I'm having a bit of a disagreement with a friend of mine over the stackability of some feats, namely Psicrystal Containment (https://libraryofmetzofitz.fandom.com/wiki/Psicrystal_Containment) and Warrior's Focus (https://libraryofmetzofitz.fandom.com/wiki/Warrior%E2%80%99s_Focus). He is of the opinion that since neither Psicrystal Containment nor Warrior's Focus have the text seen in other similar feats stating that multiple additional focus feats don't stack, that you can use them to get three foci (one of which only works on your PsyWar path stuff).
Please follow me through this, on order of least to most restrictive.
Warrior's Focus doesn't say it doesn't stack with anything.
Psicrystal Containment doesn't say it doesn't stack with anything.
Deep Focus (https://libraryofmetzofitz.fandom.com/wiki/Deep_Focus) only states it doesn't stack with Psicrystal Containment, and that if you have both, you must pick either your subconscious or your psicrystal to become focused.
Collective Focus (https://libraryofmetzofitz.fandom.com/wiki/Collective_Focus) says it doesn't stack with Deep Focus or Psicrystal Containment, and that you can only have one additional focus if you have any of these feats.
Focused Swiftness (https://libraryofmetzofitz.fandom.com/wiki/Focused_Swiftness) says it doesn't stack with Deep Focus, Psicrystal Containment, or anything else that grants an additional focus. It also has the same wording as Collective Focus that forbids having more than one focus.
Now, consider if you had Psicrystal Containment and Warrior's Focus. Assuming that they stacked, you would have three foci. Now, say you picked up Focused Swiftness. That would reduce the amount of foci you can have, due to the text there stating it doesn't stack with anything and that you can't have more than one additional focus.
My thought is: What's more likely? That the new feat takes away one of your foci? Or that you weren't supposed to have it in the first place (likely because someone forgot to add a Special text to Warrior's Focus)?
How would y'all rule this?
