There seems to be a lack of items that stack on armor such as runes, ascalon/knights armor, etc.

1. For instance there is no need to have a whole set of knights armor to gain the advantages of just having one piece.

2. Rune of Marksmanship +1 and another rune of the same doesn't give you +2. Or Major Rune vs. a Minor rune. Minor rune is the same.

If I have a mask +1 marksmanship and I go to put a rune of minor marksmanship on my leggings it would be great if the system said to me "This upgrade will have no effect because you have another upgrade items of similar power on another piece of armor. Continue? (y/n)?" or something like that.

I hate finding out I doubled up on something that I already had because I get excited about a find, or forget about something I had. I understand I should be "less stupid", but making things more user-friendly is always a bonus.

Make sense?

1)having the whole set does offer some difference. not a huge amount but some. Just like having one piece infused vs all.

2)yep only the strangest instance of the rune applies

3)nope the mask and the rune stack. its how i can get my necros blood magic up to 17. 12 base scar(13), major rune(15), near constant awaken(17). actually have and item that gives em a 20% chance to cast blood at +1 too.

if you need to think of it like d&d 3rd ed. only the strongest bonus of a type works. so 3 +1 rune bonus don't stack but a rune a mask and an item will.

Headgear does stack with runes, the max you can get in a stat is 12 base + 1 from headgear + 3 from a Superior rune.

I was mad when I tried to stack a major and minor rune! I support this idea.

Headgear bonus w/ rune will stack?? I swear I drag/dropped that mask off and the bonus didn't change. I'll try again.

Yeah, in general, if something will prove to be a useless mode I think it should warn you (like it does when you put one skill rune on top of another). Since the change becomes pretty much "final" once applied (unless you salvage it to regain some pride

).
