Is that a legal move?... No. Action modifiers and reactions only affect the vampire using such a card unless the card says otherwise. Both of the cards you mention specifically say they affect "this vampire", meaning the vampire playing the card. See superior Cloak the Gathering for an example of a modifier which can be used on another minion. >Another thing the rulebook says is that combat actions go as follows: >acting minion, blocking minion, other players clockwise. > Does this sequence of play also apply to bleed actions? (i.e., can a >reaction card be played out of turn by a methuselah who is not directly >affected by the action?) It is possible for any Methuselah other than the acting player to play reactions, assuming the reaction card allows it. The defending player would get priority in playing reactions; priority for other players reacting should probably be that of the turn order, starting from the acting player.

Correct, but the original thread seemed to be asking about using reactions not relating to intercept. [ quoted text not captured ]
