Makes sense. The game doesn't limit bonus stacking, just stacking from the same base item. Since that's a weapon and the belt is an item, it wouldn't be a conflict.

But you can't stack belts with torsos and rings...

 

But you can stack deflection from shields, hatchets and rings/cloaks/etc..

you can stack hatchet+shield+ring/cloak/bracer

So if there was a might shield it would stack too? (Is there one?

Afaik, yes, but no. Still, assuming a dwarf (or aumaua), that's a potential 24 Might before taking buffs into effect. Food can add another dependable +2 for 300 secs at a time.

 

I kinda wish that there was a shield that gave +Might now. For the first time ever I kinda want to play a Dwarf Fighter. 26 Might all day every day.

Well if you combine the whore bonuses with resting bonuses from Act 2 through ... 3/4 of the game? then 26 MI is not that hard to obtain. I mean now that I killed the dragon and have the hammer I have +4 only from belt/ring + the hammer and as long as you fight in Od Nua you can still have + 3 MI from resting in defiance bay and visiting the dwarven whore. It's just a shame that the only combined bonuses you can carry to Twin Elms are 1 CO/Athletics (Salty Mast resting) and the dwarven whore for still 2 MI/CO.

Oh, snap, I forgot about the resting bonuses. Either the one in Dyrford or Twin Elms can give you +2 Might, allowing you to maintain 26-28 Might for most of the game, if you want to try it.

 

Too bad that the highest checks in the game are ~19. They really should've included some really high checks and checks (or less options) for sub-10's.

lol

 

Right. So is if the belt is a belt, would the war hammer be a "torso" or a "ring" in this scenario? If it's neither (because it's a weapon), then it would make sense that the bonus stacks. :)

Your post was either a non sequitur or a complete misunderstanding of my post. The latter seemed the more generous interpretation.

It stacks?! I've been ignoring that weapon because I thought it didn't stack by default - never bothered to check. Cool.

Maybe my “misunderstanding“ was based on the fact I don't see belts, armor and gloves (helmets) as “the same base item“. ;)
Yeah, by some coincidence those are all things that you can wear. Crazy that the game prevents attribute stacking with those, too. I can see how thinking of a weapon as "different" would be a difficult stretch.
