Sticky's entry carried only DESC, COST and SOURCEPAGE - no BONUS token - so the +4 its own description promises was never applied. An eidolon with Grab and Sticky showed +15 to grapple (CMB +11 plus Grab's +4) instead of +19. Both bonuses are untyped and come from different sources, so they stack: Grab is a universal monster rule granting "+4 bonus on combat maneuver checks made to start and maintain a grapple", Sticky is a separate 1-point evolution from Champions of Corruption granting "+4 bonus on combat maneuver checks to initiate or maintain a grapple", and the Core Rulebook says bonuses without a type always stack unless they are from the same source. Add BONUS:VAR|CMB_Grapple|4, matching how the Grab ability itself and the Grab evolution's pincers rider already do it. CMB only, not CMD - Sticky helps initiating and maintaining a grapple, not resisting one.
