Message: <blockquote data-quote="MaesterOlorin" data-source="post: 4767449" data-attributes="member: 83470">Forked from: <a href="http://www.enworld.org/forum/showpost.php?postid=4060612" target="_blank">Wisdom to AC ... twice? </a>  I would encourage simply thinking of the actually source of any bonus, if it comes from the character's will power in one class, divine inspiration another, and awareness in another, then yes while they all come from wisdom, they would and should stack. In this case I see that both classes are based on the oriental motief and similarly both character seem dedicated to avoiding damage throw awareness and withstanding damage or gaining some knowledge from psychic powers or divine insight, the bonues seem to be the same bonus, and an insight bonus at that. Remember a bonus is almost one of the following [sblock]Alchemical:An alchemical bonus represents the benefit from a chemical compound, usually one ingested prior to receiving the bonus. Antitoxin, for example, provides a +5 alchemical bonus on Fortitude saving throws against poison. Armor:    This is the bonus that nonmagical armor gives a character.A spell that gives an armor bonus typically creates an invisible, tangible field of force around the affected character. Circumstance:    This is a bonus or penalty based on situationalfactors, which may apply either to a check or the DC for that check. Circumstance modifiers stack with each other, unless they arise from essentially the same circumstance. Competence:    When a character has a competence bonus, heactually gets better at what he’s doing, such as with the  guidancespell. Deflection:    A deflection bonus increases a character’s AC bymaking attacks veer off, such as with the  shield of faith spell.Dodge:  A dodge bonus enhances a character’s ability to get outof the way quickly. Dodge bonuses do stack with other dodge bonuses. Spells and magic items occasionally grant dodge bonuses. Enhancement:    An enhancement bonus represents an increasein the strength or effectiveness of a character’s armor or weapon, as with the    magic vestment and magic weapon spells, or a generalbonus to an ability score, such as with the  cat’s grace spell.Inherent:  An inherent bonus is a bonus to an ability score thatresults from powerful magic, such as a  wish spell. A character islimited to a total inherent bonus of +5 to any ability score.Insight:    An insight bonus makes a character better at what he’sdoing because he has an almost precognitive knowledge of factors pertinent to the activity, as with the    true strike spell.Luck:  A luck bonus is a general bonus that represents good fortune,such as from the  divine favor spell.Morale:  A morale bonus represents the effects of greater hope,courage, and determination, such as from the  bless spell.Natural Armor:  A natural armor bonus is the type of bonusthat many monsters get because of their tough or scaly hides. An enhancement to natural armor bonus bestowed by a spell (such as barkskin   ) indicates that the subject’s skin has become tougher.Profane:  A profane bonus represents the power of evil, such asgranted by the  desecrate spell.Racial:  Creatures gain racial bonuses—usually to skillchecks—based on the kind of creature they are. Eagles receive a +8 racial bonus on Spot checks, for example. Resistance:    A resistance bonus is a general bonus againstmagic or harm. Resistance bonuses almost always affect saving throws. Sacred:    The opposite of a profane bonus, a sacred bonus relatesto the power of good, such as granted by the  consecrate spell.Shield: Much like an armor bonus, a shield bonus to AC representsthe protection a nonmagical shield affords. A spell that gives a shield bonus usually represents an invisible, tangible shield of force that moves to protect the character. Size:    When a character gets bigger (such as through the effectof an  enlarge person spell), his Strength increases (as might his Constitution).That’s a size bonus.[/sblock]</blockquote>
