Honestly folks,
there's a lot of grey areas in the rules, but 'hidden loyalty bonuses' is
not one of them - Joe Dever was quite explicit about it in the Newsletters!
(I'll concede it was confusing as hell before he said so - I was
convinced I was cheating before that!)
It is true that the numbers added to your basic CS and EP rolls in the GM
series are slightly more than than the Lore Circle bonuses,
but that is offset by the special items, backpack potions and general
prior knowledge of stuff that the player might have.

Or, conversely, it would be like using knowledge from GCSE and A Level
courses simultaneously. Which makes perfect sense!

...except that you are already getting a +3 to using a Bow with
Weaponmastery right from the start of the Magnakai books:
