Bane + Greater Magic Fang / Weapon


Rules Questions

If an effect such as the Inquisitor's Bane ability adds the Bane property to a weapon under the effect of Greater Magic Weapon would the two bonuses stack? For instance, if I had a +1 sword which was increased to +3 by a 13th level caster's GMW spell could I increase the weapon's effective bonus to +5 by adding Bane? (I'm aware that the GMW portion of the bonus wouldn't count towards overcoming metallic or alignment based DR)

We're also wondering about a very similar situation where an eidolon under the effects of Greater Magic Fang for a +1 on all natural weapons dons an amulet of elf bane. Would the eidolon's natural attacks count as +3 against a drow or just +2? I figure that the higher, stacking bonuses would apply, but I wouldn't be shocked if that's wrong.


I *think* they would stack in both cases. Bane explicitly says that the enhancement bonus becomes 2 better than normal - and the current enchancement bonus would be whatever GMW/GMF brought it up to.
