If I hit with several Deadly Stroke attacks does the Con-bleed stack? I have read that people assume that you can stack it but I have yet to find an official ruling on the matter. Does anyone know?
With a well-placed strike, you can bring a swift and painful end to most foes.
Prerequisites: Dazzling Display, Greater Weapon Focus, Shatter Defenses, Weapon Focus, proficiency with the selected weapon, base attack bonus +11.
Benefit: As a standard action, make a single attack with the weapon for which you have Greater Weapon Focus against a stunned or flat-footed opponent. If you hit, you deal double the normal damage and the target takes 1 point of Constitution bleed (see Conditions). The additional damage and bleed is not multiplied on a critical hit.

You can't stack the same bleed effect, for instance:
There's a demon (forgot his name), uses two handed fighting, one sword deals 2 bleed (hp), the other deals 1 bleed(hp). If he hits with both swords, the higher effect (the 2 bleed) is the one taking effect, being the stronger of the two. However, you can stack different bleed EFFECTS, for instance, you can do constitution bleed, hp bleed, anything else bleeds, but no two of the same kind.
For example, if two fighters strike the same opponent for the SAME bleed effect (let's say constitution in this case), only the higher one will take effect, but two different bleed effects, and they both take place (like hp AND constitution).

Thanks for the response. I am aware of the fact that in most cases the bleeding doesn't stack but there clearly are exceptions.
The reason I ask is that there are some effects that do in fact stack with itself, like the magic weapon property Wounding.
That and some other creature that I can't remember what it was called are the only exceptions to the rule I can think of but there are some out there.
