does abandon/reflex stack with defense or do they not work together

same question with weapon guard and abandon

and also with weapon guard and defend

finally if a character has an 'always on' reaction ability like abandon (as innate obviously) can they equip a 'triggered' reaction ability (like soulbind/the damage split thing)and have it work properly?

what will happen instead?

1) Every form of evasion boosting stacks upon other forms of evasion stacking.
2) I had an old thread about it, but to make the long story short, you can have up to 5 possible reactions:
EQ
Innate 4
Innate 3
Innate 2
Innate 1
If a triggered reaction is higher on the priority list than abandon / weapon guard, the game will check it before it checks passive reactions, but since passive reactions are automatically calculated in the evasion routines, you'll end up with the effects of both.  However, if you set the passive reaction at higher priority, the active reaction will never trigger because the game can only trigger one reaction (which is always the passive reaction).
The destruction of the will is the rape of the mind.
The dogmas of every era are nothing but the fantasies of those in power; their dreams are our waking nightmares.

so that means a character with abandon weapon guard and vigilance (for example) would have abandon and weapon guard work normally and vigilance activating when triggered?

does it also work with other reactions and which ones can stack?
