Bounce Alternative

Starting point for an alternative to bounce which introduces a new dynamic to cool down big bleeds. Wording needs work.

[Reaction]
Only usable when resolving a bleed against you.
[inferior] You're predator takes half the bleed (round up). You take half the bleed (round down).
[superior] You're prey takes half the bleed (round down). You take half the bleed (round up).

I'm liking this! Very neat idea.

Any mechanic where your prey takes damage and his only possible defense is to play DI strikes me as very dangerous. Any such card arguably needs some sort of cancel option. Maybe something along the lines of "your prey may tap a vampire to cancel this card as it is played" at superior.

I think it's too strong.

Telepathic counter
Inf -1
Sup -2

A bleed of 3 at inf would be reduced by 2.
The interior text definitely has to be: predator (round down) you (round up)
As well.

Otherwise, at whatever discipline this card comes into play (can it be potence?) I'd just abuse the hell out of inferior. You don't have to tap for it and it doesn't cost blood. It's the ideal companion to poison pill and touch of pain.

What about blocks? Can your predator block his own vampire that's now bleeding him for 4 (7 half rd up) ? Can your prey block half of the bleed?

If they do, does it void the damage you would take?

YOUR, not you're (=You are...)

Yeah; that's pretty bad. Was in rush, just wanted to get idea out there.

Your right, such mistakes shouldnt be tolerated thorough.
