Baldur's Gate : The Sword Coast Chronicles : NWN2 Persistent World

Do specific enhancement bonuses stack with normal ones - I'm inclined to suspect not, but thought I'd check.

For instance, a wizard has a cloak of protection (+1 deflection AC) and protection vs evil (+2 deflection AC vs evil).

Is his AC against evil creatures +3 or does it only use the higher figure i.e +2 from protection vs evil?

I'd suspect the latter, since that's the way bonuses normally work in DnD, but, y'know, Bugsidian?

No, except dodge to my knowledge.

they dont... but there are some exceptions

from AC dodge stacks up to 20 dodge total
natural AC of the character (dont mistake with natural AC fomr spells like barkskin) stack with other such bonuses, example the armor skin epic feat it ads +1 natural AC, al player races (except Tannaruk iirc) have 10 natural base AC this will make it 11
any sacred type bonus stacks with other bonuses like + 4 enchancement + 4 sacred will give +8
universal saves stack is it on items or spells they do
barbarian rage ability bonuses stack with other bonuses so if you rage for +8 STR i t will stack with +4 from a buls str potion
but watch out as all ability bonuses are caped at +12
but the abilities itself are capped at 50 (score not mod)
SR doesnt stack on items
skills stack freely

Except that there is no sacred bonus mechanically in NWN2. It is always emulated by other means (like dodge AC)

Both skills and saves have a bonus cap of 50 IIRC.

i didnt mean exactly asacred AC bonus... rather ablity ones...

yes know they are capped i just meant thay stack

we could alos mention the saves vs spel has a 20 cap and that spellfract bouses, class bonuses and racial bonuses count towards the cap

so a dwarven ASOC with 20 spellcraft has +10 save vs spells (6 spercaft , 2 race , 2 asoc)

Value is always uses the highest of multiple bonuses of the same type.

So highest of Deflection, Natural, AC and so on. Dodge is the only one that stacks. For what I can remember anyways.
