Title: Armor and Toughness Powers Stacking?
Post by: citadel97501 on August 13, 2012, 12:53:36 AM

Hello all,

I was just wondering if there is a rule that prevents armor from stacking with the armor that toughness powers provides?

Armour doesn't stack unless it explicitly says it does.

This is true.  It's not explicitly stated, but you always take the best armor value and do not stack them.  Generally, bonuses in Fate do not stack unless stated otherwise.

Reference supporting the above:

Do weapon ratings stack? How about armor?

No, they don’t (unless a power says otherwise). You take the highest rating. That said, not all armor protects against all types of damage, so multiple forms may get you broader coverage without providing a numerically higher armor rating.
