As you take damage, the oldest temp hit points are lost first, then on to the newer ones, assuming different sources.  They stack, sort of, but only the highest amount count for effects based on your hit point total.Like the Power Word Kill spell:  Say you have 93 hit points, 3 temp hit points from one source and 6 from another.93 + 6 (the highest) is less than 101, so Power Word Kill could get you.If you had 93 hit points, 10 temp hit points from one source and 5 from another, you'd be fine, since 93 + 10 is more than 101.If the 5 was the most recently-applied temp hit points, and you took 6 points of damage, they would come off the 10 temp hit points, since they are older, and then Power Word Kill could affect you again. 93 + 5 is less than 101.Oh, and if you get a new set of temp hit points from a source from which you already have some, but less than the new application, the new set just replaces the old, since they don't stack, and only the highest counts, just basically refreshing the temp hit points, per the stacking rules already in place.</blockquote>
