Is Adding Cha to your Saves a Bonus?


Rules Questions

Paizo Employee Developer

The rules to Chakra say the monk performs the saving throws "adding his charisma modifier to each save". Is this a special modifier to the saving throw, or just another untyped bonus to the saving throw equal to your charisma modifier? To be more specific, does this stack with Divine Grace?


It would not stack with divine grace, both are untyped charisma bonuses.

Edit:
It mentions modifier, a positive modifier would be a bonus, while a negative modifier would be a penalty.

Do ability modifiers from the same ability stack? For instance, can you add the same ability bonus on the same roll twice using two different effects that each add that same ability modifier?

No. An ability bonus, such as "Strength bonus", is considered to be the same source for the purpose of bonuses from the same source not stacking. However, you can still add, for instance “a deflection bonus equal to your Charisma modifier” and your Charisma modifier. For this purpose, however, the paladin's untyped "bonus equal to her Charisma bonus (if any) on all saving throws" from divine grace is considered to be the same as "Charisma bonus (if any)", and the same would be true for any other untyped "bonus equal to her [ability score] bonus" constructions.

They all have Cha added to your saves for purposes of opening and maintaining your Chakras.

To quote the rules: ""adding his charisma modifier to each save""

I see. The saves for using the Chakras. I somehow thought you were talking about a Chakra granting Cha Mod to your saving throws as a benefit like an Occult version of Divine Grace. Thanks.
