03-06-06, 07:56 AM I have a rule question about temporary hit points.

Consider this situation : I cast a spell that gives temporary hit points (like aid) on a character.
This character take damage.
Then I cast the same spell once again on him, before the duration of the previous spell expires.

Does the character gain new temporary hit points ?

Thanks.
