Multiclass Movement Bonus Stacking

Tyrol

First Post
How do class feature movement bonuses work with multiclassing? Barbarians, Monks, the Dervish PrC in Complete Warrior, and the Infiltrator class in the Kalamar Player's Guide (3.0) all recieve movement bonuses. (Ignoring the unlikilood of any of these combintions) How do these stack? Do all stack, just some, or none? What other Classes or PrCs recieves movement bonuses?

Though in their descriptions, all seem to have the same name ("Fast Movement (Ex)"), some of them seem like they would stack to me.

The barbarian bonus is unnamed and appears innate or inherent.

The monk bonus is labeled as enhancement.

The dervish description specifically notes it is an enhancement bonus, also mentioning the haste spell under the thousants cuts ability "...the bonuses provided by the spell [haste] do not stack with the bonuses granted by the class."

The infilitrator bonus is unnamed, though it would technically be 3.0 material (not 3.5), so I'm not sure how I'd handle it. It does scale up with additional levels (+20 ft at 8th level, and +30 at 14).

So, my best guess would be that the Barbarian bonus *would* stack with the monk OR dervish bonus for sure... and the dervish and monk bonus wouldn't stack with each other... but I'm not really sure how the Infiltrator would come into play.

Anyone care to enlighten me? :)

As a bonus/unrelated question... could an ally of a Dwarven Defender (PrC) bull rush him to move him while he is in his defensive stance, and then maintain that stance?

The last discussion on the Kenzerboards ended mostly in the "it stacks" camp. The bonus isn't that huge to let it not stack...

Edit: Have a look at the 3.5 update sheets by yours truly... the infiltrator bonus stacks with all other bonuses.

Ah, thanks! Haha, I forgot I had that update sheet; even on my computer already. Whoops.

Are my other conclusions above correct? (To recap: )

Barbarian: Stacks with anything(?)

Monk/Dervish: Both enhancement bonuses (doesn't stack with monk/dervish, haste, longstrider, etc.)

Infilitrator: Stacks with anything. (already confirmed)

And does anyone know any other class or PrC with a movement bonus?
