Does SAVE: 1 mean a status bonus to saving throws? Because I have a SAVE: 1 circumstance also and just wondering if they will both stack.

[Moon Wizard]

It depends on the game system.

Assuming Pathfinder 1E, that would apply a circumstance bonus to saving throws of +1. In the Pathfinder ruleset, bonus types will take the highest value, unless they are denoted as stackable. Both "circumstance" and "dodge" are denoted as stackable bonus types in the code.

Its for PF2 so should it be SAVE: 1 status fear

It's for Inspire Courage.

I thought the code for Inspire Courage was ATK: 1 status; DMG: 1 status; SAVE: 1, fear

So I assumed it was a status bonus?

Inspire Courage is indeed a status bonus under PF2 rules.

I would have to test out whether SAVE: 1 is by default a status bonus in FG but I would assume it's an untyped bonus.

We may need the legendary Trenloe to chime in on this one.

[Trenloe]

If you don't specify an effect bonus type then it will be untyped. There are no defaults (because the PF2 rules don't have bonus type defaults) and the ruleset effects code doesn't guess, it needs to be told what bonus type to use.

Oh ok, so would this work:

Inspire Courage was ATK: 1 status; DMG: 1 status; SAVE: 1 status, fear

[Trenloe]

ATK: 1 status; DMG: 1 status; SAVE: 1 status, fear
Looks about right.
