Too bad they do not do so well at this.  A technical term is frequently used in a generic sense in many places throughout the rules.  Many previous rules discussions have revolved around such issues.That's part of the confusion here.  Some of these "temporary hit points" are from CON, whicvn is most unsual and potentially confusing.Too true.  that, in and of itself, does not mean they chose the correct word,Wouldn't that be nice if we could do that?  But "temporary hit points" based upon Bonus HD with Con Bonus counted (as usual for HD) are very strange.   Maybe they really did mean "temporary hit points," which, I guess, would mean that the value of the points would not change if your Con went up or down.  But, since the source of those points is Bonus HD with Con Bonus applied, they really should change with Con changes, which would imply that they would be healable like regular hit points.So....I'd say everyone is correct as far as how they treat these "Temporaray Hit Points."  As my signature says, "Yes, there can be more than one right answer to a rules question! It can be an exercise in futility to attempt to apply a great deal of precision to an imprecise set of rules."</blockquote>
