Bonuses of the same type… for different things


Rules Questions


The Sword Scion trait grants you a +1 trait bonus on all attacks and combat maneuvers made longswords and Aldori dueling swords.

The Ancestral Weapon trait grants you a +1 trait bonus on attack rolls with weapons made of cold iron or silver.

Could the two traits stack if the character in question was using a silver longsword? Does the fact that the trait bonus to attack rolls points to different things? Or does the fact that they’re both trait bonuses to attack rolls trump that?

no. The two trait bonuses are to the exact same thing, the attack roll. What they have different are their conditions, but that's irrelevant.

Thanks, Derklord.
