How does this card work? It requires Auspex and reduces bleed by 1. It is a reaction card. My question is does this require an untapped vampire to play. If you are reducing a bleed instead of going to combat it doesn't make any sense that you would need a vampire unless you tap it after you play the card. I'm sure the answer is obvious but could someone help me out? Andy

Only untapped minions can play reaction cards. Playing a reaction card does not tap the reacting vampire. The vampire remains untapped after playing Telepathic Counter, and the bleed is reduced by 1 (or 2, superior). -- L.

It reduces a bleed against you by one (or two) in lieu of declaring a block. Also like all other reaction cards, TC does not tap the reacting vampire unless is specifically states so (which it does not). The only reason you need a vampire to play the card is that only vampires have skills (with a few exceptions, but no allies can use auspex yet, as far as I know). -Dave Green
