If I have a weapon that my 16th level Inquisitor casts Greater Magic Weapon on, it is now +4. Easy enough.
So while in combat he activates his Bane ability. It increases the enhancement bonus on the weapon by +2. But, is it a +6 weapon or does it peak out at +5 as I though enhancement bonuses (for attack/damage) do?
Thanks.
Bane can exceed the usual bonus cap, yes.
Aura: moderate conjuration; CL: 8th
Price: +1 bonus; Weight: &mdash

Cost: +1 bonus;
DESCRIPTION

Try a half elf
Bane human and bane elf and +3 normal bonus this goes to +7.
That is not how that works.

Not correct. Bane is either activated or not. It does not stack with itself.

Better yet, anger Inquisition inquisitor with a +5 sword with furious and bane applied.
well it appears that half elves will live to fight another day. I suppose by this rationale greater bane does not stack with normal bane.

No. It says "increases to 4d6." not "increases by 4d6".
If it added an additional 4d6 that would be stacking. Instead it just improves on the normal Bane by moving the extra die to 4d6.
