+A creature afflicted with **Bleed** is suffering from deep, worsening wounds that build toward catastrophic blood loss.
+
+Certain attacks/weapons apply a certain amount of **Bleed Buildup**.
+- Bleed Buildup is tracked as a numeric value.
+- By default, all creatures have a **Bleed Threshold equal to 25% of their Maximum HP** (rounded down).
+- When Bleed Buildup reaches or exceeds this threshold, **Bleed triggers**.
+Bleed Buildup has **no effect** until the threshold is reached.
+
+**When Bleed triggers:**
+- The creature immediately takes **15% of their Maximum HP** as **true damage**
+    - This damage **ignores armor, resistances, and damage reduction**
+- All Bleed Buildup on the creature is **reset to 0**
+
+After Bleed triggers, the creature gains **Bleed-Exhausted** for **2 rounds**.
+
+**While Bleed-Exhausted:**
+- The creature **cannot gain Bleed Buildup**
+- Any effects that would apply Bleed Buildup during this time are ignored
+This prevents immediate re-triggering.
+
+If a creature does not gain Bleed Buildup for **1 full round**:
+- Bleed Buildup is reduced by **20% of the Bleed Threshold** at the end of that round
+Bleed Buildup can never drop below 0.
