You slash at vital points to make your target bleed.

Undead and constructs are immune to this technique.

For 2 Action Points, make a melee attack against a creature within reach. If the attack hits and deals damage, the target must make a Fortitude Save against a DC of 10 + half the damage it actually took (after Soak and Resistances).

On a failed save, the target takes 1d6 persistent bleed damage at the end of each of its turns. At the end of each of its turns, it can attempt a DC 15 flat check to end the bleeding, or it can spend 1 Action Point on its turn to end the condition instead.

Critical Failure: The target rolls the flat check twice and takes the lower result, and ending the bleeding by spending actions costs 2 Action Points instead of 1.

Push: You may take 1 Strain to use this technique for 1 Action Point instead of 2.
