Hanging Fermata

An office luncheon will limit my blogging today.  Yet while I feed my face, I must also feed the beast, so I offer you hungry lions this impenetrably strange ... whatever it is.  I'm so not conversant in this language; I cannot even tell if it is a parody, and if so, of what.  Anyway, here's a teaser paragraph.
The first option may not be the best option, but it does allow aggressive Choir players to increase the bang for the buck.  Because vampires cannot repeat actions, the daughters can only play one choir during a turn.  If one only has 3-4 daughters in play, a successful Choir can only bleed for 4-6 pool in a turn, which is less than if they were to successfully bleed with a presence bleed modifier.  With Hanging Fermata, a successful Choir of 3-4 vampires can do 10-14 damage, if each vampire does an inferior Choir the first turn and all but one does an inferior Choir the next with the last vampire performing a superior Choir.  However, by using this option, the player is deciding that it is worth a master phase action to do an additional 2 pool damage.  Without the Hanging Fermata, a player could do 4-6 pool damage the first turn with 2-3 inferior and one superior, and then the next turn do another 4-6 pool damage with 2-3 inferior and one superior, for a total of 8-12 pool damage in two turns versus the 10-14 damage using the Hanging Fermata.
Okay, so if you google "hanging fermata" you get more links.  I really don't have the heart for this.  You go research it if you want.
