Question about stacking spell effects

[Talon_Sky]

Do the effects of Heroism and Inspire Courage stack? Specifically, the morale bonus to attack and damage?

If not, would Heroism still be worth having as a 'backup' Inspire Courage?

[WeaselKing]

Heroism does not have a damage bonus.

I never have had Heroism on my bard as it comes in Pot form. I play a battle bard warchanter. I give some buffs, but if it comes on a pot, you had best have it yourself, or live w/o. :-D

Heroism will last longer than you songs... so is a nice back up within the song. Also give +2 to your Skills. Keep Heroism until you can get Good Hope. Good Hope is a 'better' version of Heroism... and it's a Mass Spell.

Heroism:
Imbues a single ally with great bravery and morale in battle, gaining a +2 morale bonus on attacks, saves, and skill checks.

Inspire Courage:
Activate this bard ability to rally your companions, giving them a +1 morale bonus to saves against fear effects and a +1 morale bonus on attack and weapon damage rolls before enhancements. At 8th level, and every six bard levels thereafter, this bonus increases by 1. Requires 3 trained ranks (not total mod) of the Perform skill to use.

They're both Morale bonuses, so no, the attack bonus will not stack. Heroism does not have a damage boost, however, so IC will boost that despite it's Attack bonus getting overwritten by Heroism's more powerful effect.
