Does a benevolent weapon stack with a benevolent armor?


Rules Questions


For the sake of argument, if you have a +3 benevolent armor and a +3 benevolent weapon and you use the aid another action or do it through bodyguard feat, do the bonuses stack?

Is it +3 to aid another or +6 to aid another?

It would appear obvious that they don't because they would provide similar type of bonuses, but do benevolent armor/weapons actually have a bonus type or they don't , hence maybe possible to stack? (the bonus is based on the enhancement value, but they are not enhancement bonus I think)

thanks


The enchants do different things: Benevolent Weapons provide your weapon's enhancement bonus to attack rolls when using Aid Another for that purpose.

Benevolent Armor provides your armor's enhancement bonus to armor class when using Aid Another for that purpose.

So only Benevolent armor affects the bonus granted by Bodyguard. I'm not sure what the impact of dual wielding benevolent weapons would be, but my guess is that they would not stack. But I could be persuaded otherwise.


I'd say that the bonus they grant are an enhancement bonus, and thus two benevolent weapons wouldn't stack. But I can't give a definitive answer.

Akerlof gave a brilliant explanation of why Benevolent Armor and Benevolent Weapon wouldn't stack with each other (they effect different things).


Darn...miss the attack roll part for the benevolent weapon...thanks for the correction...

totally makes sense now!!
