10-26-07, 06:34 AM By the SRD, the rage str bonus is untyped, so it should stack just fine with an enhancement bonus from an item or spell.

A barbarian can fly into a rage a certain number of times per day. In a rage, a barbarian temporarily gains a +4 bonus to Strength...The bonus from rage is untyped, meaning that it will stack with anything.

10-26-07, 10:03 AM I think in PHB the rage is a moral bonus, but it's not in SRD, so I might have missread the PHB cause the bonus to will is a moral in both the book and SRD. Either way, it stacks.

10-26-07, 11:05 AM When it comes to stacking bonuses, it's easiest to just look at the bonus' type. For example, the str from rage says a "+4 bonus" Meaning it's untyped and stacks with any str bonus not from the same source. Whereas gauntlets of ogre power give a "+2 enhancement bonus" meaning it does not stack with any other enhancement bonus to the same stat, like belt of giants strength for example.

The only named bonus with a type that will ever stack with a bonus of the same type is Dodge. In other words, Dodge bonuses stack with other dodge bonuses. Good luck getting one for str though. Although, that would be amusing, a +1 dodge bonus to str, because it makes no sense at all :P

Circumstance bonuses also stack with other circumstance bonuses, as long as it's from a seperate source.
