NPC precision stacking?

[webdove]

Hi,

If a Grippli Skirmisher has:
Wily Attack The skirmisher deals an extra 1d6 precision damage to flat-footed creatures and creatures afflicted by a poison.

and also had
Knife Fighter deals an additional 2d6 precision damage with weapons from the knife group, and knives gain the deadly d10 weapon property while she wields them.

and they used a knife to attack a target that was flat-footed and had a poison affliction

would they get 1d6 + 1d6 + 2d6 = 4d6 additional precision damage?

I need a Paizo official answer that I can share with the author of the Pathfinder 2 ruleset in Fantasy Grounds. We have been engaging in a discussion about this and he believes my 5th edition instincts to disallow stacking do not apply to precision damage in Pathfinder 2.

Thanks

I would allow stacking of knife fighter and wily attack once each. So wily attack wouldn't get stacked twice just because the target qualified for both reasons

I would say yes. Additional damage of the same type seems to all be combined together rather than just taking the largest one.

Having a Flaming rune, an Energy Mutagen (fire), and Flame Wisp spell all active on the same strike should be dealing a bunch of fire damage. Not be redundant.

Persistent damage of the same type doesn't stack because persistent damage is a condition and conditions with values don't stack.

Unless pointed the opposite the things stacks by default in PF2. The reason why we rarely see too much things stacking it's because most of them are well classified as item/bonus/circumstance or explicitly says that do not stack.

I want to point out in your above example that it wouldn't be 1d6+1d6+2d6

but it would be 1d6+2d6.

You dont apply the same ability (in this case Wily attack) twice simply just because you meet the condition for applying it multiple times.
