(5.24 PBP) Vault Redux (OOC) Fitz's Refresher

[Hriston]

So everyone on team fusion has aid? How many temp hp is that?

Terrin cast aid on team infiltrate during the battle with the cultists and mercenaries. Another casting wouldn't stack, would it?

 

[Leatherhead]

I think It's just the highest hp bonus that sticks.

 

[FitzTheRuke]

I don't think anyone upcast it, so 5 HP for, I think everyone.

 

[Lidgar]

Aid increases your hp maximum for an 8 hr period. So not temp hp, but your max hp’s increase by 5. That means after a short rest, you can max your hp out, plus add 5 more if you spend enough HD.

 

[Hriston]

I don't think anyone upcast it, so 5 HP for, I think everyone.

So even though Team Infiltrate were already benefitting from an earlier casting of aid, they regain another 5 hit points from Aywin's casting?

No - it's just that everyone (NPCs and pets included) has +5 HP from their base HP.

Sorry, I wasn't clear. I was asking about the healing benefit of the spell rather than the bonus to max hp which we already had and, I assume, is being extended to eight hours from the time of Aywin's casting. Do we each heal another 5 hp, or does the higher amount of healing we already received from Terrin's casting (not bragging, but he's a life cleric) supersede because it's the higher bonus?

 

[Lidgar]

Not Fitz, but my read is each casting improves your current and HP maximum by 5 (unless you upcast it). So I'd allow for the first effect to increase your current HP's if they are below the max for each casting, but the HP max part doesn't stack or isn't replaced (again, unless you upcast it).

 

[FitzTheRuke]

Yeah, I don't think I quite understand the question. The extra five come in "full", and don't require healing, but I'm not sure anyone (or very many) PCs were doubled up on. I could be wrong.

 

[Hriston]

I'd assumed from @Leatherhead's question that everyone on the team had been targeted by Aywin because it didn't really make sense to ask about Terrin's casting this far after the fact. I hadn't seen in the thread who specifically was targeted by Aywin and had assumed it wouldn't stack anyway. Then, @FitzTheRuke, you said it was 5 for everyone, and I thought you were still talking about Aywin's casting. I have no idea if anyone from Team Infiltrate was targeted by Aywin or not. By healing, I meant the benefit of the spell that increases your current hit points which I regard as separate from the benefit that increases your hit point maximum. I guess it would be helpful to know who, if anyone, from Team Infiltrate was targeted and, if so, if their current hit points are increased from their current value thereby.
