[QUOTE="MrMyth, post: 4529369, member: 61155"] There are a couple areas that imply it, though I don't think I found anything that states it in an entirely clear fashion. PHB page 278 says the following: "[B][FONT=MentorSansStd-Bold][SIZE=2][FONT=MentorSansStd-Bold][SIZE=2]The Same Type of Ongoing Damage: [/SIZE][/FONT][/SIZE][/FONT][/B][FONT=MentorSansStd-Bold][SIZE=2][FONT=MentorSansStd-Bold][SIZE=2][/SIZE][/FONT][/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=MentorSansStd-Light][SIZE=2][FONT=MentorSansStd-Light][SIZE=2]If effects deal ongoing damage of the same type, or if the damage has no type, only the higher number applies. [/SIZE][/FONT][/SIZE][/FONT][I][FONT=MentorSansStd-LightIta][SIZE=2][FONT=MentorSansStd-LightIta][SIZE=2]Example: [/SIZE][/FONT][/SIZE][/FONT][/I][FONT=MentorSansStd-LightIta][SIZE=2][FONT=MentorSansStd-LightIta][SIZE=2][/SIZE][/FONT][/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=MentorSansStd-Light][SIZE=2][FONT=MentorSansStd-Light][SIZE=2]You’re taking ongoing 5 damage (no type) when a power causes you to take ongoing 10 damage. You’re now taking ongoing 10 damage, not 15."[/SIZE][/FONT][/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=MentorSansStd-Light][SIZE=2][FONT=MentorSansStd-Light][SIZE=2][/SIZE][/FONT][/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=MentorSansStd-Light][SIZE=2][FONT=MentorSansStd-Light][SIZE=2]"[B][FONT=MentorSansStd-Bold][SIZE=2][FONT=MentorSansStd-Bold][SIZE=2]Overlapping Durations: [/SIZE][/FONT][/SIZE][/FONT][/B][FONT=MentorSansStd-Bold][SIZE=2][FONT=MentorSansStd-Bold][SIZE=2][/SIZE][/FONT][/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=MentorSansStd-Light][SIZE=2][FONT=MentorSansStd-Light][SIZE=2]If a target is affected by multiple powers that have the same effect but end at different times, the effect with the most time remaining applies."[/SIZE][/FONT][/SIZE][/FONT][/SIZE][/FONT][/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=MentorSansStd-Light][SIZE=2][FONT=MentorSansStd-Light][SIZE=2][FONT=MentorSansStd-Light][SIZE=2][FONT=MentorSansStd-Light][SIZE=2][/SIZE][/FONT][/SIZE][/FONT][/SIZE][/FONT][/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=MentorSansStd-Light][SIZE=2][FONT=MentorSansStd-Light][SIZE=2][FONT=MentorSansStd-Light][SIZE=2][FONT=MentorSansStd-Light][SIZE=2]Again, doesn't fully state it all outright, but seems to indicate identical effects replace rather than stack.
