Infecting an Heir does 2 melee damage, then, if the damagee was a Character card, "that target" does a bunch more damage. In our game, we had a situation come up where the 2 damage from IaH incapacitated a Hero Character. Does that Character still do damage, even though it in no longer a "target"?
The Character would stop dealing damage as soon as they were incapped, just like a target would stop dealing damage when destroyed.
We had a game where the infected target was Greazer's hair, his vampiric hair then went on a rampage.
But his hair isn't a Character card?
You should play a game against Kismet with teh Vampires around, that Talisman sure gets crazy!
Guess we missed that part, still the story of the vampiric pompadour will live on in our hearts.
That one-shot where Greazer got too close to Wager Master and his hair became sentient, that was a great one.
