[RPG] What feats, traits or equipment can increase the use of Aid Another or its bonuses

equipmentfeatspathfinder-1eracial-traits

I have been working on a build that optimizes granting AC bonuses to allies using actions that are not used often like AOO and immediate actions.

I have been looking for non-class ways of increasing the bonuses granted by Aid Another checks. Using the Bodyguard feat I can use AOO to grant allies a bonus to AC using Aid Another.

So far I have found 3 traits that increase aid another but 1 only grants a +1, another doesn't apply to AC Aid another and the third only applies to family:

Are there other non-class feats, traits, or equipment that can improve a character's ability to Aid Another?

Best Answer

Apart from the traits you listed, there are some more that help with Aid Another checks listed on d20srd.

  • Helpful is strictly better than Helpful (+4 vs. +3), with the downside of being raised by Halflings (via Adopted).

  • Fools for Friends from Second Darkness gives a straight +1 trait bonus to whatever your Aid Another boosts. It stacks with Helpful (since the latter does not grant any named bonuses), But not with any trait bonuses your Ally has, which there aren't many to AC.

  • Inheritor grants a +1 trait bonus to an adjacent ally, but you need to be a Gillman, and the same restrictions as above still apply.
