Would be useful for many Giovanni/Harbingers/Samedi. Somewhat of a Ghost-eater meets Succulent Vitea .
Necromancy required to get at the soul beyond (or within) the blood; Fortitude for efficiency (in the sense of Restoration ).

Sipping the soul
:modifier:
Necromancy/Fortitude

:for: :nec: Only usable when a hunt action is successful. Place this card on this acting vampire. When this vampire plays a card that requires Necromancy or Thanatosis, they may burn this card to reduce the cost of that card by 1 blood.
:FOR: :nec: As above, and gain an additional blood from this hunt action.
:FOR: :NEC: As above, but play during the hunt action for +1 stealth.

Flavour text
"Think thee laid on thy death-bed, loose and slack,
And think that but unbinding of a pack,
To take one precious thing, thy soul, from thence.
Think thyself parch'd with fever's violence; "
(John Donne, 1572–1631, "Of the Progress of the Soul: The Second Anniversary")

Art notes
Open to suggestions on this one... a hospital ward?

World of Darkness reference
None.

How does this card address a compelling game need?
Improves hunting and lowers Necromancy/Thanatosis card costs for Samedi and Harbingers, who do not (currently) have a path.

I see no point of making it requiring two disciplines. To make it streamlined I propose that it requires only necromancy and work only on necromancy cards. Apart from those, nice, medium power card. Good enough to put into some decks.

Hi Alek,

Well, it was primarily to help Harbingers/Samedi with Necromancy/Thanatosis costs, so I feel that I'd have to stick to my guns on that point. How about adding basic Obfuscate instead?

Necromancy/Obfuscate

:nec: Only usable when a hunt action is successful. Place this card on this acting vampire. When this vampire plays a card that requires Necromancy or Thanatosis, they may burn this card to reduce the cost of that card by 1 blood.
:NEC: As above, and gain an additional blood from this hunt action.
:NEC: :obf: As above, but play during the hunt action for +1 stealth.

still, I think this additional discipline requirement is not needed. I would keep it only NEC. If you want it to help thanathosis as well it's fine but a little weird that card that needs one discpilpine to play is working on other discipline. Or you can make it even better and simpler at the same time:

nec:Only usable when a hunt action is successful. Place this card on this acting vampire. When this vampire plays a card he may burn this card to reduce the cost of that card by 1 blood.

NEC: As above, and gain an additional blood from this hunt action.
