I'm sure this has been asked before but a quick search on google didn't reveal anything. And it wasn't mentioned in the Ask Keith Baker FAQ, so I thought I'd ask.

What kind of a bonus is the bonus to physical ability scores from a shifter's trait? Is it unnamed?

If it is unnamed, can bonuses to the same ability score from different traits stack? For example, longtooth and razorclaw traits both give a +2 bonus to Str. If the shifter in question had Extra Shifter Trait feat, and has both the longtooth and razorclaw traits, does this mean while shifted they get a +4 bonus to Str?

Thanks for your help,

It's a nameless bonus. However, the Extra Shifter Trait feat does NOT grant the stat bonus of the extra trait.

Yes, they stack. However, Extra Shifter Trait does no come with the stat bonus.

Unless something was changed, you don't gain the Ability Boost with Extra Shifter Trait. You do gain whatever the other benefits are (Extra Speed, Claws, whatever...).

I can't recall off the top of my head what the bonuses are for the shifter boost.

Edit: Dang Bel and Werebat beat me to it.

Is it unnamed?

Yes, is it? If it isn't named, it's unnamed.
