Aid another bonuses

Let me know if im doing this right

Swift aid feat allows you to aid another as a swift action with only a +1

Protection heavenly virtue feat says that you give +4 instead of +2 on aid another. With me giving +1 as a swift, would it be raised to +3?

Order of the dragon lvl 2 cavalier says that i give +3 bonus to any aid another function. As a swiftt, would it be +2? Stacking with the protection, would it be =4?

If im doing it as a standard, +5?

Do you have a link to the exact wording for this feat?

No, still +3. Or +1, depending on your GM. Both abilities give a flat number, not a bonus. Which one takes precedence, is unclear. So while +2 is specifically not the RAW, it does make the most sense.

Protection Creed: You must always stand up for those weaker than yourself. You must defend your community against those that prey upon it. Benefit: When you use the aid another action to improve an ally’s AC against attacks, the bonus increases to +4 instead of +2.

Straight out of the champions of purity companion.

This might be a RAW screwing over RAI

I didnt see that, whats it called? Also. Not my point, i just want to know if they stack?


Depends on your GM (again), but:

  • it explicitly says it "increases" the bonus. So that would mean it's a +2 bonus to the bonus. But...
  • it also say it increases the +2 bonus. Since you wouldn't be getting that +2 bonus (but rather a +1), a GM could also rule you get nothing.
