A fellow gamer asked me , since I have played more PFS experience than he, where the rules are that state that certain items are not or are stackable with others. I of course would like to know as well just so I can plan for my own characters. To give an example, Let's say you have a Paladin with a stat score of 18. If he hold a rod of splendor, he gets an additional +4 to his charisma score. If he buys a Headband of alluring Charisma +4, that would do the same amount addition. Would only one or the other affect him or would both guaranteeing him a +8 or a 26 stat score to his Charisma, and where can I look to have it say yes allowed or no. Thanks ahead of time!!

You have to read the items power carefully. If the powers have the same type of bonus, they do not stack.
The Headband of Alluring Charisma is described as "grants the wearer an enhancement bonus to Charisma" The Rod of Splendor is also described as "gains a +4 enhancement bonus to her Charisma". They are both grant an 'enhancement' bonus to the attribute, so they do not stack. You only take the larger bonus.
The Circlet of Persuasion, however, "grants a +3 competence bonus on the wearer's Charisma-based checks". So it would stack for checks with the other two items since they were 'enhancement' bonuses and the Circlet is a 'competence' bonus.
I think there is a list of bonus types somewhere, but I do not know the location.

Here is a list of bonus types from the PRD.
This type of question should really be asked in the Rules section of the boards, not the Pathfinder Society Organized Play boards.
