Bleeding Attack (Rogue Talent)

[IIXHiMXII]

Can this talent be used while making a nonlethal sneak attack and does it deal bleed damage (lethal/nonlethal?)

Thanks

Rules are unclear, but I would say you can't deal non-lethal bleeding damage.

Remember, to be able to deal non-lethal sneak attack damage you must you a weapon that deals only non-lethal damage. You can't use it with the -4 penalty to deal non-lethal sneak attack damage.

Bleeding Attack (Ex)
Benefit: A rogue with this ability can cause living opponents to bleed by hitting them with a sneak attack. This attack causes the target to take 1 additional point of damage each round for each die of the rogue's sneak attack (e.g., 4d6 equals 4 points of bleed). Bleeding creatures take that amount of damage every round at the start of each of their turns. The bleeding can be stopped by a DC 15 Heal check or the application of any effect that heals hit point damage.

Special: Bleeding damage from this ability does not stack with itself. Bleeding damage bypasses any damage reduction the creature might possess.
