And he can fatigue out in approximately three battle rounds?

...damn you.

Actually, fatigue comes from "action". Number of weapons you use in one "attack" doesn't affect encumberance at all. Amount of fatigue you get per turn of melee equals "melee encumberance", even if you have 15 attacks such as with the Bow of War. If you have quickness, it's twice that every turn.

I like to put the Sickle whose crop is pain on four armed types with every quickness item I can forge. Generates 20 to 30 death gems every battle. Of course you have to remember to transfer them to another commander after every battle, which does seem to pose a few problems for me.

Every quickness item you can forge would be Boots of Quickness, then? Because, you know, quickness from spells and items doesn't stack with itself. It stacks with heroic quickness if you get a non-pretender four-armed guy to the Hall of Fame and get lucky, but that's about it as far as Quickness stacks.

But the problem is that I did not know quickness doesn't stack. Whoops.

Which brings the question, what doesn't stack?

[Endoperez]

Effects don't stack with themselves, and duplicate items don't stack their special effects (unless you abuse a bug). So two identical Staves of Elemental Mastery won't produce +2 to elements, but different ones will.

As for finding which items give identical effect with each other or a spell, check the manual. Marble Armor and Boots of Stone both have the effect "Stoneskin", so that won't stack with Stoneskin the spell.

I guess it's just me but I really like those extra life bottles. It's just takes away a lot of stress knowing that my carefully developed SCs need to be killed twice. And the anti-aging quality is a nice bonus as well.

Must be the best birthday gift ever.
