In this case it isn't a bug, in M&M the bonus from the Equipment doesn't stack with anything but the natural character bonuses (if applyable), otherwise only the highest bonus counts.

Thanks wood claw, i thought that was possibly the case(just wasnt sure if there might have been an exception to the rule due to the sources are different ie one a device and one from the device.

However today IT DOES seem to be stacking- i went back in and tinkerd w the capes protection(made it limited to fire only -3 flaw) now when protection is checked its adding but only seem to be adding half +3 toughness and showing a trade off ( as i was @ +9 toughness before anyway...lol i went up to +6 protection....im lost any clue whats up?? is hl correct??
