Mar 01, 2009 4:03:55 They have this class feature that says "anytime a opponent is reduced to 0 hp the barbarian gains 5+his con modifier in temp hps." ANY time an opponent is reduced to 0 hp? Cause that's how a munchkin would view it. So can the barbarian kill a lot of enemies and just get an ungodly amount of temp hp every time he kills someone? I think the wording needs to be changed on that.

Mar 01, 2009 12:27:22 Sorry, guys, but I need more explanation...

So my Barbarian attacks his enemy and kills him. At that moment, I get 5+Con mod (let´s say +3) temp HPs, right? So I can add 8 Temp HPs on my Temp HPs box, right?

Let´s say I use Swift Charge. I killed the enemy (I get the 8 Temp HPs, right?), and then I charge another enemy and kill him too. Do I get an EXTRA 8 Temp HPs? Do I get a total of 16 Temp HPs that round?

Also, let´s say I use a power that is "burst 1". I am surrounded by minions and I get to kill four of them with the same attack. Do I get 32 Temp HPs (4 times 8)?

Or does that work as only ONE enemy each round? Do extra enemies reduced to 0 Hps count as "other sources" to stop me from stacking all these Temp HPs?

Thanks in advance for all the help.

Cheers!

Correct

Let´s say I use Swift Charge. I killed the enemy (I get the 8 Temp HPs, right?), and then I charge another enemy and kill him too. Do I get an EXTRA 8 Temp HPs? Do I get a total of 16 Temp HPs that round?

No, you take the higher of the two.

Also, let´s say I use a power that is "burst 1". I am surrounded by minions and I get to kill four of them with the same attack. Do I get 32 Temp HPs (4 times 8)?

No, as each death is a single instance, so only get Temp HP for one enemy.

Or does that work as only ONE enemy each round? Do extra enemies reduced to 0 Hps count as "other sources" to stop me from stacking all these Temp HPs?

No, it doesn't matter. You can never (except in one specific case) stack temporary HP. In all cases, you take the highest amount.
Ex:
You kill a minion, gain 8 temp hp.
his buddy hits you and now you you have 4 temp hp.
He dies and you gain 8 temp hp, overriding the lesser 4 temp hp you had, leaving you with a full buffer of 8 temp hp.

Except, you know Barbarian IS in the PHB2, which isn't out yet, thus it would be a future release. Pwnt.

Except, you know, half of the Barbarian (including the bit you're asking about) is already published in Dragon, and apart from a couple of broken powers being fixed will look the same in PH 2...;)

Which is still a future release as it's not out now you know. ;)
