#1 musiclovermtv Apr 22, 2008 19:04:38	Hi. Ok, so I am a player for D&D 3.5 and my DM asked me to make a lvl 4 character; because I will be joining his existing group. They have a Cleric, Paladin, Druid, Ranger and Rouge all lvl 4. I picked Bard / Fighter. Both at 2 lvls. Picking feats, I found "Battle Dancer" in the Players handbook 2. . "During a round in which you grand any ally a bonus on attack rolls, damage rolls, or saves with one of the your bardic music abilities, you gain a +2 morale bonus on your attack rolls if you move at least one square before attacking."... MY QUESTION: Does that mean it is +1 for the music and than +2 for the feat for a TOTAL of +3 to attack total? *** My other question is about the lvl 1 bard spell Harmony (IN the Magic of Faerun, and in the Forgotten Realm campaign Setting). "When you play your instrument, sing your song, recite your epic poem, or speak your words of encouragement, you fill your allies with greater confidence than normal. When under the effect of this spell, you grant a +4 morale bonus on saving throws against charms and fear effects and a +2 morale bonus on attack and damage rolls when you use your inspire courage bardic ability."... MY 2nd Question: Does the Harmony effect stack with the original inspire courage attack (+1 music + 2 spell) for a total of +3? 3rd question: Could I do Harmony and than the Battle Dancer Feat? Attack Bonus (+1 music + X feat + Y from harmony)? THANKS!

If the modifiers to a particular roll do not stack, only the best bonus and worst penalty applies. Dodge bonuses and circumstance bonuses however, do stack with one another unless otherwise specified. from the SRD. Morale Bonuses do not stack unless otherwise specified. You take the highest bonus available, rather than adding them together. --S
