Summary: Natures should not stack together - REVIEW

Initial Comment:
This was raised and confirmed a few months back -

It is now possible to have Three Exact Feats/Abilities stack when they should not.

What used to happen is one nature would override the other in display... (You'd only see one (1) version listed in your list), now you get a copy for each nature.

Normal would appear over an automatic or virtual (if you can apply it, since removing a feat added by normal is allowed).

---
Tir raised the objection that allowing an ability to be applied three times changed the behavior and SHOULD NOT have happened without a consent of the Data Team. (In the fact that applying three times meant the bonus was being applied three times, which is against stacking rules... the abilities in question did not allow stacking by the very fact they can't be taken more than once (so no Bonus TYPE was used)).

--

I have not checked to see if this is still the case. This is a placeholder to check to see if the behavior is still present.

TESTING PURPOSES:

Two different methods:
-Method 1
VFEAT:Dodge
AUTO:FEAT|Dodge
ADD:FEAT|Dodge

-Method 2
ABILITY:FEAT|NORMAL|Dodge
ABILITY:FEAT|VIRTUAL|Dodge
ABILITY:FEAT|AUTOMATIC|Dodge


---
Another concern that I would raise, you should NOT be able to add a 'normal' nature if the character already has the feat/ability applied via another source (Virtual or Automatic).

I.E. If I am granted the Martial Weapons Proficiency Feat, then I should not be able to retake the Martial Weapons Proficiency Feat with a feat pool point.
