Dwarven Defender and Barbarian (rages) stack?

Do the barbarian rage and Dwarven Defender defensive stats abilities stack?

So would a 1st level Barbarian/1st level Dwarven Defender (Forget Reqs) get a total of +6 Str, +8 Con, +2 On all Ref and Fort Saves, +4 on Will saves, +4 AC, -2 AC?

Since the bonuses are nameless bonuses, do they stack?

And do damage reduction bonuses stack?

They would, except that you can't both be a stance-taking dwarven defender and a raging barbarian at the same time. Lawful barbarians lose the ability to rage, and non-lawful dwarven defenders lose the ability to take their stance.
 

Dwarven Defender

Where in the DMG does it state that Non-Lawful Dwarven Defenders lose the ability to use a Defensive Stance?
 



It stated it in the 3.0 DMG. That sentence got lost in the 3.5 version, but will almost certainly be added back in the errata. They have already re-produced the sentence in the 3.5 Complete Warrior book, so it looks like that is a requirement that is meant to be permanent.

LOL: Rage + Defensive Stance. That sure looks funny.

Look at that dwarf, how he furiously goes absolutely nowhere! :D

Hey, if you put all that effort to pick up a PrC with a cool ability, and then everyone who fought you just stayed out of melee range and peppered you with ranged weapons while you were stuck in one place, you'd be raging too ;)
 

I like how the Rage lowers the AC and the Dwarven Defender raises it some. It's nice to have things balance out that way.
