Suffering bleed damage while dying?

[Todd Johnson]

Okay, I actually ended up stumped looking for the answer to this one:

Bleed damage: saps your PC of X or XdX of damage each round.

Dying: Reaching -1 hit points puts you at the Dying condition, and you lose 1 hit point per round until you reach -CON (Dead).

What if you reach negative hit points while suffering a bleed effect? Do you only bleed the 1 hit point per round once you fall unconscious, or... do you continue to bleed at the rate of your bleed damage? or... do you bleed both the bleed damage AND the 1 hit point per round until you croak?

As written, the conditions stack. The Dying (N)PC takes 1 point of damage per round, in addition to the current Bleed damage.

Which makes Bleed a very dangerous effect, indeed.
