Stacking identical artifacts?

[Boron]

Well the forge of the ancients is certanly a seperate halving before the others but a master smith ADDS his bonus to that of the item he is using - 75 % with the hammer of the dwarfen lords for example so this is certainly worth speculating about!

Pickles

(Boron -just wish a Cyclops Hammer in Blahblahblah & lend it to me...)

would that mean that a nataraja with the cyclops hammer and the hammer of the forge lord ( both 50% ) then gets everything for 1 gem , even soul contracts / robes of invulnerability ?

because from pickles statement it seems to me that forgebonuses are added and then multiplied and only the forge of ancients / site boni for forging are separated .

it would declare perfectly why pickles gets the robes for 10 gems .

if it would be all multiplied it would be 15 , not 10 gems .

sure normally this is not relevant BUT when playing on a faerun game where you can wish excessevely in lategame forging robes of invulnerability for 1 earth gem / turn should matter .

You can't have both the Hammer of the Forge Lord and the Hammer of the Cyclops. Try it sometime -- if you wish for one, the other one goes "poof" and disappears.

Two Dwarven Hammers do NOT stack.

Best you can do is Nataraja with Hammer of the Forge Lord/Cyclops Hammer plus a Dwarven Hammer OR Dwarven Smith plus Hammer of the Forge Lord/Cyclops Hammer

...and, of course, Forge of the Ancients as a global enchantment to cut your forging costs even further.
