The whole passage refers to the hit dice -- which are contrasted against regular hit dice.In the Special Mount's passage, his "bonus hit dice" are equated with regular hit dice.The difference in language and content is not minor. We know what regular or normal hit dice provide. You can't take a hard line on "bonus hit dice" and simultaneously ask for a fuzzy interpretation of "temporary hit points", because the former is not well defined while the latter is. That's the point of B."Bonus hit dice" are not a term of art, though regular "hit dice" certainly are. If they'd omitted the modifier "bonus" from any instance of "hit dice" you'd have a chance for a case, but here (unlike the Paladin's special mount) they do not.We most emphatically do not know what "bonus hit dice" provide, and that's why every time they come up, we get a passage explaining the benefit provided.Cheers, -- N</blockquote>
