Multiple familiar special bonuses stacking.


Rules Questions


As untyped bonuses, can the "special bonuses" from familiars stack?

Ex: If I have a homunculist alchemist, that has the tumor familiar discovery, and I choose a compsognathus for both, would I get a +4, or +8 bonus to initiative.

Before someone says that this is moot as you can only have one familiar, I am of the opinion that, though similar, the homunculus familiar and tumor familiar are different abilities. As a result they do not count as stacking class levels towards one familiar (though I understand there are different opinions on this, and would be interested to hear what others have to say. I'm also very interested in how evolved/improved familiar interact with multiple familiars).


They're untyped bonuses all-right, but they can be considered bonuses "from the same source" and thus would not stack.
Ask your GM if two Familiars are the same source or not.
