        This one may be a bit sketchy, the SRD says circumstances bonus don’t stack, but the feat descriptions in the product say they do. Normally feat bonuses like this are untyped, but it’s a third-party D20 product. I could see that going either way.

          It is typed/named in the source, thus it does not stack. That is a core tenet of the 3.5 rule set. That overrides poor 3rd party understanding/writing.
