Question about the Heal skill, specifically Treat Disease


Rules Questions


I have a simple question about the Heal skill that just came up in our tabletop game.

If two characters both make Heal checks on the same wounded person, do the results of the checks stack? In this instance, they were using the Treat Disease aspect of the skill. RAW say that if the Heal check exceeds the DC of the disease, the character receives a +4 competence bonus on his saving throw against the disease.

Would two successful checks give a +8 competence bonus or since they're both competence bonuses, they by rule cannot stack with each other?

Thanks for the input!


Pretty much answered your own question, competence bonuses do not stack

You don't treat a disease twice as fast by taking the same pill twice in a row
