Blood Brother Ambush

Only usable when an action is blocked.
Combat does not occur. Put this card into play. While in play, this card represents an ally with 3 life and 2 strength who can strike for 2R damage; this ally enters combat with the blocking minion. Blood Brother Ambush may play cards requiring basic Potence p as a vampire with a capacity of 3. If a card would give them blood, give them life instead. Burn this card at the end of combat or if the combat is canceled.

Rulings

Can be used by a Brujah Antitribu taking an action while in torpor. If this happens, the blocker loses the opportunity to commit diablerie.
No other modifier can be played afterwards, combat begins immediately.
The vampire playing it is not considered having burned a minion (eg. for Taking the Skin: Minion), but the opponent is.
Does not stack with similar effects (or another copy of itself) to provide superior version of the discipline(s) (e.g. Leech and Putrescent Servitude together does not provide superior P)
Multiple similar effects (e.g. two Infernal Familiar, or Ian Forestal with an Infernal Familiar) cannot be used to meet the requirements of a multi-Discipline card that the minion is missing one or more Disciplines to play.
While using their ability to meet a discipline requirement, they also meet that requirement for any other cards associated with the original effect (e.g. meeting the i requirement for Pack Alpha or Muricia's Call also meets the i requirement for the Raven Spy employed by that effect).
