Thanks!

The long awnser is: Bonuses with the same name usually never stack. The only exception is dodge bonuses which do stack.

Deflection bonuses do not stack.

Not entirely true.

Circumstance bonus stack if arise from different circumstances, and unnamed bonus stack if given by different sources.
