Combining skills

I have undertsood that you can't combine skills/traits so that they are used in single occasion. Or so I have been told...

I'm in doubt never the less, and want to ask couple of things.

Is it possible to have Accurate and Strong Arm, so that they both affect passing at the same time?

And how about Claw and Razor Sharp XXX, if yes would they be used as +4 on either or just as +2/+2 on armor and injury.
And extra question, is it desided before rolling the dice for armor if +2 is used on armor or on injury?

Are these thing discussed in LRB, if they are could point me where so that I can argue with my league mates.

All those combos are fine as they involve traits: strong arm is a trait and thus may be used with accurate.

Claw and razor sharps are both traits. I'm pretty sure that combo gives +2/+2 but never having needed to remember I'm not certain.

p 34 of living rulebook :
you can t add bonuses from two or more skills/traits to modify an armour or injury roll

so imho you can combine claw and razor.to get +2/+2

Strong arm of course not strictly speaking being a modifier, so Accurate/Strong Arm is fine.

Rulz guruz !
What we can combine and not combine ?

I'm lost

. Every edition has new rules for combinaison of skills/traits

As neverdodge posted, I thought the only restriction in the Review rules was that you can't combine amor mods or injury mods, so no MB and Claw on the Armor roll and no MB and RSC on the injury, but everything else is kosher.

IIRC the LRB only refers to modifiers to armour and injury, all other skills can stack up fine (Prehensile Tail and DT).

Ok guys
I should read again the LRB

Just to confirm:

LRB pp 34

You can’t add bonuses from two or more skills/traits
to modify an Armour or Injury roll.

There is no other restriction that I noticed.
