stacking tome of understanding with periapt of wisdom & owls wis

[Sir ThornCrest]

where would I find the info on stacking the 3 above wisdom "boosters" so I can find out if any two or all three are "stackable"...

look at what the bonuse are called. IIRC the tome stacks with either of the others but not with itself, but the other two do not stack with each other but do with the tome. .

Like Crothian said:
- Tome of Understanding: "inherent bonus".
- Owl's Wisdom & Periapt of Wisdom: "enhancement bonus".
Pick one of each bonus type.

See descriptions of spell in PHB, items in DMG, or SRD. See standard stacking rules (only one of each type of bonus) in either PHB, DMG, or SRD.

The Tome of Understanding provides an Inherent bonus to Wisdom. An Inherent bonus is a permanent bonus.

The Periapt and the Owl's Wisdom spells both provide enhancement bonuses to Wisdom. This is, generally, a temporary bonus. They do not stack with each other. Thus, anyone who is wearing a +4 periapt or better will get no use from an Owl's Wisdom spell.

As a side note one of my players claimed an anti magic area such as the spell or a beholders cone would nullify all three of above he then went on to say that all three of above stack as does the same items/spells for the other attributes, int, cha etc
I said show me the info and he has yet to do so...being without books I thought I should check in with the rule forum, thanks

I may be wrong - but I am pretty sure antimagic would have no effect on an inherent bonus.

 

[demiurge1138]

Anitmagic has no effect on an inherent bonus.

Demiurge out.

 

[Crothian]

What those two guys said.

 

[BSF]

Just piping in to lend weight to all the above. They are all correct.

Thorncrest,

Your players seem to have you wrapped round their fingers. If you're going to DM you really must buy at least the core books so that you can properly prepare for your games otherwise you're going to keep being cowed and manipulated by your players who have obviously worked you out as a soft touch.

I would also again strongly recommend that, after you get the core books, you start a campaign at 1st level to give you a chance to learn things properly.
