do divine favor and divine power stack? i know they are both luck bonuses but it doesnt state if they stack or not. nor can i find anything in the book abt it.
Bonus Types: Usually, a bonus has a type that indicates how the spell grants the bonus. The important aspect of bonus types is that two bonuses of the same type don't generally stack.

the only exception to this is dodge bonuses which do stack.
Wraith, giving a blanket statement without giving the exceptions helps him none. He might go away assuming they all do. Lucky for him I did some digging, because I remembered that there were exceptions. Dodge for instance:
"Unlike most sorts of bonuses, dodge bonuses stack with each other."
However, even though I remember Luck being an exemption in 3.5 I can't find it in the Pathfinder book. Does it mean it's not there? No, it could be that it's buried in the huge book somewhere.
I also swear there were others that I couldn't find either.
"Bonus Types: Usually, a bonus has a type that indicates how the spell grants the bonus. The important aspect of bonus types is that two bonuses of the same type don't generally stack. With the exception of dodge bonuses, most circumstance bonuses, and racial bonuses, only the better bonus of a given type works (see Combining Magical Effects). The same principle applies to penalties—a character taking two or more penalties of the same type applies only the worst one, although most penalties have no type and thus always stack. Bonuses without a type always stack, unless they are from the same source."
This is taken from the Spells section. The Dodge one was in the Feat section... whoever formatted the Core Rulebook wasn't thinking "Hey, maybe we could put all this stuff in one place! Maybe a 2 page appendix (maybe it might fit on ONE page!)!"
