[QUOTE="Jotun, post: 103399, member: 2383"] In the Player's Handbook on page 130, the rules discuss how hit points gained from increased constitution are not treated the same as temporary hit points. Damage taken is first taken from the normal hit points and then, when those are all gone, these hit points are removed. I would imagine that the same thing would be true for the opposite effect. A poison spell reduces Consitution. An example would explain it well. Helga the 6th level dwarven fighter has a consitution of 16 and 40 hit points. She takes 10 points of damage. She then gets poisoned and loses 6 points of consitution. Her hit points went from 40, to 30, and then to 12. Do the effects of poisoned attacks stack? If Helga is poisoned again, and loses 6 more points of Constitution loss, is she now at 4 Con score? Magical poison spell would not stack with itself, but do mundane poisons act the same way? What if the poison was magical? Thanks for all the help in advance. It's really important to me to be able to site DND published material when making a case for the correct answer. If you could tell me where you're reading the rules that helped you form your answer, I'd be extremely grateful. [/QUOTE]
