Halfling Helpful racial trait and Cavalier Order of the Dragon compatibility


Rules Questions


Helpful (Halfling)
Benefit: Whenever you successfully perform an aid another action, you grant your ally a +4 bonus instead of the normal +2.

Aid Allies (Ex)
At 2nd level, whenever an order of the dragon cavalier uses the aid another action to assist one of his allies, the ally receives a +3 bonus to his armor class, attack roll, saving throw, or skill check. At 8th level, and every six levels thereafter, this bonus increases by an additional +1.

Is there a way to get these to stack legitimately? I'm guessing not, but perhaps I'm missing something.


The way they are written, no they wouldn't stack. You would just use the better bonus.

If you are a DM or your DM decides not to play strictly by the rules, but rather by the intention, then maybe one could allow this combination to get away with giving the allies a +5 to categories that the Aid Allies ability covers and a +4 under other circumstances.

But, again, that wouldn't be strictly following the rules as written.
