Opportunistic Embrace
Action, 3 Blood
Requires a non-sterile vampire.
Choose a ghoul or mortal ally and put this card on it. This action is
at +1 stealth if you control the ally. The ally with this card is a
vampire of the same clan as the acting vampire with a capacity equal
to the ally's starting life total, and retains all special abilities,
but may not possess Conviction cards. The acting vampire gets +1
stealth on (D) actions against the vampire with this card. If a non-
titled vampire takes this action, call a single bloodhunt referendum
to burn both the acting vampire and the targetted ally.

Only works on mortals and ghouls, so no issues with fancy stuff (other than
gregory winter?).
no mention of life or blood - it has neither, i guess. but agreed it could
do better with being explicit about what happens.
and benefits over regular embrace: kill someone else's ally, and start with
capacity potentially greater than 1.
