You've learned how strike at major arteries in order to make your opponents bleed.
When attacking with a piercing or slashing type weapon, you can choose to inflict the bleeding status (listed below) on the target. If you do so, that attack's damage roll is calculated with a die one size smaller than listed on the weapon. For example, a sword or bow that does 1d8 slashing damage would do 1d6 slashing damage for that attack.
On a critical hit, the target takes bleeding damage immediately.
Bleeding. A creature afflicted with bleeding takes 1d6 damage at the beginning of each of its turns and has its movement speed reduced by 5 ft. A creature afflicted with bleeding can make a DC 13 Constitution saving throw at end of each of its turns to end the bleeding status, excluding the turn it received the bleeding status. Undead creatures and constructs are immune to bleeding.
