So, is there any substance to a bleed build? I've looked at these forums for a while and haven't seen anyone mentioning one. Any thoughts or ideas which classes and items would best work for a character set around inflicting bleed damage?

Bleed damage doesn't stack with other bleed damage, so it's not really worth having multiple bleed-causing options in one build. Would be cool if it worked, though.

That would mainly be the problem, there are like two abilities which grant explicitly stacking bleed damage. Isn't there a way to cause ability score bleed though? That isn't mythic or called shots?

EDIT: Nevermind, just saw the "condition" page about stacking. Edited as such.

Regardless, which bleed abilities DO stack? Let's start there. lol.

The Wounding (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic-items/magic-weapons/magic-weapon-special-abilities/wounding) Weapon quality. Each hit is worth _1_ stacking Bleed damage.
It's not hard to figure out that this is still pretty worthless, as by the time the Bleed damage is "worthwhile" or even "noticable" your creature is likely dead from all the times you've already hit it > "10 Bleed Damage" means I've had to have whacked it at least 10 times already.

Other than that...I'm not really sure if anything can stack.

Whoot! Found one! Bleeding Critical (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/feats/combat-feats/bleeding-critical-combat-critical). That specifically says it stacks.

Anyone find anything else?

Don't forget to make your weapons from blood crystal. +1 damage on a bleeding target isn't big, but it goes with the theme, y'know?
