You can only have one set of Temporary Hit Points at a time, and healing can't restore them. Temporary Hit Points do not remove [[Condition#Downed|Downed]] and disappear after a [[Long Rest]]. | You can only have one set of Temporary Hit Points at a time, and healing can't restore them. A second source of Temporary Hit Points will overwrite the first if the second gives more Temporary Hit Points than the first source's ''initial'' value, regardless of how much of that initial value remains.{{Verify}} | ||
Example: Level 1 [[Heroism]] applies 5 Temporary Hit Points when cast, and again each turn until it expires; and Level 1 [[False Life]] gives a one-time 7 Temporary Hit Points. If you have Heroism on you, and then you use False Life, you will have 7 Temporary Hit Points instead of 5. If you take 4 damage, you will have 4/7 Temporary Hit Points, but Heroism's 5 will still not overwrite that, neither through its per-turn applications, nor if you receive another casting of Heroism. However, if you lose that remaining 4/7 Temporary Hit Points, the next per-turn application of Heroism (if it's still active) will give you 5/5 Temporary Hit Points. | |||
Taking damage to your Temporary Hit Points will still cause a Concentration check (when Concentrating), even if the damage doesn't overflow into your base Hit Points. | |||
