Two classes with bonded objects?

[Murdock Mudeater]

If I have two classes with bonded objects, are they the same object that applies to both classes, or does the character have two bonded objects?

For example, Wizard + Skirnir Magnus. Or Bonded Witch + Soul Forger Magnus.

If this is already FAQed, please direct me, as I can't find it.

Both are legitimate options.
They are not abilities that stack, so there is no requirement for you to have a single bonded object, you can have 2 bonded objects. But there is also nothing stopping you from declaring the bonded object from another class as your bonded object.

That works for me. I just figured I was missing something obvious.

There is no ruling for this. It is up to the GM. I will press the FAQ button, and see if it ever gets answered.

Okay, so double check:

Skirnir Magnus must take a shield for their bonded item, instead of the normal bonded item choices. If I take a level in Wizard, and I select Arcane Bond, does my bond default to the Shield since I already have an arcane bond, or do I select a second bond because the Shield is not a legal wizard arcane bond selection?

Does it change things if the Wizard is of the Bonded Wizard archetype, which adds +1 HP and Hardness per bonded wizard level to their Bonded item?

My opinion is that they would generally be separate items. But since both classes let you pick the item that you bond with, I think you could pick the same object for both if it qualified under both sets of rules.

So a Skirnir Magus (shield only) and a Magician Bard (amulet, ring, staff, or wand) would have to use two different objects. But a light or heavy shield is also a weapon, so in your example I think you could pick one for your Skirnir Bond and also pick it (as a weapon) for your Wizard Bond.
