Benefit: As a swift action, you can attempt the aid another action, granting your ally either a +1 bonus on his next attack roll or a +1 bonus to his AC.
Aid Allies (Ex): At 2nd level, whenever an order of the dragon cavalier uses the aid another action to assist one of his allies, the ally receives a +3 bonus to his Armor Class, attack roll, saving throw, or skill check. At 8th level, and every six levels thereafter, this bonus increases by an additional +1.
So. Two specific abilities that both override the general rule that Aid Another grants a +2 bonus. If a Dragon Cavalier uses the Swift Aid feat, how big a bonus does he grant?
I would say +2 (increasing at 8th and every six levels thereafter).
I would rewrite Aid Allies to say "bonus is increased by one", then it will work properly ok with Swift Aid and halfling Helpful trait. Tho it may open another can of worms.
On the other hand, Helpfull will not work with Swift Aid... So Helpful should be rewritten to "increases by 2"... whatever, i dont know anymore.
