Inherent bonus

A bonus to an ability score, skill, or other statistics, resulting from powerful magic, such as a wish.
 * Multiple inherent bonuses do not stack, so only the best one applies.
 * Inherent bonuses cannot be dispelled.
 * Inherent bonuses (to ability and skill) count for feat prerequisites, such as Power Attack or Single Weapon Fighting.

Reincarnation
All inherent bonuses are kept with any form of reincarnation. Skill and ability bonuses apply gradually as you level up (+1 and +2 at 1st level, +3 at 3rd, +4 at 7th, +5 at 11th, +6 at 15th, +7 at 19th, and +8 at 22nd).

On the character sheet:
 * You can see your current active bonus by hovering over an ability score or skill.
 * For abilities, you can check your total inherent bonus on the Feats tab under special feats.
 * For skills, there's no way to display the total inherent bonus for low-level characters.

History
Inherent bonuses on equipable items no longer exist as of Update 14.


 * Reinforced Plating items were changed to a 10% insight bonus to fortification.
 * Inherent resistance items, were changed to an insight bonus for the +10 version and a competence bonus for the +5 version.
