Competence bonus to saves

[brian14]

Putting Resistance ritual (22 funerary tokens and 4 Lightning-split soarwood) onto a jewelry gives you +1 competence bonus to saves. Is there anything else that gives competence bonus to saves -- and thus does not stack with Resistance ritual?

[Kinerd]

The only things that give a stated competence bonus to saves are the Inspire Greatness song, the Stalwart Defender stances, the Tenser's Transformation spell, and the Hezrou cookie. Usually the alchemical bonuses stack with everything, though. I happen to have some hezrou cookies on a character with the alchemical ritual, so I can verify that part for sure later tonight.

Well, what did you find out?

The Hezrou cookie definitely stacks with the alchemical ritual.

Great, thank you!

So as soon as I put Tier I Negative on my greensteel blank goggles, I will also put Resistance ritual on it. Well worth wearing even as Tier I.
