Does the Halfling Opportunist and Rogue Talent Trap Spotter Stack

Hi Folks!

Working on a halfling rogue and got a quick question . . .

Does the Rogue Talent, Trap Spotter and the Halfling Opportunist class ability Trap Spotter stack?

Ok, technically, per the description of the Opp's ability description the rogue talent is granted to the Opportunist, but if the prestige class was picked up using rogue levels and the rogue had already taken the Trap Spotter rogue talent, is there any interaction?

Thanks!

Since the Opportunist's ability grants the talent, no they would not stack in any way, you'd have a case of overlap (as in you're getting the exact same rogue talent twice) and it would be useless to you. If you were going for this, I would suggest planning your build so that you don't take Trap Spotter as a Rogue, and just wait to get it through the Opportunist class feature.

That is mostly where I was at when I posted. I'm working on a PCGen data set for Halflings of Golarion and am in what I think is the final QA stages before submitting to the full team for review, so I'm working through a few of the potential gotchas. This is one of them. Gotta handle this corner case. :-)

Thanks!

From reading it it sounds just like Uncanny Dodge where the second class doesn't affect getting improved uncanny dodge.
