Norfleet, I pronounce YOU the MASTER!
There are at least a couple bugs here, guys.
Dragon Helmet alone = 50% FR
Charcoal Shield alone = 50% FR
Ring of Fire alone = 100% FR
Burning Pearl alone = 100% FR
Charcoal Shield + Dragon Helmet = 50% FR. [50% low]
Charcoal Shield + Burning Pearl = 100% FR. [Correct if Burning Pearl truly gives "partial" protection, i.e. 50% FR]
Burning Pearl + Dragon Helmet = 100% [Correct if Burning Pearl gives 50% FR]
Dragon Helment + Ring of Fire = 150% [Correct]
Charcoal Shield + Ring of Fire = 150% FR. [Correct]
Ring of Fire + Burning Pearl = 200% FR. [50% high, if Burning Pearl gives 50% FR]
In my previous testing, I was using the Burning Pearl, assuming it gave 100% FR.
Bug #1: I can see why Norfleet was proposing a theory that you can't have two FR's of the same % add -- that would explain the Dragon Helmet + Charcoal Shield result. I'll check various combinations for this later to verify.
Bug #2: Burning Pearl is sometimes worth 50% FR and sometimes worth 100% FR. Bizzarro!
I wouldn't have found this without your specific comment about Charcoal Shield and Ring of Fire, Norfleet. I didn't think it would work at all and was flabbergasted when it did provide the right amount of FR. I had been using the Burning Pearl for that extra +4 attack and thus my error.
