Do the temporary hit points from the Battlerager barbarian's Reckless Abandon stack if I make multiple...

$begingroup$


If I'm a Battlerager barbarian (from Sword Coast Adventurer's Guide, p. 121) and make 3 attacks on my turn while using Reckless Attack and raging, do I get 5 temporary HP total, or 5 temp HP per attack (15 HP total)?



The latter seems a bit high to be able to get per round combined with resistances.

The Battlerager's Reckless Abandon feature says:




Beginning at 6th level, when you use Reckless Attack while raging, you also gain temporary hit points




The Reckless Attack feature says:




Starting at 2nd level, you can throw aside all concern
for defense to attack with fierce desperation. When you make your
first attack on your turn, you can decide to attack recklessly. Doing
so gives you advantage on melee weapon attack rolls using Strength
during this turn, but attack rolls against you have advantage until
your next turn.




Since reckless attack only triggers when you make your first attack on your turn, it can only be used once per turn (and only on your turn, unlike Sneak Attack). Therefore, you can only gain the benefit of Reckless Abandon once per turn.




Also, as Purple Monkey points out, temporary HP from multiple sources does not stack, so even if you could use Reckless Abandon multiple times on your turn, you'd still only have 5 Temp HP: How does Armor of Agathys interact with getting temporary hit points?

    Might be worth also adding in the fact that Temp HP don't stack so it wouldn't matter even if Reckless Attack did trigger more than once.

Berlina muro

Image
La berlina muro ĉe Bethaniendamm, 1986 La berlina muro aŭ simple la muro [1] , nomita ankaŭ "kontraŭfaŝisma remparo" en propaganda lingvo de la iama Germana Demokratia Respubliko, estis parto de la interngermana limo, kiu dividis de la 13-a de aŭgusto 1961 ĝis la 9-a de novembro 1989 okcidentan Berlinon de la orienta parto de la urbo kaj de la ĉirkaŭa tereno de la GDR. Ĝi estis unu el la plej famaj simboloj de la malvarma milito kaj de la disdivido de Germanio. Pli ol simpla muro, la berlina muro estis fakte tuta defendokonstruaĵo kun du muroj, ena malplena strio, rondirvojo, gardturoj kaj alarmsistemoj. Dum la provo transiri la severe garditan limon al okcidenta Berlino multaj homoj estis mortigitaj. La preciza nombro de viktimoj estas pridisputita kaj ne certa; la nombroj anoncataj varias inter 86 kaj 238 mortintoj. La malplifortiĝo de Sovetunio kaj la politiko de liberigo gvidita de Miĥail Gorbaĉov ebligis al la orientgermanoj faligi la 9-an de novembro 1989 l...
