Effect

Force Conduit

Force Conduit reduces incoming Bludgeoning, Piercing, and Slashing damage according to its stacks.

Stage 3 · Combining effectsEquipment and stacking

It does not reduce Fire or Psychic damage in the same way. Its protective value depends on the attacks you face.

Taking damage at sufficient stacks can trigger a Force blast nearby. Gaining stacks and triggering the blast are separate events, so read the item’s conditions too.

      Core rule

      Stacking

      Core rule permalink

      Repeated effects may grow stronger, last longer, replace one another, or fail to combine.

      Stage 3 · Combining effectsEquipment and stacking

      For conditions such as Radiating Orb, remaining turns also affect strength. In contrast, repeated resistance does not keep halving damage.

      Check whether the effect stacks and whether it has a cap. A shared display name does not mean the values from every variant can be added together.
