Anything that isnt an enhancment bonus?

[Devronq]

So spells such as bulls strength and bears endurance give an enhancement bonus to ability scores so they soon become pointless as they dont stack with the enhancement bonus that magic items give. They dont stack right just checking?

Real question are there any spells that give a bonus to an ability score that is a type different than an enhancement bonus so they can stack?

[Hikarizu]

Most magic items give enhancement bonus, just like Animal's X spells. The only types of bonuses that stacks are untyped and dodge bonuses(I think). So, no, enhancement doesn't stack.

Bless (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/spells/bless.htm) and Inspire Courage (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/classes/bard.htm#inspireCourage) both provide morale bonuses and don't stack.

Enlarge Person (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/spells/enlargePerson.htm) stacks with Bull's Strength (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/spells/bullsStrength.htm), because the first bonus is size and the other enhancement

There are lots of things that do what you want. Is there a particular score that you're looking to optimize?

[SowZ]

Snowsong for a Charisma morale boost. Also a significant AC boost.

[JeminiZero]

Elation [BoED] gives Morale bonus to Strength and Dexterity, and so stacks with Bull Strength/Common Magic Items.

Owl's insight (spell compendium) gives a big insight bonus to wisdom and it lasts an hour IIRC.

Which ability score are you trying to improve?

Douglas used a huge list of buffs for his Grinder Team Solar (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=188138). Some of them are Enhancement-Bonuses, others have different types. It also shows which spells have enhancement bonuses that are a lot higher than those usually gained from items.
