Stacking Bonuses on different stats affecting the same roll


Rules Questions


If I have two bonuses that are the same type, morale for example, and they affect different stats of my character, would they both apply on something that uses both stats.

For example, rage gives a morale bonus to strength and the rage power gives a morale bonus to an attack roll. Would both of these apply to a melee attack roll?

Another example, is the morale bonus to will saves while raging stacking with the benefits of superstition, which is a morale bonus against saves against spells and SLAs.

It seems like the answer to the first is yes, or else surprise accuracy is almost entirely useless. At level 20 it gives a +6 bonus while the strength bonus will already give a +4 bonus during rage. By the same reasoning, I would expect the second case to also stack but I was told my GM that superstition did not stack with the base will save bonus from raging, which made sense to me.


A morale bonus to saves and a moral bonus to will saves is the same thing. If you had a morale bonus to wisdom and a morale bones to saves, they would stack.

A moral bonus to strength and morale bonus to an attack roll stacks.

An enchantment bonus to Natural Armor, Shields, Dexterity, and Armor all stack at once.
