I was just looking through class features when I noticed that the Arcane Ward of The School of Abjuration is not temporary HP. It seems to me that it could combine well with a source of refreshing temp HP to form a barrier outside of defenses and saves. Something like a Warlocks Fiendish Vigor or Dark One's Blessing. Are there any creative uses of the two combining that anyones used before?

Yes arcane ward is great but it's actually kind of hard to recharge it once it's down. It doesn't recharge on its own other than after a long  rest when you re activate it. Otherwise,  how many abjuration spells can you really spam to keep it charged up?

Heroism I think. You get hp per round of the casters ability mod.

 

My ten year old son made a Mountain Dward Wizard Abjurer.  He uses a battle axe and hand axe for his attacks and if he's hit, uses shield as a reaction.  He rarely casts spells, so the armor and the +5 from shield means he rarely gets hit, and when he does, it's the shield points that go away first.  It's a very survivable wizard.

Why do you want temp HP and the ward? If you take damage I guess it's one or the other. I don't see why you would need to go for both. 

 

Better off using defensive spells to not get hurt much,  making the ward last a lot longer
