No Repeat Actions, 1 bleed & 1 vote per minion per turn.
The Fida'i would have to hunt, or something else besides bleed, in
order to Force of Will bleed.
Also, unless you have another action to do, a Fida'i that hunts does
not burn from inferior FoW + DtD. A minion w/ 3 blood does not burn
from 4 agg. It still survives, empty, but alive and not in torpor.
Might be useful to swap out all those Speed of Thoughts for Black
Sunrises then.
However, if you FOR master + Agent of Power, you can use both FoW +
DtD at superior, leaving only 2 agg damage at the end of a 3 bleed.
Fida'i comes out, AoP trifle, FOR master, taps to hunt, FoW + DtD,
goes to torpor w/ 2 blood left over. What to do with that 2 blood left
over? Dunno, Carver's Meat Package & Storage?
