Name: Whispers of the Chamber
Type: Reaction
Card Text:
Only usable during a action against you (or a card you control).
Requires a vampire with at least 3 capacity.
This minion untaps and attempts to block with an optional press.
As above, with +1 intercept.
Art notes:
Perched gargoyle in the shadow seen from behind.
The gargoyle is obviously focussing on something.
World of Darkness reference:
Whispers of the Chamber is a minor Visceratika power, took some artistic liberty in game effect for VTES.

How does this card address a compelling game need?:
I feel Gargoyles should be masters of protecting their haven and kine, so this builds on the concept of "second tradition: Domain" and "Eyes of Argus", two cards unavailable to Gargoyles, but a right fit. The minimum requirement of 2 capacity is to make this card unavailable to Tupdogs, ommit it if you feel it's not a huge hit on balance. Perhaps boost intercept to +2, not sure, if considered, that could be tested during play testing.
Changes:
V2 - Changed wording:
Only usable during a action directed at you, your minion(s) or your location(s)against you (or a card you control).
Requires a vampire with at least 23 capacity.

Love it.
I'd go as far as "only use able during a d action"
They have 2 reactions for vis, one flight that are playable. This becomes "good" with bat attached. They're still gargoyles. They need this. Id go "requires vampire with capacity 3 or more" to keep bugs out of the club, but not Erinyi.
Good for Indy. Doesn't help tupdog.

An action that targets "you" includes all the cards you control.
I suppose that you want to restrict it so it doesn't work against a Path for instance, or a Constant Revolution, but it would work if someone wanted to look at your hand.
I don't think there's an easy wording for this, so I'd just stick to "a action against you (or a card you control)", the part between parenthesis being a reminder.
