I have been trying to remember if stacking bonuses is a Pathfinder or a a D&D thing.
II have looked through my rule book but can't seem to find anything.
Is it allowable to stack bonuses? Such as two competence bonuses to a save.
And where can I find the reference in the main book?
Thanks

only the highest bonus applies. Untyped and dodge bonuses can stack.
Untyped bonuses, dodge bonuses, racial bonuses, and circumstance bonuses all stack with themselves, but others don't.

It is in the Core Rulebook under Common Terms "Stacking". Pg. 13.
Stacking refers to the act of adding together bonuses or penalties that apply to one particular check or statistic. Generally speaking, most bonuses of the same type do not stack. Instead, only the highest bonus applies. Most penalties do stack, meaning that their values are added together. Penalties and bonuses generally stack with one another, meaning that the penalties might negate or exceed part or all of the bonuses, and vice versa.
Thanks. That was driving me crazy.
