Auto vs Manual Mode

Auto Mode (default): When the affected creature's turn begins, Bleeding damage is applied automatically. No Director action is required.

Manual Mode: A reminder chat message appears at turn start with a button the Director clicks to apply the damage. Useful if you prefer explicit confirmation before damage lands.

Set the mode in the Conditions settings submenu.

Stacking

Multiple Bleeding effects from different sources stack. Each source has its own damage value and duration. They are tracked as separate active effects on the actor.

Removal

Bleeding is removed when:

• The duration expires.
• The creature takes a respite (if duration is set to Respite).
• The Director manually removes the effect.

Settings

Setting	What It Does
Enable Conditions System	Master toggle; disables Bleeding if off
Bleeding Effect Icon	Icon used for the Bleeding active effect; change with the file picker
Bleeding Mode	Auto (applies automatically) or Manual (requires a button click)

Notes

• Bleeding damage is untyped by default in Draw Steel.
• Auto mode requires an active combat. Outside of combat, no turn-start trigger fires.
