Wearing 2x Rings of Wizardy -- Bug or Feature?

[rsolow]

My stats only inproved with the 1st ring -- the 2nd one did nothing.

a) Is this a bug or a feature?
b) Does the pattern here hold true for wearing 2x of another item?

[Twan]

a) feature
b) yes

[rsolow]

was this documented in the manual?

[alexti]

a) feature
b) generally no, exceptions are path boosters and resistanse boosters, few other things - it's hard to say what's the exact rule.

[Zen]

All Path and resistance boosters of the same item will not stack, unless you have a 4 slot misc, then you put it in the 1st and 3rd slot and they will stack.

[alexti]

I wonder what happens if cursed commander has amulet of luck in 1st and 3rd misc slot? Is he "lucky" or "neutral"?

[Taqwus]

Curse and luck are orthogonal.

Luck gives 50% chance of escaping HP damage.

Curse gives you a higher chance of an affliction if you're wounded.

They don't cancel each other out.

[Maltrease]

Yes, well maybe with two lucky pendants you would have a 50% of activating the lucky effect on the second pendant! That would be awesome!

[Endoperez]

That doesn't work either, because being lucky is a per unit flag. A unit either has it, or doesn't.

[Nick_K]

You don't need two lucky pendants to have two separate sources of luck. The lucky pendant and shield can be used together. They're different items so you wouldn't even need sone multiple slot trick....

But as Endoperez says, luck is a unit flag and is either on or off. You can no more have 'double luck' than you can have 'double flight'.

The most obvious effect to me of this situation where duplicate items don't take effect is with bags of wine. IIRC having two on one commander only gives the effect of one. If you have two different items that give the supply bonus both work though.
