Arterial Strike and weapons of wounding

[IceBear]

I could see why someone might think they wouldn't stack with each other. The descriptions given implies that the rogue uses the weapon to strike a wound in a major artery to induce bleeding, so why would one blow cause two sets of wounds that bleed?

The others stack with themselves, because, in theory, you are creating new wounds with each hit.

Like I said, that's how I could see someone saying they don't stack. I would probably let them stack just because the damage from it isn't significant in most cases to make a difference in battle - most 3E battles tend to be over before someone bleeds to death.

That would be the key

Yep. I tend to rule in favor of the players whenever it doesn't matter.

You know, we've all been saying the bleeding damage just doesn't matter. However, would it count as continuing damage for the purposes of a concentration check? The difference between one and two points over several wounds could make the difference between a Concentration check of 20 and 25.

Yes it does count as continuing damage and does influence concentration checks.

This is why my character has these abilities. His original concept was that of a mage hunter.
