Blood Farm
Action
Choose a non-monster mortal ally or a vampire capacity less than 3. Put the target of this card out of play and this card on the acting vampire as a Location: Hunting Ground. Each untap phase this vampire may gain blood equal to 1 or half the minion's capacity or life (whichever is more). Return the minion if this location leaves play.

This might be a tad on the broken side.
The only way I see (maybe) this working is if it removes one of your own minions from the game, instead of any.
[edit]
Alternatively, you can put a number of counters equal to the capacity and take one counter from the card to the vampire, each turn. When there are no counters, burn the card and return the vampire to its controller.
This wouldn't allow for the "remove target imbued from the game" effect.

it's still an action, and can be blocked.

By this reasoning anything can be made into a requirement-less action, as long as the action itself doesn't state that it is unblockable.
I like the effect, just think it's too powerful in the form OP suggested it.

i like the idea, but there is a few correction to adapt it to the world of darkness: there was not really blood farm in the world of darkness. there were a bunch of places where vampires could procure themselves blood easily but usually they did not kept them imprisoned. usually, ever they fed on them with subtility but left them alive (exemple during their sleep or when they were dizzy...) or if not they killed them usually. mybe the only exception is the malkavian who liked to feed on internated and alienated people as they knew no one would believe them, but even them were not breeding people to be food for vampires as it would have make a breach into the masquerade (and the sabbat vampire who did not cared as much for masquerade, does not care at all for human lifes so would not have let them alive when feeding from them).
two other exception (almost totally absent from the sabbat) to the hunt:
- the ghouls: were relying on vampires blood, but also were used for quick nap from times to times when their master had no time to hunt (and was usually quite "expendables" in case the vampire drank too much).
- the herd: was more like a group of people from who the vampire could eat and sometimes get temporary accomodation. (various girlfriends not knowing each other, sex club members, association members, family members, families of friends or accointances...)
so i would suggest the following action:
gathering his herd.
+ 1 stealth action. only usable by a non sabbat vampire. unique.
put this card on the acting vampire, he gets an additionnal +1 stealth on hunt actions and gains an additionnal blood if successful. if this vampire attempts to hunt and is not successful, burn that card.
burn this card, if at any time, you don t control at least one ghoul or one mortal ready minion.

Realized that there is in fact a card whose thema is very close: blood puppy..
you invest time and pool and you hope to get it back or a return at the end...
ok it s a master and nor an ally or an action but it has a big part of the game thema about the herd (on a methuselah level...)
