This is probably a question that has been asked and answered several times BUT, for the catch fate point reimbursement do sources stack. AKA do i get a +2 because the catch is easy to get and +2 because everyone knows about it coming to a total +4?
-
Correct. Assuming that that's one thing that's both known & easy to get.
(By contrast, if everyone knows you're vulnerable to a noose woven from tortoise hair, and nobody knows that you're also vulnerable to anything painted a particular shade of red - the total catch value there is only +2, since you only benefit from the single most limiting vulnerability.)
-
...since you only benefit from the single most limiting vulnerability.
You receive the "best" discount. See YS185: "You may specify more than one catch...you can only receive the discount once; take the best one."
-
ie. the catch which most limits the powers to which it applies
ie. the most limiting catch

I think that all the responses to this thread agree, but thanks to imprecise wording it is hard to tell.
Anyway, sources stack. For example, a Black Court Vampire's catch is worth 4 refresh.

breakdown:
from Sunlight:
everyone can get/use it +2
pretty much everyone knows it +2
from garlic, holy stuff, symbols of faith, running water, and anything else I might be missing
Nothing, because none of those provide more than the +4 that sunlight is already providing
-
Yep, that's correct.
BCVs kinda get screwed. They've got like 3 different +4 catches and a bunch of lesser ones, which they get a grand total of 4 refresh from. Good thing they aren't PCs.

Tedronai thanks for the great example, it was a lot of help.

Happy to be of assistance.
