SUPPRESSION RULES

2) The stacking rules should apply in all cases, so if you have two active effects, one granting +1 and one granting +2, the latter will apply and the former will be suppressed. In the case of negatives, it takes the lowest rather than the highest. So if you have the following modifiers to, let's say Might:

* Active/Modal: +1, +2, -1, -1, -3
* Weapon: +1
* Equipment: +1, +2, -1
* Passive: +1

You would have: +2, -3, +1, +2, -1, +1 = +2

Bonuses from Passive Talents and Abilities all stack.
