Harper tree and artificer stacking?

[Wh070aa]

Harper tree and artificer stacking. Anyone has a idea what is, and what is not stacking? I assume arti spells are not stacking with Harper int to hit/damage stuff, but how does Battle Engineer stuff stack with Harper? Does not list as anti-requisites, but I could not find any info on it.

They are applying bonuses to two different things, so they stack. The BE line adds to hit and damage to specific weapons, while the Harper enhancements add to your general to hit and damage.

The Harper enhancements Strategic Combat I and II mean that you won't have to memorize Insightful Damage or Strikes (unless you want to save the enhancement points by only taking one and making up the difference with a spell).

Does Insightful Damage stack with Strategic Combat II ?

No. Know the Angles will stack with either, though, so that's a net win for arties.

Well that explains that then

Might pull all AP from Harper, go with original design and see that its at again

Using the Harper tree, I've never had higher damage on Needle. My highest normal crit - w/out adrenaline - came in at just over 800 hp damage (w/the normal ones being around 400-500). Highest adrenaline crit is just over 4000 damage.

It's very much worth it!

Don't forget Harper is the only PrE at present which adds Ranged Power; so that + KtA is a pretty good incentive for putting some APs into it if you can.
