There is a lot of disagreement about how to properly handle this and we could use some insight.
The 2-handed weapon fighter rolled a natural 20 and confirmed the critical with a 18. He has critical focus, disarming strike, and bleeding critical.
His confirmation disarms the big bad (via disarming strike) but does the critical also confer 2d6 bleed (via bleeding critical) and the 2x damage (falchion)?
Or is Disarming strike considered a critical feat and thus unable to stack with Bleeding critical?
Also If you apply the 2d6 bleed do you also apply the 2x damage associated with a normal critical?
Disarming Strike only disarms the opponent if the confirmation roll exceeds the targets CMD. The target would suffer 2D6 Bleed and the damage multiplied by the weapon used as long as the critical threat is confirmed.

Disarming Strike isn't labeled as a critical feat so I don't see why there'd be a conflict.
Also If you apply the 2d6 bleed do you also apply the 2x damage associated with a normal critical?
Bleeding Critical says its effects are 'in addition to the damage dealt by the critical hit' so yeah.

This was what many of the players were saying but I think the Dm just got overwhelmed by a slew of new feats and abilities. Thanks!
