A style bonus (SB) is a +1 bonus to hit that attacks can gain when done in a certain way. Many weapons have criteria in which they get SB. If an attack would have SB from multiple sources, it still only gets a +1 bonus to hit. However, SB stacks with other bonuses, such as those granted by proficiency or AV0.
