Question about Vampires Ability

Angela's text reads: "Once each time Angelica attempts to block, you may burn X master cards from your hand to give her +X intercept" so can I add master cards for intercept as they add stealth? If not then her ability isn't that good because I can play out more intercept then needed when she is blocking. please clarify. TigersClaw

[ quoted text not captured ] Once during an action when Angelica attempts to block you may burn any number of master cards from your hand. Angelica gets +X intercept where X is the number of master cards you burned. You can only do this when Angelica is attempting to block (card text) and only if Angelica's current intercept is less than the acting minion's stealth (standard rules). You can do it only once per action. You can do it at any time during the action. -- L. Scott Johnson (vte...@wizards.com) Official VtES Net.Rep for Wizards of the Coast.

If the acting minion has +1 stealth, is Angelica restricted to burning just 1 master card for +1 intercept? Or can Angelica's controler throw down a handful of Masters for +7 intercept? The reason I ask is that I know that the blocking minion cannot use several cards to grant more intercept than stealth (eg, you cannot throw down Enhanced Senses and Spirit's touch on a +1 stealth action). So can Angelica gain more intecept than the current stealth?

You add intercept only if you need it, but you are not limited to adding only the intercept you need (i.e., you can add more than you need). For instance, you can play superior Enhanced Senses when you only need one more intercept. And you can burn X masters for Angelica, where X can be more than the amount of intercept you need (so long as you need at least one). -- L.
