Set is a mechanical term. It is the process of replacing a Bonus, Rating, or other value with a specified amount, rather than increasing or decreasing it. When a value is Set, its previous value is replaced by the new value.
If a value is Set multiple times, only one Set applies. You choose which.
If a value would be increased or decreased, apply those changes after it is Set.
Example: #1: Your Character has a Rapid Flickerfield Brace Equipped. This Set's your maximum Barrier to 5, replacing your normal maximum Barrier of 0.
Example #2: Your Character has both a Rapid Flickerfield Brace and a Fortress Flickerfield Brace Equipped. The Rapid Flickerfield Brace Set's your Barrier to 5, while the Fortress Flickerfield Brace Set's your Barrier to 20. You may choose for your Barrier to have a maximum for 5 or 20, but not both.
Example #3: Your D'jinn Character has a Rapid Flickerfield Brace Equipped. You have the D'jinn Ability Electromagnetic Form, which increases your maximum Barrier by 5. Thus, the Rapid Flickerfield Brace Set's your Barrier to 5, then the Electromagnetic Form Ability increases it by an additional 5, for a new maximum of 10.
