Either or.

In a turnover situation the turn doesn't end immediately either, just the action does. Then you resolve armor rolls, bouncing balls, etc. Then the turn ends.

It should be noted as well ... I also believe that successful Tentacles would not allow a Vampire to bite a Thrall and thus force him to leave the pitch. The logic is exactly the same as the logic I just stated above for Hypnotic Gaze.

Actually not

Byte is Mandatory at the end of the Action , Tentacles says it ends the Action
So again I agree to disagree

? Does Tentacles end the Action?
?Must you Bite at the end of the Action?

What are you saying exactly here?

If the Vampire can't move, it can't Gaze?
Do I have to roll a dodge to gaze, if adjacent to an opposing player that's not the target of the gaze?

(most importantly) Can I: 1. roll bloodlust when activating the vampire.
2. gaze the BON without moving.
3. feed(or not) on thralls.
4.move other players away from the BON without tentacles rolls if the gaze was successful.

Sorry if the questions seem redundant but I'm playing a Vampire team and I'd appreciate some clarification.
Apparently, my reading/understanding of the rule was inaccurate.
It reads to me as though the gaze happens after the move is over. Tentacles just ends the move sooner.

But I understand your logic. Tentacles cancels the move.
The vampire still has to bite an adjacent thrall though, right?
Or is it a turnover the moment you fail that Tentacle roll if you failed the bloodlust roll?

so just to be clear... If I blitz from a square with a tentacle.

1) I declare my Blitz
2) I try to move away but I'm tentacled => ends the move
3) can I still block the tentacle guy or did the tentacle actually KILLED my action.

Ends ACTION
Blitz Done, Cannot Move, Cannot throw "blitz" hit on tentacles guy

oddly enough
if you are in a chain push, you can get pushed to another square...

Agreed with you on the Fanatic ... I don't here.

The Bite is NOT mandatory. You are not forced to bite ... you either must bite or leave the pitch. NOTHING in the Blood Lust text says you MUST bite ... so there is no way to say it is mandatory.
Does Tentacles end the Action?
Yes.
?Must you Bite at the end of the Action?
Actually read Blood Lust again ... you must bite BEFORE your action fully ends (its says this twice in the skill description) .... if your action has ended you cannot bite. Otherwise if I failed a pick-up roll ... I could still bite to stay on the pitch ... and you cannot do this. Tentacles ends the Vampire's turn just as badly as failing a pick-up roll would.
Magic 8 Ball says ....
"all signs point to yes"
Your 8 Ball is broken IMO.

If the Vampire can't move, it can't Gaze?
Not totally true. The Vampire could Gaze someone next to him without moving and that would be fine. However if he tries to move and is held firm by Tentacles than he cannot Gaze as his action has ended.
Do I have to roll a dodge to gaze, if adjacent to an opposing player that's not the target of the gaze?
No
(most importantly) Can I: 1. roll bloodlust when activating the vampire.
Yes
2. gaze the BON without moving.
Yes
3. feed(or not) on thralls.
Yes
4.move other players away from the BON without tentacles rolls if the gaze was successful.
Yes
But I understand your logic. Tentacles cancels the move.

Correct ... if you failed a Blood Lust roll and then fail a Tentacles roll ... its a turnover and the Vampire leaves the pitch (just as if he had failed to pick up the ball after failing a Blood Lust roll.

Want another fun one with Vampires.

Let's say you a Vampire that for some very wierd reason you wanted to leave Prone on the pitch ... you can still Gaze adjacent opponents while Prone (same way that Distrubing Presence works while Prone).
