[QUOTE="James Heard, post: 2386339, member: 7280"] I'm saying that if you buy a +1 inherent bonus item and a +5 inherent bonus item, and use both of them, the +1 inherent bonus item gets "lost" because the +1 inherent bonus doesn't stack with the +5 inherent bonus that supercedes it. It's like wearing a +2 enhancement item and a +4 enhancement item, only the +4 enhancement item applies because of stacking rules. When you're making a character and developing them over time sometimes those "lesser" inherent bonus items start looking really good for your primary stats as you can afford them. When you're making an epic character from whole cloth you don't need to expend finite resources on things to "get you to where you're at", only items that apply strictly to the task at hand. That means you're not paying for thousands of potions, wands, and scrolls most of the time either - with inherent bonus items you should pay for the highest bonus you want to apply at the game start. I hope that wasn't as clear as mud. ;) [/QUOTE]
