Temporary Hit Points Stacking?


Rules Questions


Has there been any clarification on temporary hit points stacking or are we stuck with the 3.5 FAQ answer that only thp from different sources stack? I have had little luck searching the books, PFSRD and site. Any help would be much appreciated.


My GM would definitely let it stack, if only for the reason that the spells/etc. to get it up are expensive in terms of time and spell level, and don't last a long time.

Other GM's would probably do it differently. And there's probably a proper rule about this somewhere, as well.

same source doesn't stack, other wise 4 bulls strengths start giving + 16 to str, and things get dumb


Well I was hoping that none would stack but can handle if it stacks from separate sources. The question came up in game and much to my dismay there was nothing in the books about it. Thanks for the link and input.


Someone in that post quoted James Jacobs as saying that no sources stack. You only take the thp from the highest source.


Thanks I did see that but I game with a player that will pitch a fit if there is not an official answer that makes it to an errata or faq of some sort. Until then he gets a few extra thp not a big deal. He actually said that vampiric touch was a useless spell if it didn’t stack with itself which I found quite amusing but so goes life.
