Okay... not sure whether I should ask this here or in the RotR forum, but figured I'd start here. In the AP, the PCs eventually get the opportunity to make Runeforged weapons.
"... a dominant weapon functions as a bane weapon against transmuters..."
Let's say that hypothetically the weapon already has the Bane (Humanoid [Humans]) property. Would these two stack if used against a Human Transmuter? My initial intuition said yes because it's effectively bane targeting two different aspects shared by the same enemy. Now, I'm not so sure. I'm now leaning more toward no because normally, a bane weapon would only be able to affect any given creature once per attack... I think.
Okay... follow-up question: would bane trigger twice during the same attack if the a single weapon had both Bane (Outsider [Evil]) and Bane (Outsider [Chaotic]) while attacking a Demon for example? I would almost certainly rule no to it stacking in this case, but I'm still unsure about the Runeforged weapon and regular Bane.
There's no rush on solving this. My players are almost certainly at least several weeks from creating a Runeforged weapon (unless the phenomenon our group affectionately refers to "swat team" happens... again), but one of the characters is an Inquisitor, so this is likely going to be an issue at some point.

They would not stack, there's even an FAQ for this scenario.
Bane: Can I apply multiple bane special abilities to the same weapon? If so, do their effects stack?
You can apply multiple bane special abilities to the same weapon. For example, you can have a +1 dragon- and fey-bane longsword, which has an increased enhancement bonus and damage against dragons and against fey.
If you have multiple bane effects on a weapon and attack a creature against which more than one bane applies (such as a chaotic- and evil-outsider bane weapon used against a demon), the effects do not stack: the weapon's enhancement bonus is only +2 higher than its actual enhancement bonus, and it only deals +2d6 points of damage against that opponent.
(Compare to fighter weapon training or ranger favored enemy bonuses, both of which say you use the highest bonus if more than one bonus applies.)
