Hands of Stone
"At 7th level, a Brother of the Seal increases his unarmed strike damage as though he were a creature one size larger."

Strong Jaw
"Laying a hand upon an allied creature's jaw, claws, tentacles, or other natural weapons, you enhance the power of that creature's natural attacks. Each natural attack that creature makes deals damage as if the creature were two sizes larger than it actually is. If the creature is already Gargantuan or Colossal-sized, double the amount of damage dealt by each of its natural attacks instead. This spell does not actually change the creature's size; all of its statistics except the amount of damage dealt by its natural attacks remain unchanged."

Wildshape - Huge (Obvious, but it makes me a Huge sized creature assuming I have cleared the Nature check on a Huge beast I have encountered in the past or present)

Animal Aspect Gorilla
"Gorilla: Your arms become long, flexible, and strong like those of a great ape. Your unarmed damage die type increases by one step, and you gain a +4 competence bonus on combat maneuver checks when making the grapple or reposition combat maneuver."

"A monk's unarmed strike is treated as both a manufactured weapon and a natural weapon for the purpose of spells and effects that enhance or improve either manufactured weapons or natural weapons."

1.) Do all of these successfully stack to increase my IUS to 48d8?(2d10 Medium Base Damage)??

I'm pretty positive the first 4 abilities will stack.. but would Animal Aspect Gorilla stack with it all too?

Liberty's Edge

Pretty sure they are all size bonuses which wouldn't stack.


The first two wouldn't stack as they only treat you as if you were X sizes larger, it doesn't actually increase it like Gorilla Arms does(unarmed damage die type is increased by one step). So both Strong Jaw and Hands of Stone work on the creature using his base size of medium.

So it's either Strong Jaw OR Hands of Stone?

Does Animal Aspect Gorilla stack with either?


You could be a huge creature (wild shape), with damage dealt as if two sizes larger (strong jaw), with your damage die type increased by one step (animal aspect).

Wild shape actually makes you larger. Strong jaw and Hand of Stone just treat you as if you were two or one size larger. So you'd either be huge +1 size, or huge +2 size. And the gorilla aspect then increases your die.


Animal Aspect will stack with Strong Jaw or Hands of Stone, but not Wildshape as they are both polymorph effects and you can only benefit from one polymorph effect at a time.

EDIT: I'm assuming Animal Aspect spell. I don't know if there is a different one.


Ok, didn't realize Animal Aspect and Wildshape were both polymorphs. I revoke what I said then.

Thanks guys!
