It also means shouting at already injured characters may help them keep fighting but the wounds are still there in the end.of course it's not perfect and I'm still not sold on the warlord as a d&d class concept but temp hps at least make it a bit more believable.this too. it reminds me of  many games that heavily relied on potions because no one wanted to be the cleric, or that player couldn't make it. the potion binge was a bit goofy but imo preferable to forcing a role on a character.</blockquote>
