Ancient sets

Every Ancient belongs to a set, and a set is a silhouette: one armour class, a fixed base for every slot, three of its six affixes fixed, and bonuses at 2, 4 and 6 pieces worn.

Resonance. Every affix on a set piece is 8% stronger for each other piece of the same set you wear, and a full six adds another 15% on top — six pieces are +61% on all six. A set is not a unique: the one-copy rule does not apply, you may wear a full set beside your uniques, and what it buys that a unique cannot is a rule change that costs slots. Ancients never drop on a floor: they come from a Rising's cards alone. A set piece always comes on its set's base, even one the depth has not opened yet.
