If a PC is within 10' of two different paladins, would he get the saving throw boost from both protection auras?

 

Spells don't combine but it isn't a spell....

Pretty sure twitter said yes, but I'll have to look for it later.

Q: Can a character benefit from 2 Auras of Protection granted by 2 different paladins? What about if the bonuses differ?
Crawford: You can benefit from more than one Aura of Protection. Add the bonuses together.

In general, "stacking" doesn't exist in 5e.

 

This isn't much of a problem even here (which is arguably the biggest case) - how often do you ever see two high-level paladins in the same party? And how often are they right next to each other?

"Add": 2+3=5 in all circumstances.

"Stack": The same as "add", except there are some circumstances where 2+3=3 and rules to govern what these circumstances are.

 

There are no rules for those circumstances. (See below)

 

Therefore, there is no stacking. Any situation where you might be tempted to say "stack" can instead be adequately described through addition.

 

We have a perfectly good word for addition - it's "addition", and it carries none of the baggage that "stack" contains.

 

There are related rules, such as independent AC equations and spells generally replacing themselves, but those are not referring to addition - they refer to cases NOT where 2 + 2 happen, but rather where A replaces A and X replaces X.
