quick spell question

[Angcuru]

would casting 2 consecutive bull's strength spells cause them to stack?

 

[Dr. Zoom]

No, they both provide the same type of bonus. They would overlap, however, so you would have the higher bonus.

 

[Angcuru]

ok, then.

 

[Dr. Zoom]

More broadly, this is true of all the ability buffing spells. Nor would they stack with the ability buffing magic items that enhance the same score. For example, the strength enhancement from a Bull's Strength spell does not stack with the strength enhancement from Gauntlets of Ogre Power or a Belt of Giant's Strength.

It's actually true of pretty much all effects.

Always look at the name of the bonus type (Enhancement, Armor, Inherent, etc.). Almost all overlap, rather than stack.

The only exceptions I can think of at the moment are Synergy, Dodge, and unnamed bonuses. There may be others, though.

Armor bonus from shield and armor.

And unnamed bonuses stack with everything but themselves. So if you get the same unnamed bonus twice, it won't stack.
