Wil is right:

Types of "bonus'":
- Die Bump/Penalty (eg: d8 weapon die to d10, such as Weapon Mastery T.3)
- Numbered Bonus (eg: +1 or "add your bloodrank", such as Weapon Mastery T.1)
- +Die bonus (eg: Add a d6 to damage, such as Smite Infidel)

Sources of Bonus':
- Spells (from any casting source)
- Equipment (such as from Fine Quality weapons)
- Ally (such as the "Assist Ally" action)
- Talent (such as Weapon Mastery T.1)
- Magic Item (such as Runes)
- Racial (such as the Kelekene bonus to "Wild Assault")
- Skill Ranks (not so much of a 'bonus', but a trained ability)
- Path (listed in the Errata, but can't think of an example off the top of my head)
- Combat Maneuver (such as the +5 to damage from Mighty Swing)
- "Untyped"

As such, if you want you could stack a die bump from a talent AND a spell (as was done with Smite Heretic before being errata'd), but not from two different talents. You could add a +1 from a spell and a Die Bump from a spell as they are different types of bonus'.

Henry and Co.,

Thanks for all the hard work on the errata. There are only 4 unanswered threads under the discussion section. I'm listing them here.

1. Great & light trident – Thrown qualities and range increment? (viewtopic.php?f=58&t=1223&start=0)
2. How do you gain literacy if you start illiterate? (viewtopic.php?f=58&t=1153)
3. Elemental sources – used up and can runes be used? (viewtopic.php?f=58&t=1145)
4. Rune of perseverance – is the armor rune at +10 stamina Fine (T1)? (viewtopic.php?f=58&t=1140)

Official answers in them would be nice to tide them over until the next official errata is released.

Again, thanks a lot for all the work! It's very much appreciated.

With a sweep of his hat,

Paul

I was curious about this as well. I am currently going based off of the entry not the chart, but I could be wrong. Some clarification would be great

I don't think this is totally correct, per the clarification of the stacking bonus on page 12 of the errata. There it spells out that "Ally" includes spells and talents from allies, so you could have one spell boosting your attack bonus that you cast, and one that an ally cast, and they would add - but there is a caveat that you can't have the same spell effect you twice (like benediction of the gods cast by you and an ally). It makes Ally a pretty broad palet. It's nice because it means that if they have a talent or spell, it will probably help you out, but it means that if one has a talent, and one has a spell, that do the same thing for allies - they won't stack.

Greetings everyone!

before I dig into the questions below, just a heads up.. we will be adding this to the errata document and putting out an updated version before the end of the week.

1) the Great Trident should have Thrown (20')
2) Should be Mighty Throw

if you take 1 rank in Linguistics you are fully literate in all the languages you know... keeping it simple.

Elemental sources are not used up unless clearly stated in the spells/talents description.

It should be an exceptional rune, for some reason it was omitted from the runes description.

Any other questions?

What he meant to say was:

If you take 1 rank in Literacy you are fully literate in all the languages you know (that have a written component)...

There is no skill called Literacy. Linguistics?

Yes. What about the Light Trident? I'm guessing it also should have the Thrown quality. Is it also 20'?
