You can bleed your prey with a bleed action even if she wasn't your prey at the start of the turn, yes. -- LSJ (vte...@white-wolf.com) V:TES Net.Rep for White Wolf, Inc.

Dragos may prevent 1 point of damage with Hidden Strength, because his X is equal to zero. Dragos may pay blood to prevent more damage just like any other vampire. Carpe Noctem.

[LSJ 19970224] and isn't Dragos's ability: "Dragos does not have to burn blood to pay the cost of combat cards he plays" Therefore isn't LSJ's initial answer correct?

The X is in the drop of blood on the side of the card, therefore it is a cost. Dragos can choose X to be 10e100 and still pay zero blood, preventing up to 10e100 + 1 damage. Hidden Strength does *not* give the effect "the vampire may burn X to prevent X more damage" (contrast superior Lightning Reflexes). [ quoted text not captured ]
