Editing Attunement (beyond the veil) (section)

==Matching Attunements==
If a Denizen attempts to damage another's [[resources (beyond the veil)|Psyche]] for each Attunement that the target and attacker share the target receives a bonus to his defense draw.  This bonus is equal to the shared number of attunements, squared.  

Thus 1 shared Attunement grants +1, 2 grants +4, and 3 grants +9. 

If the target shares all of the attacker’s Attunements the attack deals no damage, and as no character may possess no more than 4 Attunements, a pair of characters matching all 4 Attunements automatically deal no damage to one another, as would any character attacking another who shares all of their Attunements.  

This is but one more reason Denizens fear combat with higher Ranked Denizens; Characters who might match their own Attunements; rendering the lower Ranking Denizen unable to do damage, and have still more Attunements; allowing the higher Ranked Denizen to attack, albeit with a penalty.

By some arcane provence of the [[Pact Fundemental (beyond the veil)|Pact Fundemental]] Celestines treat all Light Substances as being the same for determining the Attunement defense bonus and whether the attacker can deal damage at all.
