that if I take an action via Vast Wealth to retrive a
gun (and I know there are some Magnums out there) with only 4 pool,
but the first weapon is an Assault Rifle, I don't get ousted since I
couldn't pay for that gun?

Interesting; I wasn't sure if that was the case or not as I couldn't
find this ruling someplace convenient (or at least not quickly.)

(Mainly because the Ruling is listed under 'Playing Cards' even though
it applies to taking cardless actions as well.)

no, quite the opposite : you spend as much pool as you can, and get
ousted, without putting the gun into play.

So the "you can't attempt what you can't pay for" general stance only
applies to (action?) cards you play, not in-play effects. So that's
why I get ousted in the Vast Wealth case - when I take that action,
I'm going for a 0-cost action originally, so I can pay for it, so I
can attempt it. That's it?

Not a great way to think about it, really.

If you can't pay the pool, the minion cannot attempt the action.

If you have 3 pool, your minion cannot attempt to recruit a
Renegade Garou (barring cost reducers, etc.).

If you have 5 pool, he can, and then when you pay it, you'll
be ousted.

In the case of Vast Wealth, the action costs nothing, so it
can be attempted no matter what amount of pool you have.

I think this confuses the issue a bit, since you might find equipment
which costs blood instead of pool.

I guess I'll stick to the idea that the Vast Wealth action per se does
not cost blood or pool, so you can attempt it (unless impeded by other
effects, such as XTC Laced Blood and such).

Expanding on the idea: suppose I play Vast Wealth on a minion who
cannot have equipment, for some obscure reason (like just cycling).
Say, Enkidu. He can't attempt to get a "normal" equipment, but he can
have and use loquipment. I know there's a Palatial Estate somewhere in
my library.

Can I use the Vast Wealth action to try to get it? Or Enkidu can't
even attempt it because it's an equip action, and up to that point, we
still can't say if he's attempting to equip with something he can have
or not?

Or is it simpler than that - you just do the action and if the
equipment turns to be a "normal" one, it's burned?

And in the latter case, do you get to pay for the equipment burned?

No, he can't; loquipment is only a location while in play. When not in
play, it's equipment. Compare and contrast to Jake Washington not being
a valid target for Compel the Spirit because, when not in play, he's a
master card.

(Also: if loquipment was not counted as equipment when not in play, Vast
Wealth would not be able to find it.)

He can't do it, because it's an equip action. See also Black Cat and
Vast Wealth.

In the case where Vast Wealth causes you to attempt to equip with
something that's not valid (Black Cat equipping with a Kali's Fang, for
instance), the equipment is burned and no cost is paid.

In general, you can oust yourself, so it's not that difficult a ruling
to infer anyway.

Additional corner-cases, such as someone offering to Life Boon you when
you do it, are also possible on top of this.

He is only prohibited from having equipment. He can equip with
a location just fine, since doing so never violates his prohibition.
And he can use Vast Wealth to get that location.

Isn't a location card that is not in play an equipment card, and
therefore equipment?

It seems that you state here:

That Beast cannot equip with loquipment. Am I reading it wrong?

Imagine Vast Wealth as saying:

Take a +1 stealth action. During the successful resolution of
that action, <do something> and roll a six-sided die. Burn pool
equal to the number that the die turns up.

You could take that action, even if you had one pool.

Since the equipment isn't specified when you take the action from Vast
Wealth, the action doesn't have a cost. It's simply that it instructs
you to pay the cost to equip as well.

However, he can use a Palatial Estate if it is moved to him.

A parallel ruling exists on Beast [LSJ 20010209]:

If he can get them, yes.

Nah. You have to get it in play first. Beast cannot attempt to
get it into play since he cannot have it (the equipment card).

That overturns the ruling I just pointed to about Beast:
<http://groups-beta.google.com/group/rec.games.trading-cards.jyhad/msg/6
e2fe4398c07614f>

Specifically, it also cites that the current restriction on Beast
matches Beast's old restriction: "Beast cannot equip" because the
"cannot have equipment" notices that the card is an equipment card he
can't have, and doesn't notice that it will be a location when in play.

Same way as always: an ambiguous Disputed Territory. (The Succubus Club
option is not possible anymore, of course.)

# Loquipment may be put on any ready minion if moved in an ambiguous
fashion (by Disputed Territory, e.g.). If the new controller has no
minions, the locquipment is burned. (Note: currently all moves are
ambiguous - TOM). [RTR 19960112]

# Transferring Locquipment via Disputed Territory to the *same*
Methuselah that currently controls the locquipment results in no effect
- the locquipment cannot be moved to a different minion of the same
Methuselah. [LSJ 19971002]
