Overlapping Psych Complications--how does that work?

[megaplayboy]

I've noticed, sometimes, that a character may have 2 (or more) psychological complications which complement or overlap each other. To the extent this happens, and taking the extreme case(where a character has 2 or more overlapping Total commitment psych complications), how is this resolved? If the character has to try to go against both complications, do they make a single EGO roll, with the penalties being additive/cumulative(and/or, in the case of two strong or moderate complications, is it then treated as one total or strong complication for purposes of the roll)? Or do they make a separate roll for each complication?

This might also come up in the context of "psychic surgery", where a mentalist might deliberately give a target overlapping/complementary complications, in order to cement their control and make it much more difficult to resist their commands(e.g., "loves X unconditionally" and "obeys X without question").

thanks.

All this should be left in the comfortable, and no doubt wise, hands of the GM. There are so many ways for Psychological Complications to overlap, intersect, complement, or contradict each other, and they're such an inchoate sort of thing, that I think resolving these issues is best left to the GM.
