Talk:Germain's Character Sheet

Do synergy bonuses stack? I was under the impression that they didn't. -Slitherrr 12:09, 11 November 2009 (EST)

A little research suggests they don't as of 3.5. Booo. -Slitherrr 12:10, 11 November 2009 (EST)

Actually, scratch that. It looks like it went from being a "synergy bonus" to an "unnamed bonus", so despite the vague wording of the synergy bit in the skill, it evidently does, indeed, stack. -Slitherrr 12:13, 11 November 2009 (EST)

I am pretty sure they stack based only on the few character optimization posts I've read. Those nerds would have seen a rules violation from a mile away. That said, I think they shouldn't. Syn bonuses are definitely unbalanced and heavily abusable in 3.5, especially around diplomacy. I wouldn't abuse them like I have except that I self-identify as a munchkin and I feel no obligation to violate my lifestyle. -Msallen 13:03, 11 November 2009 (EST)

Diplomacy is impossible to unbalance because you can't talk your way out of a knife to the back. -gm
