Bleed vs. Fast Healing (Ex)


Rules Questions


Would someone kindly explain this to me?

I had the impression that Fast Healing would immediately rid a creature the Bleed condition on any creature that possesses both, after Fast Healing has healed any amount of health.

It seems I'm actually mistaken: Only a Spell that heals actually eliminates the Bleed condition.

...I have several plans that use Fast Healing. And I can't seem to find any rule that states Natural Healing stops Bleed effects...

...So, May I have clarification on the following questions:

1) Is a character or creature able to wound themselves to such an extent, that it is deemed justifiable that they take Bleed damage?

2) If so, or if the character/creature receives Bleed damage from an alternate source, would Fast Healing 2 (EX) granted by a Minor Positive-Dominant plane cause it to clot, and cease?

I remember back in the 3.0 days they had that module that went into 17-20+ territory. Bastion of Broken Souls.

In that module, you visit the positive energy plane, and I think some of the creatures there have some kind of device, or maybe you get some kind of device first that basically gives you constant damage while you're there, maybe it was bleed, in order to counteract the effect from the plane.

Not sure if that helps. In anycase, I'd say no it doesn't. (2)

You are actually not mistaken...

Here's James Jacobs: On bleed

I love you.

*cough*...errr... Thank you, Mighty Stynkk, for your devious researching skills and/or awesomely useful memory!

...I guess, since Create Demiplane is in fact a spell, in the first place, I might have that to justify, Just in case, as well.

I'd like to think of it as a blend of the two. A little bit of column A and a little more of column B.
