+=== Temporary Stamina ===
+You might receive temporary stamina from many sources, ranging from class features to elixirs to magic.  Temporary stamina works identically to normal stamina, save that you can receive any amount, above and beyond your normal stamina.  It never converts to normal stamina;  if you have taken stamina damage, and receive temporary stamina, this does not repair your normal stamina damage.

-Whenever a character receives healing, it must be applied to missing stamina first.  Only when a character's stamina is fully recovered will healing apply to their hit points.  The exception to this is when taking the Recover Health action.
