Active effects supressed

[crutchy]

Hi guys,

 

I have noticed on a couple of my characters that their active effects are suppressed. I assume this means they are not available but what causes this and how can it be avoided?

 

Many thanks

I trhink suppression is caused when you have two or more items/spells that produce the same effect. I believe higher rank effects trump lower rank effects. Meaning, they do not stack.

^ Indeed.

 

When you have two bonuses to the same thing coming from the same kind of source at the same time, only the higher bonus applies; the other gets suppressed.

 

E.g. Scroll of Valor and and Paladin's Zealous Focus both provide a bonus to Accuracy and don't stack. Scroll of Valor provides the higher bonus and Zealous Focus gets suppressed when both are active at the same time.
