When playing a child of the night, Tome of Magic page 117, if you cast “Veil of shadow” Spell Compendium page 228, you get 20% miss change for concealment. As a child of night using the “cloak of shadows (SU) ability you can at 4th level use as a swift action you make your outline shadowy and indistinct, as the blur spell for a number of minutes equal to your class level. This grants a 20% concealment miss chances also.

Using both at the same time, i.e. overlapping time frames would you have a total of 20% miss chance, a stacked 40% miss chance or two separate 20% miss chances?

The reason Im asking upfront is to decide on sorcerer spell

Unfortunately they don't stack.

"Concealment Miss Chance
Concealment gives the subject of a successful attack a 20% chance that the attacker missed because of the concealment. If the attacker hits, the defender must make a miss chance percentile roll to avoid being struck. Multiple concealment conditions do not stack."
