Hello there,
In many posts people say that you can never have more than a +5 inherent bonus to any stat. I play an Abyssal Sorcerer, and Strength of the Abyss eventually gives a +6 bonus to STR. This seems very conflicting to me.
My question is: Is this an exception to the +5 rule? How does it work exactly?
Also: Could I use Improved Eldritch Heritage to delve into the Orc sorcerer bloodline and take Strength of the Beast in addition to Strength of the Abyss, thus giving two +6 inherent stat bonuses to STR?

That is because other than the sorcerer bloodline, the only other ways to get an inherent bonus to a stat is rapid-fire Wish Spells, or Magic Tomes. Both of which are topped out at +5.
Bonuses of the same type do not stack (with a couple of exceptions). However, Inherent is not an exception to stacking. So no, you could not get two Inherent Bonuses from different sources and have them stack.
I see, thank you!

No problem, happy to help.
