Yet another inherent bonus to stat question...

[BuggerRat]

How many inherent bonuses to stats can a character have in one lifetime? Say I have a character use a Manual of Gainful Excercise +5, can that character later use another X number of Wish spells to increase the same stat or is he limited to only +5 his entire lifetime? What about another Manual of Gainful Excercise at a later date?

Thanks in advance.

+5 is the maximum inherent bonus you can ever get to a single ability score.

(Adding some information)

A inherent bonus won't stack with another inherent bonus because bonuses with the same name don't usually stack. Inherent bonuses aren't an exception.

Be careful with those manuals, if you read a +1 manual and then a +3 manual you are loosing money.

The powergamer in me is disappointed ;P

Thanks again all for the answer.
