For the record, I was already planning on getting a cruel amulet of mighty fists for my Eidolon, and I am not planning on actually doing what I am going to suguest, but it was pointed out to me that it is possible, and so I am curious.
When the wielder strikes a creature that is frightened, shaken, or panicked with a cruel weapon, that creature becomes sickened for 1 round. When the wielder uses the weapon to knock unconscious or kill a creature, he gains 5 temporary hit points that last for 10 minutes.
Centipede (House) 1cp, 3oz
Before we go in somewhere dangerous, feed my Eidolon a live house centipede. Repeat as needed. My eidolon gets +5 hp before each combat.
No. Those are two separate sentences.
Only sickened effect depends on pre-existing conditions.
Temp HPs just require to kill or knock un-conscious. It can be centipede.
Well, I guess if they have to roll Init to see who eats who first, yes. ;-)
that is nothing.
i made a loop for souldrinker prestige class that let you get tons of temp hp if you take a few min before combat.
basickly take 2 levels in it. then use summon monster 1 for a pony( 2 hd animal.so work for the soul point part). then drain it for 2 soul points and 10 stacking hp(the power says you get the temp hp for each negetive level ). then use the 2 soul points to regain the spell you cast. you lose nothing more then a few rounds(3/4 depand if your "allowed" to tell it to lay still and it allowes a coup de grace or not, mixed votes on this one.personly after using ponies as trap detectors, this is the obvius next step. considerit laying his head on the choping board kind of helpless) and the material it cost to cast a 1st level summon mosnter spell. asuming casting the spell is 1 round and hitting the horse takes 2 (unless you crit\coup the grace) then 1 more round to regain spell you can use the loop every 3(or 4) rounds giving you about 16(/12) loops in 5 min netting you 160(120) temp hp and you get your spell back so not even lost that. the hp last one hour so if yo uwant yo ucna spend mor ethen 5 min(like 30 min if yo uare prewarned) and get a lot more. (30 min will net 1000\760 temp hp for at least 30 min before some start to fade)
this is also an easy cheat for crafting free. as each soul point is considered a standard (100 gp worth) soul that you can use for crafting. so you can spend a few summon mosnter spells at the end of the day to gain all the cost you need to craft(say youe do normal magical crafting at 1000 base cost each day, no increase do to higher dc or valet familier, which your cacodaemon can totaly get for you). and that mean you need 500 gp each day. that is 2.5 summon monsters(5 for each two days as the points can be used a day later as they don't vanished if you have some spare).
hell if the gm tries to say it wont work with summoned mosnters(which would some what nerf the ability as it would claim that summoned monsters are imune to negetive levels? but lets say he goes with, when the monster vanish so does it ligering life force.or whatever) a donkey which has the same states as a pony cost only 7 gp. go get a herd...
also at levels of 14+ you can use your barbarian team mate (if he allows you) as a source and regain the resteration spell you use AND the material cost to cast it (from soul points use) with extra for you to craft with. do notice this will need you to have a VERY large soul pool.
I thought up something along the same lines for a Hungry Ghost Monk. They can pretty much get away with killing a lot of bugs or other weak creatures.
And another trick was to play with the word "kill". Just dropping something doesn't kill it. First, all damage would be "non-lethal" as to knock someone out (free HP). He would then be the one to finish off creatures at the end of combat (more free HP). He was not a "good" guy.
Ah yes, the old killing a bag of squirrels trick. Classic.
Expect GM retribution if you actually attempted it, at least if I were the GM.

Line your pets up, then use Great CleaveAnd if they're all turtles you can set up a simple small barricade to keep them in a nice handly circle around you as you release them, maintaining the 'only one pet out at a time' thing.
My question is, do the 5 temp HP actually stack, or is this an instance of 'same source overlaps.'
No. temporary Hit points do not stack.

That doesn't work for hungry ghost monk.
non-lethal damage does not reduce the creatures hit points, and the monk needs to reduce it's hit points to 0.
To kill them, not to knock them unconscious. Once unconscious, each coup de grace is an automatic critical hit. Critical hits, and death, both give the Hungry Ghost Monk Ki points, or HP etc.
Yeah, I didn't spell it all out like I should have. It has been a while since I have done it, but it works so that you can get a few uses out of each combatant.
Of course, many, myself included, feel this is an abuse of the rules so we just set it up so I would be the one to finish off each opponent and I would get one "proc" per NPC, once the battle was over.
