Order of Operations when Calculating Boosters?
03/01/2006, 03:06:41

    Someone Random writes:

    If an expert at "Disarm Trap" with a skill of 4 equips an item that boosts DT by 5 points, is the calculation (4x2)+5, or is it 2(4+5)? Does the doubled value for expert factor prior to or after the bonus? Looking at the Unarmed skill + boosters, the doubling includes all bonuses. But with Disarm, it seems to be not the same.

    I can't always tell, nor have I seriously studied the matter. Partially this is because I only wonder about it between 2 and 3 AM central time, which is also the hour during which I conduct no studies on RPGs, usually.
