[QUOTE="Rube, post: 1400714, member: 6696"] [b]No, we should not have this rule[/b] Well, I'm a member of Arravis's party (and his fiancee), and also part-time DM, and I think that a "bleeding" rule is a bad idea. Firstly, it would be pure hell trying to keep track of which monster has been bleeding for how long. I am not a mathematician or an accountant and I don't pretend to be, and I know that when I DM I'm more concerned with spinning a good story for all to enjoy than counting beans. Secondly, implementing such a thing would open a pandora's box of other headaches because now you'd have to burden yourself with hit locations and "how much damage causes how much bleeding" arguments.
