[QUOTE="drnuncheon, post: 444968, member: 96"] There's actually a stacking FAQ somewhere around. One thing you need to remember - based on your previous question - is that a bonus applies to a specific roll or stat - not a character, item, or anything else. A character could have an enhancement bonus from 10 different sources to 10 different things, and they would not be 'stacking' because they all apply to different rolls. Similarly, an enhancement bonus to strength really isn't stacking with a weapon's enhancement bonus to damage - the enhancement bonus to strength raises your [i]strength[/i] bonus, which is what applies to the attack and damage rolls. Anyway, to answer your question: Bonuses can potentially stack on any roll (except a percentile roll). Bonuses with the same name do not stack, with the following exceptions: [list=1] [*]Dodge bonuses always stack [*]Circumstance bonuses from separate circumstances stack [*]Armor bonus from armor and armor bonus from shield stack [*]Enhancement bonuses from missile weapons stack with enhancement bonuses from their ammunition for to-hit and damage, but not for penetrating DR. [*]Enhancement bonus from magical weapons does not stack with the bonus from masterwork. [/list=1] I know I'm missing some but those are the major ones. J[/list] [/QUOTE]
