[QUOTE="Benjamin Olson, post: 9781591, member: 6988941"] So on the one hand 5e D&D is pretty explicit when things like this don't stack. On the other hand it is consistent enough in not letting things like this stack that having it stack feels out of keeping with the design philosophy, so this feels like an oversight and generally a counterintuitive result. On the third hand this is not an obscure, gonzo multiclass build; Druid or Cleric taking a one level dip in the other is surely something anticipated by any designers who put the time in to think through stacking feature issus. On the fourth hand 2024 D&D seems to me to have been an oddly rushed product in its final form. Rules as Written: They stack Rules as Intended: They probably don't stack Rules at My Table: They don't stack, unless we as a table just want that character to be [I]the[/I] exposition character, which can be good in some campaigns. Rules if this had been an issue in 2014 D&D: Jeremy Crawford probably would have tweeted that they stack, but you never know. [/QUOTE]
