Is there a page in the PFRPG which lists all the types of bonuses that exist in the game?

If one of the paizo staff could sound off compiling the types of bonuses into one post I'd be forever grateful.

Why do you need to know?

There is a very limited number of different bonus types.
Adding new types is a very bad idea.

I'm not interested in adding a new type. I'm working on my homebrew (races, classes, etc...) and such a list would prove handy when determining which bonus type would make sense.

This has come up a few times in the past - I believe James said they meant to list the bonus types in the book but didn't (either it was cut due to space or it was an oversight)

Your best bet is to check the D20.org site - it DOES list the types of bonuses.

Hope that helps!

There is a quote about CMD that I think does a lot of bonuses.

* A creature can also add any circumstance, deflection, dodge, insight, morale, profane, and sacred bonuses to AC to its CMD.

I'm trying to build a list of bonuses too so if you find a good one, let us know :)

A good summary of the standard types (3.5, but carries over to PRPG):

Yep - that was the one I was talking about.

Resurecting this thread from the ashes ...

Has anyone heard if these will be included in the Gamemastery Guide? Seems like a perfect place to finally get them officially back in the game!
