I'm running a TWF former member of the Red Mantis. I want to take Bloody Sabres(from Inner Sea Gods) because bleed damage is nice, and the feat really fits flavorwise. My question is two parts: Is it just one bleed for each pair of strikes I land, or is it one bleed for each attack, the way I feel it leans towards where it says "in addition to the normal damage dealt by these attacks"? And second, if I hit the same opponent with two sets of attacks in one turn, the bleed stacks, right?

Bleeding attack Rogue Talent - bleed doesn't stack
Bleeding critical fighter feat - bleed does stack
wounding weapon - bleed does stack
You would need to find similar language for the weapon/enchantment used, since there are various bleeds that do and don't stack. I don't know what "bloody sabre" you are talking about... as I don't own the ISGods book (yet?).
To answer the question:
Bleed: A creature that is taking bleed damage takes the listed amount of damage at the beginning of its turn. Bleeding can be stopped by a DC 15 Heal check or through the application of any spell that cures hit point damage (even if the bleed is ability damage). Some bleed effects cause ability damage or even ability drain. Bleed effects do not stack with each other unless they deal different kinds of damage. When two or more bleed effects deal the same kind of damage, take the worse effect. In this case, ability drain is worse than ability damage.
Unless they are different damage types or the ability has a "specific overrides general" clause, no, they don't stack.

Agreed : of course, as I pointed out "wounding" weapons stack bleed, and the fighter feat stacks it... from the same source... so find the verbiage regarding the weapon... otherwise, nopers. IF they stack, then yes, each separate attack stacks on more... (note - each attack is separated by another die roll to hit an AC, most "multi-shot" effects specifically say you don't apply special damage to the second "slice/arrow/whatever.")
Alright, that's what I was afraid of. Thanks guys!
