[QUOTE="nhl_1997, post: 1910674, member: 22380"] Even if I were to follow the example I list below, I would still not allow temporary hit points from the same source to stack or overlap. Just take the most beneficial one and ignore all other temporary hit points from the same source. I do not know much about psionics, so I'll attempt to illustrate the example via false life and greater heroism. The example character is a 15th level wizard with 91 hit points. Beginning of the day, cast an extended false life (roll a 7) ----- hp: 91 ----- temp: 17 Begin combat and the wizard takes 10 points of damage ----- hp: 91 ----- temp: 7 Wizard casts greater heroism ----- hp: 91 ----- false life temp: 7 ----- greater heroism temp: 15 Wizard takes another 12 points of damage ----- hp: 91 ----- false life temp: 7 ----- greater heroism temp: 3 Note, the damage was applied to the greater heroism temporary hit points because that is the most recent effect. Targeted greater dispel magic fails to dispel the greater heroism but successfully dispels the false life ----- hp: 91 ----- greater heroism temp: 3 Wizard takes another 20 points of damage ----- hp: 74 Note, the morale bonuses from greater heroism are still in effect. This method is certainly reasonable, but it's a bit cumbersome because it's necessary to keep track of how many temp hit points are remaining from each effect and the order in which the effects began.
