Question 1) Say I'm attacking with Sisters of Stone Death and my opponent decides not to declare blockers. Can I in response to my opponent not declaring blockers use the sister's first ability to force one of his creatures to block? Or do I have to activate the ability before/during the declare blockers step?
Question 2) same situation as question 1, but after I force one creature to block, can my opponent then decide to assign multiple blockers instead or is the declare blockers step already over since my opponent declined to declare them in the first place?
1. A blocking requirement such as the one created by Sisters of Stone Death's ability only has any effect during the turn-based action of declaring blockers, and that only happens once per combat (this is the first thing that happens during the Declare Blockers step.) Creating a blocking requirement after blockers have been declared does nothing.
2. The question as asked doesn't really apply since you can't do what you asked in question 1, but to answer the next closest question: If you create a blocking requirement before the Declare Blockers step and your opponent blocks with the creature that has to, nothing stops them from also blocking with more creatures.
Basically, there's no way (without outside help) to force exactly one creature to block Sisters.
