So more practical kindred don't go on a glut leaving trail of bodies behind but only drink so much that the doner is left alive. And can be later on reused.

It is, but, most kindred don't care that much about obeying every tenet. Camarilla vamps just do care about covering it up, others less so. But nearly every vampire kills during hunt from time to time.

Sabbat.Black Hand Shakar: Lech loathe ranged weapons. Once each action, he may burn 1 blood to become Camarilla Prince of Krakow until the end of the action.

Based on what the Eyes of the Dead ritual did in the original roleplaying game, I would rewrite it like this:

Eyes of the Dead
Combat / Reaction
Only useable if you control a wraith ally or retainer.
The opposing minion's controller plays with an open hand for the remainder of combat. Only one Eyes of the Dead may be played per combat.
+2 intercept.

Another idea might be this:
Eyes of the Dead
Reaction
Only useable during an action to commit diablerie or enter combat with an ally.
+1 intercept. This reacting vampire attempts to block the current action, ignoring the normal prey, predator or target restrictions for blocking actions. Useable by an tapped vampire to untap and attempt to block.
As above, except with +2 intercept.

I thought we were talking about errata here, not making a totally new card.

Proposed card text for eyes of the dead

Only usable during a D action against a vampire in torpor

:nec:

For the duration of this action, any ready vampire (minion maybe?) may attempt to block with +1 intercept ignoring the usual predator/prey relationship restriction.
:NEC:

As above, but with +2 intercept.

note that it now gives a temporary "eagle sight" to any potential blocker, and that it also trumps graverobbing or josette's special.

In playability this reminds me Abandoning The Flesh for Dementation. I have tried having 1 or 2 in S&B deck for quite a while, but I played it only once ever, due to relying someone wanting do diablerize you (and being reaction/combatmeans, that you can't trigger it by yourself). Same cons apply here, making it just as much unplayable.

Abandoning the Flesh

[Reaction] Reaction
[Combat] Combat

[Dementation] Dementation

Only usable by a vampire being burned. Usable by a vampire in torpor.
[dem] Remove this vampire from the game instead (diablerie, if any, is still successful), and put this card into play. You may not play this card if you already have an Abandoning the Flesh in play. You may tap this card when a vampire with Dementation [dem] is bleeding to give that vampire +1 bleed for the current action.
