Something hinky with stats? 10/19/2017 09:33 PM CDT
So I've got two ranks of Perfect Self, and everything seems to be in order (+2 extra bonus all over, and +4 to all the stats) except having just made 14th level, I see this one oddity:

Forest Gnome, Level 14
Strength 74 +2 78 +4
Constitution 66 +18 70 +20
Dexterity 74 +17 78 +19
Agility 47 +9 51 +10
Discipline 66 +13 70 +15
Aura 84 +17 88 +19
Logic 77 +18 81 +20
Intuition 77 +13 81 +15
Wisdom 84 +22 88 +24
Influence 62 +1 66 +3


For the life of me, I cannot figure out how the stat can go up by four but the bonus only by one. All of the other odd stats (looks like only two, Logic & Intuition) calculate out at +4/+2.

sub-50 stats are weird, and that's your only one. I think it has something to do with all the truncating math of (stat-50)/2 (to calculate bonus)

52-53 are +1 bonus before racial modifiers
49 50 51 are all +0 bonus before racial modifiers.
47-48 are -1
45-46 are -2
...etc.

So the short and less mathematical explanation is, you passed through the 3 stats that have a +0 natural bonus.

I had glossed right over the fact that I was passing the +0 mid-point; good catch.
