Am I reading this correctly?
PHB page 198 says: (Temporary Hit Points) Healing can't restore temporary hit points, and they can't be added together. If you have temporary hit points and receive more of them, you decide whether to keep the ones you have or gain the new ones. For example, if a spell grants you 12 temporary hit points when you already have 10, you can have 12 or 10, not 22.
The target of the spell Heroism gains temporary hit points equal to your spellcasting ability modifier at the start of each of its turns.
So (for starting characters), the target of Heroism would get like 3 temporary hit points, replenished each round for the duration of the spell, but no more than that.
Seems like a rather nominal benefit.
