Bleeding


Rules Questions


Hey,

I was just wondering, when using the gunslinger deed "Bleeding Wound" to deal bleed damage to an opponent will you only be able to inflict bleed damage on them once? That is to say if I deal, over 5 attacks, 45 points of bleed damage there will be no point in applying bleeding wound to the same target given that the bleed damage I deal will be always the same if not less?


RAW, as long as you have the grit to spare, you can cause it with every shot in a full round as long as you have the grit to burn. Plus, unlike the rogue talent entry, it does not specify it only happens once per round or that it does not stack with itself. This may be faq'ed and I just haven't seen it yet.

Actually, check the entry for bleeding in the "Conditions" section.

Bleed effects do not stack with each other unless they deal different kinds of damage.


That's what I was missing. Thank you! :-D


So does that mean that a Bleeding Wounds shot, over 5 attacks at DEXMOD 10, would deal 50 points of HP bleed, followed by the second round of 5 attacks where you could deal 1 point of STR, DEX, and CON damage (over 3/5 attacks) and the remainder doing nothing?

What I'm getting to is that Bleeding Wound becomes extremely limited in it's use after the first full-attack. Given that your "bleed damage" is only different in the sense that you deal X amount of HP bleed and 1point each to STR, DEX, and CON, no more, no less. Does this sound correct?


After re-familiarizing myself with bleed rules: The first shot gets the 10 bleed, the second gets the ability bleed, and that's it. Until the affected creature stops the bleeding, you are done causing bleed damage.
