Question about the Loppers Bleed Damage

[Welsh Knight]

Hi
Does the Lopper's bleed damage continue to cause 1d6 damage per round until healed and does it then continue to heal the Lopper?

Thanks

That is exactly how I ran it two weeks ago.

Yes, bleed damage continues until the person is stabilized with a DC 15 heal check or has a healing spell cast on them. Bleed is under Conditions in the CRB page 565.

The bleed damage continues on any character he successfully hits, but I think he only regenerates HP on the round he actually lands the attack. Under his tactics in his stat block, it says that he moves from victim to victim, striking as many as he can since he can only gain 1d6 points of healing per victim.

However...when I ran that combat, I did have the bleed damage continue to heal him every round, even after the initial attack. My group consists of 6 players so that alone makes things a little easier, plus the barbarian was using the Lopper's handaxe against him for pretty massive points of damage, and I was trying to draw the battle out. It never put my party in significant danger to do it this way, so I would say you could run it either way depending on the party setup and their resources.

Thanks everyone, I can see me using Maggiethecat's option, I have 7 characters and 3 of them are fighters and most will have a magic weapon and prob the Loppers axe aswell!

The way I read it is that he gets 1d6 HP back per bleeding character every round, not just on the first round. He tries to hit multiple targets with bleed so that he can get 1d6 HP from each of them. He can't get more than 1d6 back per round per PC, even if he hits one PC multiple times.

He's a nasty guy.
