Stacking AC of buckler and dueling cape

[Mourka]

I'm new to the game and not sure of proper wording, but I was wondering if you could use the +1 AC of the buckler and the +1 AC of the dueling cape together. The rule on buckler says that, "You can Raise a Shield with your buckler as long as you have that hand free or are holding a light object that’s not a weapon in that hand." The rule on the dueling cape says that, "You can pull a dueling cape you're wearing from your shoulder and wrap it around your arm with an Interact action. While wielding the dueling cape this way, the cape uses that arm and hand, and you can't hold anything else in that hand. While you do so, you can spend an action to hold it in a protective position, giving you a +1 circumstance bonus to AC... " In my mind, raising a shield and holding the cape in a protective position are the same and there's no conflict with holding the cape in the same hand as a buckler. Any thoughts?

That's a fairly simple one, actually, these are both circumstance bonuses and do not stack together although you COULD still do both in order to benefit from the Deception bonus to Feint though both of your hands will be occupied with the task until the start of your next turn and you wouldn't be able to wield a weapon with those hands.

Could work fine for an Unarmed specialist though.

And this is something that you will need to get used to with the PF2 system. It is balanced around remembering which bonuses can be used together and which can't. So it is a good idea to always list the bonus type along with its bonus amount.

So if you list the Buckler as providing a +1 circumstance AC bonus instead of just a +1 AC bonus, then it is easier to see that it won't stack with the +1 circumstance AC bonus from the dueling cape or the +2 circumstance AC bonus from standard cover.
