Different Types of Skill Feats Stacking?


Rules Questions

A confusing question, but not exactly one I can completely state with game terms.

Let's say you have a character who wants to use Acrobatics to avoid attacks from movement, but their Acrobatics stinks. An obvious answer is to take the Skill Focus (Acrobatics) feat.

But let's say that eventually this character develops a means to Fly, and while his Fly is nowhere near as bad as his Acrobatics, he still wants to improve it a tad, so he takes the Acrobatic feat.

My question is, since these bonuses come from the same source type (a feat), does this mean that the character in question would not get an additional +2 to Acrobatics (and thusly would be better off taking Skill Focus [Fly]), or would it stack because the bonus from both feats are an untyped bonus?


Depends on how it's all worded.

Each bonus should have a type stated somewhere near it. If the types are the same, they don't stack with the exception of dodge bonuses to AC and untype bonuses.

As both bonus type are untyped, they stack.

They stack! Your "Same Source type (a feat)" would be Skill Focus (Acrobatics) & Skill Focus (Acrobatics), or Acrobatic feat & Acrobatic feat. They are two different feats w/ no named bonus, if they where named then they may or may not stack depending on the name type.

They are untyped bonuses from different sources, they work together.
