Expanded Healer's Tools and Battle Medic's Baton Bonuses

[Zaries]

Would using both the Expanded Healer's Tools and the Battle Medic's Baton allow you to add both bonuses on relevant checks (since the Healer's Tools are specific)? I know the Healer's Tools are technically 2 handed, but since they can be retrieved and stowed as part of the action that uses them, would that interfere with having the Battle Medic's Baton? Also, if we take into account the errata note for Battle Medicine, where worn items only need 1 hand to access the necessary parts from them, would that make the difference?

Side note: I'm 99% sure you're not able to use the Healer's Tools bonus to perform Battle Medicine, but I figured I'd ask if that's not the case, since I'm here.

They are both Item Bonus, so no to using both

none of the same named bonuses stack.

so status doesnt stack with status, circumstance doesnt stack with circumstance, and item doesn't stack with item.

Yeah, there's very little in the game that stacks, intentionally.

Circumstances bonus aren't very common. They're not usually something you can orchestrate, just something that is happening around you, outside your control.

Status bonuses are generally the result of beneficial spells being cast.

And item bonuses should be obvious where they are derived from.

Bonuses and penalties apply to checks and certain statistics. There are several types of bonuses and penalties. If you have more than one bonus of the same type, you use only the highest bonus. Likewise, you use only the worst penalty of each type.
