[QUOTE="Hypersmurf, post: 1910837, member: 1656"] I've only ever seen the issue of stacking temporary hit points addressed in one place: the 3E Main FAQ. And the answer is freaky-weird. [b]How is the body feeder weapon quality supposed to work? Do the temporary hit points from the weapon stack? The same question applies to mind feeder weapons and to spell effects, such as vampiric touch.[/b] [i]Temporary hit points from a body feeder weapon stack with each other, but not with temporary hit points from any other source. Likewise, temporary psionic points from a mind feeder weapon stack, but not with temporary psionic points from any other source. In general, any effect that allows you to gain temporary hit points over time allows you to stack those points, but only those points. For example, if you use the vampiric touch spell, the temporary hit points you gain from that particular casting of the spell stack. They don’t stack with the temporary hit points you get from an aid spell, nor would the effects of two vampiric touch or aid spells stack. If you were to use two body feeder weapons (or two mind feeder weapons), you could not stack the temporary points from the two weapons.[/i] -Hyp. [/QUOTE]
