Splintering Weapon + Bone Shuriken vs. Bleeding Attack Ninja Trick

[Stockvillain]

So I've got me a stockpile of cheap bleed effects, right? As ammo, shuriken have a 50% chance of being destroyed when you use them, anywho. So, accepting the loss, suppose I get them made of bone [a material with the "fragile" quality], and then every time I score a hit, I elect to give them the broken condition and inflict me some bleed damage on my target. As shuriken are basically just vectors for sneak attack and poison, the -2 damage penalty from bone doesn't seem to matter that much.

The Bleeding Attack trick requires me to hit with a sneak attack, whereas the Splintering Weapon merely requires that I score a hit. BA scales with my sneak attack dice, but the duration is tied to the dice, too. SW deals a flat 1d4hp bleed effect, with no limit to the duration.

While I can stack the SW bleed on top of any sneak attack effect [Pressure Points, for example], BA is the only sneak attack effect that can be applied to a given attack.

Both abilities can be picked up at 2nd level for the ninja; one is a ninja trick, the other is a feat.

Thanks in advance for your input!

I'm sorry what was the question?

Sorry about that; on pain meds right now . . .

Anywho, was curious about what folks thought was the better option; using the Splintering Weapon feat with a supply of bone weapons [shuriken, in this case] or going with the ninja Bleeding Attack trick, and why they prefer said option.

Both -- use the sneak attack if you can and the splintering weapon if you can't.

My ninja's gonna leave a lot of gooey messes in his wake . . . not very stealthy, but great for intimidation!
