Notes and Trivia
- As of Patch 9, the additional Hit Points given are granted via the Temporary Hit Points Mechanic. As such, it functions differently than from DnD 5E:
- In 5E, the HP provided by arcane ward is considered it's own HP pool, and does not interfere with Temporary Hit Points. Meaning, A wizard could, for example, cast False Life, before or after gaining Arcane Ward. And benefit from both effects.
- In 5E, the fact that Arcane Ward is its own HP pool also means the wizard would not need to do a saving throw to maintain concentration, if the ward absorbed all damage. In cases where the damage goes through, the challenge of such a saving throw is likewise diminished due to the reduced "actual" damage taken.
