Hello, hope someone can give a definite answer to this (probably) simple question.

Level 1 Barbarian/lvl 9 Fighter

How many 'temporary hitpoints' would this character get when he uses his daily Rage ability?

A.) Does get +2 extra hp (for his single barbarian level), or
B.) Does he get +20 extra hp (+2/total character level - 2hp x 10 total levels)

Does Rage 'stack' with other levels... well, I hope you know where I'm getting at.

Rage does not grant temp hp. It simply increases your con score temporarily.

Thus, your hp will increase by 2*(total HD) for the duration of the rage, but note that you will lose those hp when the rage ends.

The concept is similar to getting extra hp from con increases via wearing an amulet which boosts con, or increasing it with stat boosts when you level up.:)

Thanks for a quick answer, we and myself were wondering whether the above character would get 'extra hp' just for his One barbarian level, or for his total character levels - or total HD as you said.

Thanks again, case closed :)
