Pathfinder's Gunslinger (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/classes/base-classes/gunslinger) has an ability called Bleeding Wound, which deals bleed damage. My question is, does the victim continue to take the amount of extra damage from Bleeding Wound each round (the Gunslinger's Dexterity modifier in damage, or 1 point of Str/Dex/Con damage), or do they continue to take 1 point of hp damage each round?

The bleed (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/gamemastering/conditions#TOC-Bleed) condition says they take the stated amount of damage each round, whether HP or ability damage.
So the Gunslinger's victim take 1 ability score damage or the Gunslinger in question's Dex mod in damage each round.

I see. That explains it then. Thanks! Reason I was confused was that it had been specified as bleed damage, but the bleed damage linked to this (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/all-spells/b/bleed) instead.

Yeah, I noticed that too. They should probably fix that.

It's either sloppy page entry, or they have a Macro that "auto links" things when they match a different page name.
In this case (assuming it's a Macro), the program saw "Bleed" and linked to the spell, instead of seeing "Bleed Damage" and linking to the Bleed Sub-entry of Damage (or combat, or whatever page it is really on).
