===== Rule #4 - Abilities of the Same Name Don't Stack =====
 
There are many [[:Game Mechanics:Definitions:Ability|Abilities]] in Meat Space. Some are active, some are passive, but an [[:Game Mechanics:Definitions:Entity]] can only benefit from an [[:Game Mechanics:Definitions:Ability]] with the same name once at any given time.\\
\\
**Example**: Using the [[Basic Abilities:Dodge]] [[:Game Mechanics:Actions:Quick Action]] twice would only increase your [[:Ratings:Defence]] once, as both effects originate from the [[Basic Abilities:Dodge]] [[:Game Mechanics:Definitions:Ability]].
