Transmutation School Bonus and Stat Boosting Spells


Rules Questions


Would the attribute bump given by the Wizard Transmutation School stack with the bump given by attribute stat bumping spells like Bull's Strength and Cat's Grace? Or else would both sources being enhancement bonus's cause the larger boost to override the smaller boost?

The Exchange

Enhancement bonuses (like most bonuses) do not stack, so you would only take the better of the two. I don't think the Transmutation bonus would be game breaking if they did stack, but it would be quite a bit better.

Nope; they're both enhancement bonuses, and thus don't stack. You only take the largest bonus.

As a supernatural ability it is suppressed in and antimagic zone, and the wording of is suggests that it is of the regular persuasion i.e. you take the highest enhancement bonus available and not stack them. At level 20 however they will supersede the animal quality type spells as they are at +5 and apply to 2 separate stats.


That's what I thought! Thanks!
