Alchemical and Enhancement bonuses stack?

Do an alchemical mutagen bonus to natural armor and an enhancement bonus from a bark skin potion stack?

IE +2 from mutagen and +2 from barkskin potion for +4 natural armor bonus.

Yes. Bonuses of different types stack with each other. Untyped bonuses always stack.


Yes, enhancement and alchemical bonuses stack.


No they don't stack they are both natural armor bonus, the only armor bonus that stacks is dodge bonus, maybe the sources are diferent but the kind of bonus is the same.
It's the same with a heavy shield and Shield spell
or chainmail and mage armor, they fit in the same category, don't stack


they do stack because the bark skin spell stacks with other bonuses to Natural AC bonus.

Except that Mage Armor and Shield provide armor and shield bonuses, not an enhancement bonus to those values. Barkskin won't stack with an amulet of natural armor, but it will stack with mutagen.

No, it would be like a shield with a magical enhancement to the shield bonus.
