Does Bleed Damage from Bleeding Attack multiply on crit?


Rules Questions


One of the players in my game plays a rogue and asked me if the bleed from the Bleeding Attack rogue talent would multiply on a crit. We're both aware that the sneak attack dmg itself would be unaffected, but my player argues that the bleed is triggered by the sneak attack, as opposed to being part of the SA itself.
I've tried looking over the rules, but as far as I can see, there's no clear statement over whether bleed damage gets multiplied on a crit in general. While the wounding enchantment and some other bleed effects specifically say they don't multiply on a crit, I can't find anything on whether other bleed effects would.
So I put it to this forum, are there instances where bleed dmg multiplies on a crit, and if so, would bleeding attack be one of those instances?

A creature that is taking bleed damage takes the listed amount of damage at the beginning of its turn.

Bleed is a condition, not extra damage on an attack. It's not possible to multiply bleed damage on a crit.
