This seems such a simple thing, but I couldn't easily find an answer so...

Does damage reduction stack? I was looking at the Amulet of Soothing Waters (-2 damage from Fire) and the Ioun Stone Ruby Rhombus (-3 damage from Fire). If one character was using both of these would that character get a total of -5 damage from Fire? Or only -3 damage from Fire?

Unless, of course, one of the tokens specifically says it does not stack. There is no charge for awesomeness, or attractiveness.
