Stacking[edit]
If I have two separate effects that give percentage-based damage reduction, do they stack, and if so, how? For instance, if I have 10% damage reduction from one source and 20% damage reduction from another source, I could imagine they might stack in any of these ways:
- Take the highest and ignore others (20%)
- Add the percentages (10% + 20% = 30%)
- Multiply the damage that gets through (.9 * .8 = .72 = 28% reduction)
- Add the effective HP increases (1/.9 + 1/.8 - 1 = 1.36 EHP = 27% damage reduction)
It is possible to have at least 3 different percentage reduction effects simultaneously (protection, food, and a class skill), so this seems significant. Felbryn (talk) 18:04, 22 May 2016 (UTC)
