additivity of spell penalties

[earcaraxe]

Does - for instance - the defense maluses from multiple instances of spirit grips add together?

[RazanMG]

No. The same goes for talents and other powers unless stated otherwise. Only biggest works.

Need to be different sources = different Name for spell, talent, power to add up bonuses / penalties.

[Telarus]

Correct. One thing to note about overlapping durations. The highest effect applies only until its duration expires, then the other effect takes over.

Minor, but it comes up when you re-buff party members before the last one wore off.
