Upon reaching 20th level, the shaman becomes the spirit of heaven. She receives a bonus on all saving throws equal to her Wisdom modifier. ...

Yes, I realize, 20th level ability, who really cares. BUT, I'm curious. Since it's been ruled that ability modifiers are their own type, which cannot be stacked, does this mean that this ability really only adds WIS to reflex and fortitude saves? I would venture that's not RAI, but who am I to say.

Ohhh, good question. They based it off the Paladin's Divine Grace, I assume, which used a separate ability from what's used for the saves, so it's iffy. Since that ruling now exists, Wis is already used and Will is their good save, I'd see it difficult to convince GMs to allow it to double up. It's reasonable to assume it only applies to Reflex and Fort.

On the other hand, 20th level capstone, and sometimes it's fun to chew your doublemint gum. I personally would allow it. FAQ'd.
