View Full Version : Stacking of elemental absorption?

Do various sources of elemental absorption stack multiplicatively?

Say vs. electric damage while blocking:
Energy Sheath 50%, Flickering Steel Ring 47%, Block Energy 30%, Mirrorplate 15% and likely some more I forgot.

Would this effectively be 1-(1-0.5)*(1-0.47)*(1-0.3)*(1-0.15) =0.84 = 84% absorption?

Any other effects I am missing for electrical absorption?

The sources that do stack stack multiplicatively.

I don't know if Mirrorplate stacks with Flickering Ring, but Energy Sheath should, since it's basically an electric version of Fire Shield, that does.

Another thing that should be urgently displayed in the character sheet...

You're also forgetting MRR I guess.
