The action is unsuccessful (and thus, the acting vampire is not burned). Precedent ruling made for Freak Drive [RTR 950530]: 2) Superior Freak Drive would be used at the same time as Cat's Guidance or Change of Target. Freak Drive at its normal level is only used when it is clear that the action is successful, i.e., once everyone has finished playing action modifiers and reactions. Special Note: If a bleed action winds up bleeding for 0, the action is not considered successful. Thus it is possible for Telepathic Counter to stop Freak Drive from being used on an action. -- L.

So, likewise, you wouldn't have to pay for a GtU if the bleed was reduced to zero, either. Which probably isn't right. I'll check if the Rules Team wants to rethink the unsuccessful bleed = unsuccessful action stance. [ quoted text not captured ]
