Question about Initiative


Rules Questions


Was looking at a druid, and wanted to know if

"Improved Initiative" +4 would stack with "Aspect of the Best: Wild Instinct" +2 to initiative.

I thought they would stack, but double checking to see if there was some rule i did not know about that would not let them stack ??

They should.. as far as I know, they're both untyped bonuses.


What about Traits (Reactionary +2 to Initiative)... as well.


Assuming the trait is untyped/typed differently than any other bonus and doesn't have any verbage stating "doesn't stack with X Y Z", yes.

No, just that Traits do not stack with themselves... So "Reactionary" would not stack with elven "Warrior of Old". Both give a +2 to initiative.

Improved imitative and Aspect of the beast: wild instinct are both initiative bonus.... but does not give a type. Was not sure if Un-Type bonus would stack with each other; due to some rule i did not know about.

Why i was checking.

If it's a definite type of bonus such as say a Trait Bonus to Initiative, two Trait bonuses to the same item do not stack.
