A massive overwhelming critical?

Between the many knowledgeable people on this server, is there anyone who knows for sure how Massive Critical, Overwhelming Critical and Thundering Rage go together? According to NWNWiki, it works like this:
  • MC + OC: Both apply.
  • MC + TR: Only MC applies.
  • OC + TR: Both apply.
  • MC + OC + TR: No mention.
NWNWiki was changed on February 8 on this point though (edit summary: "It does stack"), and said other things a year ago when I decided to run some tests (http://nwn.bioware.com/forums/viewtopic ... highlight=), with strange, nonexplicable results. At least, nothing in this test suggested that MC and OC don't stack. Would it be safe to assume as much? Has someone been able to do a more reliable test or get a word from a developer?

it would be,

Overwhelming and The higher value (2d6 from TR or whatever from massive criticals.)

Simpler, The massive criticals and Thundering Rage add whichever is the higher value.

from http://www.nwnwiki.org/Thundering_Rage

EDIT: There seems to be some wiki-conflict.

http://www.nwnwiki.org/Overwhelming_Critical says that they all stack. I think it is bad grammar.

I think it should mean that it will stack with TR or Massive Crits, whichever is higher.
