Palemaster Lifebane issue

[Bakchuda]

I had collected some temp HP from lifebane, but then I cast Tenser's transformation (since my previous cast had run out), and poof, went from 6000 hp to 600 hp, the temp hp from Tenser's cancelled the other out. Anything that can be done about this?

Same happens to me too, really dissappointing to see tons of hp drop from a buff

I know this isn't related to the bug you mentioned, but I'm curious - how are you casting Life Blight (which requires 30 pre-LL PM levels) AND casting Tenser's? I've been spending a good part of the day trying to figure out how to make a tank PM, and Life Blight would obviously go a long ways towards that. But if you have to have 30 levels of PM, that leaves only 10 levels of Wizard, which nets you only level 5 spells. With Tenser's being a 6th level spell, you'd need 11 levels of Wizard, right? 6th level spells PLUS Life Blight would be great (Tenser's + Eth Visage)...

From the class description, PM's gain spell levels, as if they were their regular arcane class, every other PM level. That includes spell levels that you don't have spells for yet. As a wizard, you can then scribe those spells in and fill up your spellbook. The arch-lich I have only has 6 levels of wizard, but knows all of the spells, level 9 and down.

Don't cast tensers after lifebane. Allowing stack of temp hitpoints may be possible, but it may not, depends on the exploitability.

I must have missed something then, because my test characters both had 30 levels of PM, but only had spell slots up to my max spell slots from my Wiz levels. Or....perhaps you can't "see" the open slots in your spellbook, since you don't know any of the spells in those slots? So can you just scribe the scrolls, and THEN the slots show up in the spellbook?

I have this same problem but with Miracle and Tenser's.

I don't necessarily want them to stack, I just don't want Tenser's to overwrite Miracle. To me, the 1000 HPs from Miracle are much more useful then the 100 or so I get from Tenser's.

Precisely, you won't be able to see them except for with metamagic feats, and even those only through the radial menu, unless you scribe those spells.

Excellent! ^^ That explains a lot then. Thanks Bakchuda!
