Question about Enhancement Stacking


Advice


Hi all,

I'm still not clear on buffs and stacking. I'm envisioning an Unchained Barbarian/Arsenal Chaplain Warpriest at Lvl 11.

Do the following bonuses stack:

BAB +8
STR +5
Divine Favor +4
Rage +2
Furious Weapon +3
Weapon Training +4
Weapon Focus +1
Sacred Weapon +2

For +29 to hit and

STR +5
Divine Favor +4
Rage +2
Furious Weapon +3
Weapon Training +4
Sacred Weapon +2

For +20 to damage?

Thank you, as always,
The Other


I read "Furious weapon +3" to mean you have a +1 furious weapon, whose enhancement bonus is therefore +3 while you're raging.

Your BAB, Str, Unchained rage, weapon training, and weapon focus are untyped, so they stack with everything.

Divine favor is a luck bonus. Furious weapon is an (increased) enhancement bonus. Since those are different types, they stack too.

Sacred weapon is an enhancement bonus as well but it is specified to stack with the weapon's own enhancement bonus to a maximum of +5. You're getting +2 from sacred and +3 from furious => +5 total, so you're all right there.

So yes, the things you list all stack.

By contrast, if you added a luck bonus from some other source, it wouldn't stack with divine favor's bonus, you'd only get the greater one. If you were getting more enhancement bonus from sacred weapon or furious the extra wouldn't help, since the sum is capped at +5. (This would happen if I misread "Furious weapon +3" and you actually meant "+3 furious weapon," whose enhancement bonus (while raging) would be +5 by itself, so sacred weapon couldn't push it up any further.)

Hope this helps.

P.S. This isn't a stacking issue, but divine favor only goes up to +3.


This does help!! Thank you Fuzzy!!!


Oh and the favor +4 was from Fates Favored


Ah, in that case it's legit. :)
