Stacking the shapechanging spells...

Many of the shapechanging spells give unnamed bonuses to disguise checks. As unnamed bonuses I've always assumed they stack. Recently the theory has been put forth that they do not because they overlap.

So what gives? Do they stack or not?

Okay, what about contributing the experience component, and letting someone else contribute the gold and feat?

What if you had the feat?

Lago,

I'm going to have to say "no" for now. If it's a big deal, e-mail me a sample link and I'll check it out.

From the way you describe it, though, I suspect bbboy would whip my ass if I allowed it.
