Cumulative Deception?

[GeoffWatson]

If you have a Deception item and an Improved Deception item, are they better than just the ID item?

Specifically, Backstabbers Gloves and a Ring of Lies (upgraded). Or Backstabbers Gloves and Golden Guile.

From the wiki:

"The Improved Deception on Golden Guile (http://ddowiki.com/page/Golden_Guile) and Ring of Lies (http://ddowiki.com/page/Ring_of_Lies) applies to your currently equipped weapons, and will stack with weapons that already have Improved Deception or Deception. This will give a higher chance to trigger the effect."

Not sure if this covers the instance of two item-based effects stacking (e.g. Backstabbers Glove AND Ring of Lies). Will attempt a simple test later.

Necroing this post because I have this same question now, wondering if Backstabbers Gloves + Golden Guile fully stack, or if ID from accessories overrides Deception from accessories.

AFAIK Deception is a 5% chance, and ID is double that, so together they should produce a 14.5% chance if they stack - but I have no way of reliably testing that, since inanimate objects are immune to Bluff :)
