[[Bleeding]] occurs when blood escapes from the body's circulatory system, usually through damaged blood vessels. It commonly accompanies chopping, sharp-force wounds, and other physical injuries, but it can also be caused by creatures that feed on blood or by effects that interfere with the body's ability to control bleeding.

The severity of the condition depends on how much blood is lost and how quickly it happens. Minor bleeding may stop naturally, while severe or persistent bleeding can deprive the body and brain of the blood they need to function. [[Un]]less the bleeding is controlled, the victim may progress from weakness and dizziness to unconsciousness and, ultimately, death.

== [[Bleeding]] Causes ==

[[Bleeding]] most often results from physical injury, but it may also arise from biological, chemical, magical, or supernatural sources. Some attacks cause wounds that continue bleeding after the initial injury; others specifically draw blood or prevent the body from clotting.

Examples include:

* Chopping and sharp-force wounds
* Vampiric creatures and other blood-draining predators
* Animal attacks that tear tissue or damage blood vessels
* Effects of certain poisons and diseases
* Wards and magical traps
* Curses
* Magical spells
* Archetypal powers
* Other effects that prevent clotting or cause blood to escape the body

== [[Bleeding]] Effects ==

[[Bleeding]] does not, by itself, restrict the sufferer from taking part in combat activity. Neither movement nor attacks are affected in any way.

[[Bleeding]] can cause progressive weakness as the victim loses blood. Early effects may include dizziness, fatigue, reduced strength, and impaired cognitive abilities as the body struggles to maintain adequate circulation. More severe blood loss can cause confusion, fainting, and an inability to remain upright or perform strenuous actions.

The consequences depend on the rate and duration of blood loss. A victim who appears capable of continuing a fight may deteriorate rapidly if a serious wound remains untreated. Continued bleeding can eventually lead to unconsciousness and death.

== Removing the [[Bleeding]] Condition ==

Removing [[Bleeding]] requires stopping or controlling the loss of blood. Restoring [[Body]] Points alone may not resolve the condition if the wound or other cause continues to produce bleeding.

Possible methods include:

* Applying direct pressure to the wound
* Using bandages and suitable dressings to control bleeding
* Cauterization, where appropriate
* Treating the underlying injury
* Administering healing potions
* Applying magical healing
* Using archetypal powers that restore the body or control bleeding
* Employing magical artefacts that close wounds or prevent further blood loss
* Removing or countering a poison, curse, spell, or other source responsible for continued bleeding

Once the bleeding has stopped, the victim may still need rest and treatment to recover from the blood already lost.

== Long Term [[Bleeding]] Effects ==

Continued [[Bleeding]] progressively reduces the victim's ability to function. Dizziness and fatigue may develop into [[Dazed]], leaving the victim less capable of responding effectively. As blood loss worsens, the victim may become [[Prone]], faint, or eventually become [[Un]]conscious.

If the bleeding remains uncontrolled, the loss of blood will eventually become fatal, resulting in [[Dead]]. The condition therefore demands prompt attention: a victim who can still move or speak may nevertheless be in serious danger, and delaying treatment can turn a survivable wound into a fatal one.
