Bonuses Stacking

First Post
Thanks for the input on my previous question, it has really gotten my group rereading the rules. Which brings up this question.

On page 275 PHB it describes the different types of bonuses and which stack and which don't. Given there are numerous feats that can increase damage it would seem you are limited to just using one feat.
For example
Two-Weapon Fighting gives +1 dmg to mainhand damage.
Weapon Focus gives +1 dmg with axes.
Brutal Accuracy gives +1d6+Wis mod dmg when using Elven Accuracy.

If someone has those 3 feats they must choose which feat they want the bonus damage to come from. Would this be a correct assumption or am I missing something. The reason I ask is the character generator currently applies the bonus from Two-Weapon Fighting and Weapon Focus to the ability cards.

Only named bonuses do not stack.

TWF is unnamed, so it stacks with anything.

Weapon Focus is a feat bonus, so will not stack with any other feat bonuses.

Brutal Accuracry is not a bonus, it's additional damage (like sneak attack or a ranger's quarry). It will stack with anything.
