 '''Faction Membership and Disposition'''
-* disposition modifiers are not cumulative. If an actor is a member of more than one faction with a disposition modifier toward a faction the player is a member of, only the lowest disposition modifier is considered. In other words, if the actor is a member of a faction that has a +10 modifier toward the PlayerFaction, and another faction that has a -10 modifier, only the -10 modifier is applied. They do not cancel out. Presumably this holds true for disposition modifiers between non-player actors as well. (Though this is unconfirmed.)
+* disposition modifiers resulting from membership in multiple factions are not cumulative. Only the highest or lowest modifier will apply depending on the rules of precedence:
+** if the actor and the player are both members of the same faction, the faction reaction modifier is used and other modifiers are ignored. Example: If you create an NPC and make him a member of the Fighters Guild (+10/rank) and the Hackdirt Brethren (-40 PlayerFaction), only the Fighters Guild reaction modifier will apply if the player is a member of the Fighters Guild.
+** if the actor and the player are both members of two or more factions, the highest modifier takes precedence. Example: If you create an NPC and make him a member of both the Fighters Guild (+10/rank) and the Mages Guild (+20/rank) and the player is also a member of both factions, only the Mages Guild reaction modifier will apply.
+** if an actor is a member of more than one faction with a disposition modifier toward a faction the player is a member of (including the PlayerFaction), only the lowest disposition modifier is considered. Example: If you create an NPC and add him to both the Kvatch Guard faction (+20 PlayerFaction) and the 'I Hate the Player' faction (-30 PlayerFaction), only the lower modifier will apply.
+* presumably the rules of precedence hold true for disposition modifiers between non-player actors as well, though at present this is still unconfirmed.
