gondsman buffing

Couple queries re potentially applicable buffs on a gondsman.

Tymorra's Luck rabbit: +4 natural AC bonus. Will that stack with the Gondsmans natural +5?

Bodyguards +2 AC @lvl4 deflection bonus aura, will that stack with clerics Shield of Faith buff applied to Gondsman?

Thaumaturge feats: I'm guessing as gondsman is a construct and not technically 'summoned' none of the feats apply? mainly Augment +4/+4

I do not know if augment summon works, as I have a thaum/gond. So no baseline to work off of.

But the gondsman works like a companion and I know for the druid augment summon does not work. Easiest way to tell on our own, is to get Beckon the Frost and if it works, then it works. But that does not work on druid companion either.

As far as buffs. I have buffed my gondsman to the gills as a wizard. They all appear to work including spiderskin (+5 natural AC). When I have a a Firre out, the gondman receives the +1 magic damage aura. So I do not see why auras would not work on it.

Just reconfirmed. Spiderskin does work still, and gondsman at level 7 can have a 43 AC with haste, cats, IMA and Spiderskin at "Default" mode.

Thanks for checking that Hawke.

So unsure whether the bodyguards aura value will stack or not with deflection AC spell. i.e. potentially (5 +2 )+7 Deflection AC.

But yeh, potentially tymoras will apply? Good to know.


Steve... No just no no no.

Deflection doesn't stack, including from bodyguard aura.
