I have a question about the fly spell. The spell says it grants the ability to fly with good maneuverability and also a bonus to half caster level to Fly checks. Now, the maneuverability usually grants a modifier to Fly checks too, which in the case of good maneuverability is +4.
So, does this mean the fly spell grants a total bonus to Fly checks of +4 plus half caster level, or does the level-dependent bonus replace the default bonus from maneuverability, even though it might be lower at low levels?
During last night's game, an interesting question came up regarding something very similar to this.
If a witch with the Flight hex is using flight and activates winged boots, would the effective boosts to her Fly skill check (+4 for the boots, 1/2 level for the hex) stack, or would they overlap? Or would it, as I suspect, be entirely redundant to have both the hex and the boots activated at the same time?
Without looking at either in the books, if the bonuses are untyped, they very well could stack, if they are the same bonus type, they would not. Sorry I cannot give a clearer answer, I lent my APG out for the week.
