It might be that this was to be assumed from 3.0 (where it was stated that synergy bonuses stacked... implying that they were separate sources).I agree that the strict core rules could be subject to some interpretation here, but it is at least clarified in the 3.5 FAQ:"The text for synergy under the Diplomacy skill on page72 of the Player’s Handbook states: “If you have 5 or moreranks in Bluff, Knowledge (nobility and royalty), or SenseMotive, you get a +2 bonus on Diplomacy checks.” I’massuming that means if a character has 5 ranks in Bluff,Knowledge (nobility and royalty), and Sense Motive thatthe character would receive only a +2 synergy bonus onDiplomacy checks. Or would the character receive a +6synergy bonus (+2 for each)?D&D FAQ v.3.5 22 Update Version: 01/26/07The bonuses listed in the synergy section of a skilldescription are unnamed and so they stack. (There’s no suchthing as a synergy bonus in the current edition of the D&Dgame.) The character in your example would receive a +6bonus on Diplomacy checks."Are you contesting them stacking?</blockquote>
