Life in the shadows & the exp and JP boost skills don't stack. You're better off using life in the shadows because it raises exp and jp in 1 skill.

Also, priest + thief combo debuffs targets + buffs your party at night time, effectively allowing you to deal double damage on the first turn before any actions are taken. There's literally zero reason to not use this pairing for any reason.

Have you tested this to make sure?

The description reads "Equipping multiple characters with this skill will have no added effect". There is no indication that different skills that do similar things don't stack from the descriptions.

I just tested and verified they DO stack

I just fought two identical battles with these guys:
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2940990766

One with and one without the hard work and extra experience skills

With:
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2940990568

Without:
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2940990573

Life in the shadows was on in both cases and both fights were at night

You can see the one with the extra xp and hard work skills active netted both more exp and more jp than the battle without.

Dont worry, his profile is private. Probably will never come back to see if his message was factual or not.
