The bleed skill allows a vampire to drink the blood of its foes; the target
will lose both physical and mental energy, and the vampire will gain energy.
The bleed skill can only be used on targets who are not resisting. Once
you are bleeding a target, they cannot move until they successfully
break free, however the victim may still fight back or perform other
actions, albeit at a reduced rate of success.

For a vampire, with blood comes power.  As a vampire drinks from
his/her victim(s), he/she will gain some of the victim's abilities.
For example, drinking from a powerful barbarian would temporarily
enhance the vampire's strength.  Likewise, drinking from a mage
with a high intellect would increase the vampire's intelligence.
