Assuming a player finds a way to do so, can they stack multiple instances of the same template?


Rules Questions


I remember there is one mythic item that lets you summon creatures with the advanced template. There is also a boon for one of the magic schools where you can summon a creature with the advanced template by adding a material component. Could you stack this?


In answer to the thread title, if you could find a way that let you stack templates(typically by something saying they specifically do), then yes.

In answer to the specific question in those circumstances, probably not (I don't know the specific details of the item and ability).


There isn't much to work with rules wise. In theory, since each template is added sequentially and not simultaneously, you'd be adding the advanced template to a creature with the advanced template and not adding the template twice. Since templates don't add bonuses, I wouldn't expect them to follow the bonus stacking restriction on bonuses from the same source.

Some templates have requirements that would prevent them from stacking with themselves, you can't add fiery template to a fire type creature for example. But advanced is pretty bare bones and doesn't have any requirements.

I'd probably limit it somehow at a table I was running, but I don't see any restrictions in the rules themselves. I could be missing something.
