    Default Death knell

    It seems that death knell bonuses are untyped - so they should stack with each other.
    So grab a wand of death knell and line up some goblins.
    Any good ideas that could be accompliced by that method ?
    ( the first thing accompliced would be of course a bunch of dead gobbos)

    I though same-name sources didn't stack, regardless of type?

    Here, all of the bonuses come from different castings of Death Knell.

    act simultaneously, and if one ends first, the other one continues to
    operate for the remainder of its duration. Likewise, two haste spells
    do not make the creature doubly fast.
    It goes on to talk about typed bonuses not stacking with themselves even if from different sources.

    Greater Consumption Field is like turbo-charged Death Knell radiation, I seem to recall. Persisted for cheese and laughs.

    The Necrocarnate gets more incarnum by killing foes, so starting the day with a wanton slaughter is an excellent idea.

    The Thrallherd doesn't benefit from slaughtering the masses (unless you can loot them), but is an excellent provider of them.
