Attuned

Defintion

Attuned items - most often IOs purchased on the Paragon Market - increase their enhancement effectiveness relative to a character's Security Level. For instance, the Crushing Impact set range is level 30-50. At level 27-30, it functions as a level 30 enhancement for aspect purposes. At 31, it functions at level 31. At level 45, it functions at level 45. At level 50, it functions at level 50.

When exemplaring, the effective aspect enhancement is figured as if it were the current natural level of the character, or, the maximum level of the range of enhancement if the character has outleveled it. Then the normal Exemplar Effects on Enhancements apply. So, e.g., if the Attuned Enhancement had a range of 30-40 and the character was level 45 exemplaring to level 15, then the effective aspect enhancements would be the same as a level 40 IO exemplared to 15.

For the sake of Bonus Sets, the bonus effects cut out when exemplaring more than three levels below the minimum or the Attuned Enhancement's range. So. e.g., a level 20-40 Attuned Enhancement would have its Bonuses cut out at 16 and below but would still be 'on' at level 17 and above.

All attuned items are also Account Bound.
