Do Varisian Tattoo: Conjuration and Gifted Adept: Summon Monster 1 Stack?

Also, how do they interact with Summoner's Charm?

[Seraphimpunk]

varisian tattoo provides a feat bonus to caster level, gifted adept provides a trait bonus, ( well they're unstatted bonuses but whatever ) , so yeah, they stack. for summon monster 1 you'd have +2 caster level, for other conjuration spells you'd be at +1 caster level.

[Umbranus]

All three should stack I'd say.
No reason I can the why it shouldn't.

[Seraphimpunk]

oh yeah, summoner's charm. that just adds a flat bonus to the duration of the spell. does nothing to effect the caster level of the spell. so yeah, it would stack.

1st level you'd have a 4 round summon monster 1.
2nd level you'd have a 5 round summon monster 1.
3rd level you'd have a 6 round SM 1, or a 5 round SM 2.
4th level you'd have an 8 round SM 1, or a 7 round SM 2.
etc.

[Nazard]

That's a great front-heavy build for the very early levels, but eventually, SM1 is going to be obsolete, and then the trait is worthless. Still, a lot of people take the Rich Parents, which becomes worthless a lot sooner than 5th level.

Until desperate GM starts using traps that are triggered by combing a pressure plate and detect magic *not* detecting a conjuration effect :P
