Does perfect aid stacks with helpful halfling?


Rules Questions


Perfect Aid (Ex): You can effortlessly give aid to your allies, whether that means providing them with help attacking or defending them in the heat of combat. You gain Bodyguard as a bonus feat, and whenever you use the aid another action to provide a bonus on attack rolls or to AC to one of your allies, the bonus you provide increases by 1. This bonus increases by 1 at 4th level and every 5 oracle levels thereafter (to a maximum of +5 at 19th level). It doesn’t stack with other feats or class features that improve the bonus you provide when using the aid another action. This revelation also counts as the Combat Expertise feat, but only for the purpose of meeting the prerequisites of the Swift Aid feat and any feat that lists Swift Aid as a prerequisite.

You see nothing wrong with letting others achieve greatness so long as the job gets done. Whenever you successfully perform an aid another action, you grant your ally a +4 bonus instead of the normal +2.

I'm wondering if they stack, I can't honestly tell


One sets it to +4, the other increases the base value whatever that may be. They should work together just fine.

I thought so too, wanted to make sure what the community thought about it

The part where Perfect Aid says it doesn't stack seems to imply its not supposed to stack, but traits aren't explicitly called out in the non-stacking section.

Yeah, that why I was asking, I'm kinda not sure how it works


It seems to allow magic items which increase aid another. Are traits also different to feats/class features or are they baby feats? I think the former, but I guess the latter's possible.


Traits are traits, not feats.
