Courageous weapon property shenanigans


Rules Questions


This weapon property is making my head explode.

For example, 9th level inquisitor with the Anger inquistion can rage. She has a +1 Furious, Courageous Greatsword. She casts Greater Magic Weapon on it at the start of the day. The first sign of trouble things go like this...

Round 1. Identify creature, pass Judgment. Cast Wrath (or similar buff spell: +1 morale bonus to attack and damage per 3 levels)
Round 2. Swift action to activate Bane (increasing enhancement by 2 vs that creature type), then Rage (increasing enhancement by 2), then charge.

The enhancement bonus is suddenly +6? And you apply +3 to your other morale bonuses? Or perhaps because the Bane property only apply when attacking that creature, you only get a +2 boost to static morale bonuses until you are actually attacking that creature, at which point it treats them at +3. Huh?

Relevant d20pfsrd links: Courageous, Bane weapon, Furious, Wrath spell.

The latter. The Courageous bonus from Bane only applies against that creature.

Yes, Courageous and Furious and Bane all stack nicely.

It's an expensive combo.
