Bleeding Wounds and Spellcasters

[Deadguy]

Reading this thread about Arterial Strike got me thinking about the effects of bleeding wounds on spellcasters. Strictly, of course, damage occurs at the same point in the rounds as it was inflicted. Naturally, it's often easier to simply get the player to mark off a hit point when their turn comes up.

But does bleeding count as continuous damage for the purposes of hampering a spellcaster?

Sure! But the Concentration DC is 10 + 1/2 continuous damage... rounded down. Should be pretty easy for a caster to work though the pain.
