Re: Item stacking rant
Oh, try Late Era R'lyeh on a huge map if you want to be wondering how you're going to feed the hordes... 
Think the one case where it's not really clear how multiple items interact would be the (arguably odd...) case of a commander bearing multiple shields. I'm not sure that anybody would ever field a commander with both Aegis and Barrier, but if somebody did, I have no idea how the blocking rules would work.

Re: Item stacking rant
The description for the heart, as i remember it(could be wrong) states thata single commander may have multiple magic hearts, not multiple hearts of life.(ie a cystal heart and the heart of life)

Re: Item stacking rant
The shields wouldnt be the same shield so they both might work. Plus many of the factors would fall into the formulas which figure out a units armor and defense and chance to parry etc etc. Im not sure if those formulas take into account WHICH item is in use.
Someone could probably run some tests on the minim-map battle simulator. (someone other than me, Im not that good at tests)

The petrification and immunities will work as normal, but that's not part of the blocking rules.
For any commander with two different shields, both shields add their parry value in the stat screen (better use a horned helmet or something to avoid the useless kick). So I assume two enchanted shields add +14(-2) to defence. I wonder what protection value is added when an attacker hits the shields though. |
