Anatomical Savant + Wounding Weapon


Rules Questions


Anatomical Savant:
You know how to perform deadly strikes against even the most nebulous of targets.

Prerequisites: Weapon Focus, base attack bonus +12.

Benefit: Choose one weapon with which you have the Weapon Focus feat. When you strike an opponent that has a chance of negating critical hits or sneak attacks, such as from the fortification armor special ability, reduce that chance by 25%. Treat creatures that are normally immune to critical hits and sneak attacks as instead having a 75% chance to negate the critical hit or sneak attack, taking only the attack’s normal damage.

Special: You can take this feat multiple times. Each time you take the feat, it applies to a different weapon.

Wounding:
This special ability can only be placed on melee weapons. A wounding weapon deals 1 point of bleed damage when it hits a creature. Multiple hits from a wounding weapon increase the bleed damage. Bleeding creatures take the bleed damage at the start of their turns. Bleeding can be stopped by a successful DC 15 Heal check or through the application of any spell that cures hit point damage. A critical hit does not multiply the bleed damage. Creatures immune to critical hits are immune to the bleed damage dealt by this weapon.

The feat never outright says that it works for ciritical hits and sneak attacks only. Could you thus deal bleed damage with a wounding weapon to a creature normally immune to critical hits, provided it isn't immune to bleed damage and that you use the chosen weapon?


On the one hand I'd say no because they are still technically immune to the critical hit, but on the other hand the feat gives you a chance to critical. I'm not really sure either way.
