    Default Aptitude Weapon Question

    No, I do not want to abuse the ability horribly thank you.

    What I want to know is if I took weapon focus with multiple different weapons (say 3) would I get an extra +3 on attack rolls with an aptitude weapon by being able to apply all of them on it?

    No. It's the same feat, even if you made different choices each time. The same feat won't stack with itself.

    Effect: A wielder who has feats that affect the use of a particular type of weapon, such as Weapon Focus, Greater Weapon Focus, Weapon Specialization, or the like, can apply the benefits of those feats to any weapon that has the aptitude quality.
    Are you sure?

    Even though it's an untyped bonus, the feat's text specifically states that it doesn't stack with itself.

    Choose one type of weapon. You can also choose unarmed strike or grapple (or ray, if you are a spellcaster) as your weapon for purposes of this feat.

    Prerequisites
    Proficiency with selected weapon, base attack bonus +1.

    Benefit
    You gain a +1 bonus on all attack rolls you make using the selected weapon.

    Special
    You can gain this feat multiple times. Its effects do not stack. Each time you take the feat, it applies to a new type of weapon.

    A fighter may select Weapon Focus as one of his fighter bonus feats. He must have Weapon Focus with a weapon to gain the Weapon Specialization feat for that weapon.

    Let me tell you, this is probably the one abuse of Aptitude Weapon I'd allow, RAW be damned.

    And even without this clause, it still wouldn't stack anyway. Bonuses from the same source, as a general rule, do not stack (like Urpriest said).
    It's been a bit, GitP. If you're reading this, you're either digging through old stuff, or I've posted for the first time in forever.

    If you want to stay in touch, reach out to me on twitter (same username).

    The best answer is always to ask your DM.
    Unless you're the DM, in which case you should talk to your players.
