Unnamed Bonus

[daken201]

When using the aid another option it grants a +2 bonus.
When using the Swift Aid feat you grant a +1 bonus instead.

The question is sense they are both unnamed bonuses could you use a swift action to use swift aid and then your standard action for a normal aid another action granting a total of +3?

If not can someone tell me where the rules governing this are located?

Rules aside - how are you lending your aid twice?

I see no reason that you couldn't do both, though the DM might say that they are from the same source and therefore wouldn't stack. Even so, you could Aid Another to give them +2 to attack and Swift Aid to give them +1 AC if nothing else.

The rule for stacking bonuses lives under Special Spell Effects in the Magic section of the CRB.

in an example

we are facing an ogre, i use the swift aid feat to give him a +1 bonus to attack, say by nocking the ogres club out of guard alignment, then using my normal standard action i use the aid another action to grant him another +2 to attack, say by making threatening movements to the side distracting him.

for a skill it would be like someone telling you (cut the blue wire, no the other blue wire) when difusing a bomb

untyped bonuses stack.

In my opinion, both are from separate sources.

Thank you Domingo, I see the ruling now. So they wouldn't stack, unless I can find a way to change the type. Ahh well.

Thanks for the responses. I greatly appreciate the help.
