Does the Spell Focus (Good) from Exalted Deeds stack with Spell Focus (General)

A PC is wanting to stack both, is ther any ruling for this and if not, what is people's gut feeling.

Cheers

However, the Spell Focus from the PHB is an unnamed bonus, so unless the Exalted Deeds version specifies that it does not stack, I would say that it does.

It says it doesn't. So no. It isn't game breaking for it to stack, so you could rule otherwise. They errata-ed it in Complete Divine, and that wording is the most recent version.

01-07-08, 04:39 AM The basic rule of stacking is that "Two unnamed bonuses stack, unless they are from the same source."

"The same source," in this context, means two things with the same name.

The Spell Focus feat is the same feat whether you have chosen (Good), (Conjuration) or any other school. The two bonuses will not stack.
