I have a question about a character that is below 0 HP but not dead that received Temp HP from a source...
Lets set this up as such...

Orc character with Cruel enchant on a weapon.... Lets say he is at -2 HP, but thanks to Orc ferocity, he is not unconscious. Now he takes an action to attack and kills an opponent. This grants him 5 temporary HP for 10 minutes thanks to his weapon enchant. HE still takes the -1 HP for doing something while below 0.... but now what is his status. Is he now considered to be in positive HP and thus no longer staggered, or is he still considered to be below 0 since the 5 HP he has are temps?

Anything that puts you above zero, regardless of source or duration, removes the dying and disabled conditions. Thus you are conscious and can act freely until it wears off.
