It's screwy but less screwy than someone shouting across the battlefield at the rogue who just fell unconscious from a fall into a pit of acid and removing their injuries.As I say elsewhere, temporary hit points have a number of advantages beyond healing. You don't need to worry about wasting healing by overhealing. You can prevent someone from falling down in the first place, thus negating the need for them to stand up or potentially miss a turn. You can stack temp hp on a character likely to be hit and they can take far more punishment than they could otherwise. You can use the power proactively if you roll a high initiative, rather than having to ready or choose a different action since no one is hurt. There are differences, but both are strong choices. It's disingenuous to imply a warlord granting temp hp would be less useful than one that heals</blockquote>
