Magic Bonuses - What Stacks, What Doesn't - Wids - 05-21-2015
Some time ago, we had a brief chat about whether or not Vampiric Regeneration and Regeneration can coexist (like if a weapon were enchanted with both), and as it was pointed out, they can coexist because they are two different enchantments. So how would that apply to other bonuses, like those on certain weapons and armors?
Example 1: Benzo's Luck is magic padded armor. It has an Armor Class +1 enhancement, but it also has Armor Class +3 vs. Chaotic and Armor Class +3 vs. Evil. So if someone wearing Benzo's Luck went toe-to-toe with a Chaotic Evil orc, would the armor's AC bonus be +3, +4, +6, +7 or something else?
Example 2: One of my characters has a ranzomized magic sickle which has Enhancement +3 vs. Evil and Enhancement +3 vs. Undead. If she attacked a typical Chaotic Evil ghoul with the sickle, would its bonuses to Attack and Damage be +3 or +6?
I'd probably be able to figure these out for myself if only the battle spam didn't race by at Mach 1. You don't get to see the enemy's target AC either, so it might take a while to whittle down what the enemy needs to hit you, given the randomness of the rolls. So what do you think?

It would be +3, which makes bonuses versus race/alignment less than ideal unless you end up with a +5 enhancement vs undead/orc/human weapon.
+3 again.

As an aside to this, the treasure system should now occasionally be generating +4 items against specific alignments/races. This was an unannounced addition back when I added general +3 items to the high treasure drops. I know I had one person already ask me if they won the lottery when they picked up a couple of those items.

I've seen at least one +4 vs. something.

I find +4 crap all the time.

And Corella just sold off a Dwarven War Axe +4 vs. Good last night. Don't worry, Thayan; they're spawning. :)
