Do the speed boni stack? Has a human cleric (travel domain) / barbarian a speed of 50 ft.?

Yes. The barbarian Fast Movement explicitly states it stacks with other bonuses to movement. The cleric domain ability does not limit itself in anyway, and is an untyped bonus. Thus they stack.

A pair of boots of striding and springing would further stack with both, granting 60 feet total movement. The feet that boosts your movement by 5ft would also stack with all of the above, and the monk fast movement would also stack.


Though for clarity, the Monk fast movement would NOT stack with the aforementioned Boots of Striding and Springing. (Due to both being Enhancement bonuses)

Fast Movement (Ex): A barbarian's land speed is faster than the norm for her race by +10 feet. This benefit applies only when she is wearing no armor, light armor, or medium armor, and not carrying a heavy load. Apply this bonus before modifying the barbarian's speed because of any load carried or armor worn. This bonus stacks with any other bonuses to the barbarian's land speed.

Granted Powers: You are an explorer and find enlightenment in the simple joy of travel, be it by foot or conveyance or magic. Increase your base speed by 10 feet.

Hmm... two untyped bonuses, one of them specifically stating it stacks with everything... 50 ft it is.

(BTW: Your first level Domain Spell, Longstrider, adds another 10ft (which, of course are not untyped, but rather an Enhancement Bonus))

Edit: Gah! Ninjas everywhere!

Thanks for catching that. Forgot it was actually typed.

Yeah... >.< I really don't like how Monks got shafted in that regard, but that's the RAW of it.


Ok, that settles it. My ustalavian cleric of Desna will bei a Bbn1/ClrX, instead of a Ftr1/ClrX. Thanks folks!

Welcome to the Barbarian1/ClericX-with-travel-domain club. My Cleric of Cayden Cailean conforms to this template. In fact with the movement granted by this combo, I decided to build his entire schtick on movement- step up, friendly switch, etc.

If you are building this as a primarily fighting cleric, you may want to consider barbarian2/ clericX. The spellcasting level tradeoff is steep, but for a fighting cleric the extra rage rounds are nice; however the real money is Uncanny dodge, which in Pathfinder works as a poor man's uncanny dodge- no extra attacks, but it allows you to make attacks of opportunity when you are flat footed, because you are NEVER flat footed.

YMMV. I have played both a half orc Barb1/ clericX, and a half orc Barb2/ clericX, and for a fighting cleric the Barb2 is money.
