Stacking Different Kinds of Bonuses of the Same Type

This came up in a Starfinder Playtest, but it's relevant for Pathfinder as well.
If a character gets a +2 Status Bonus to Athletics checks, can they also benefit from a +5' Status bonus to speed?

Yep. Bonuses are specific, so a bonuses to Athletics is different than one to Stealth, Speed, Reflex or anything else so you can have any number of Status bonuses as long as they aren't to the same thing.


Would make Courageous Anthem not nearly as good if you had to choose which one specific thing from the list got the +1 status bonus that it gives.
