UA Shifter Race Temporary Hitpoints Question

[Want2mess]

Do the temporary hitpoints from shifting (level + con modifier) fall off after you finish your shifting, or do they follow the rules in the PHB of not falling off until a long rest or damaged?

[Kadesh]

Unless stated otherwise, tbey follow the normal rules.

It says you have the hitpoints while shapeshifting. That would imply they are lost when you are done.

It says you have the hitpoints while shapeshifting. That would imply they are lost when you are done.

At least in the 2018 version, it says


When you shift, you gain temporary hit points equal to your level + your Constitution modifier (minimum of 1 temporary hit point).


And the Beasthide Shifter has the same phrasing for the extra temporary hit points from the subrace. They use "while" in the next clause to highlight that the AC bonus is temporary, suggesting maybe the temporary hit points really do last longer than the shifting by intent.

I doubt its intended that way. What are the temp hp anyway besides a rough representation of shapeshifting hp. They a bit lazy with the UAs, so I wouldn't hold the wording too highly. But play it how you wish.
