Heavy Armor = 30 + Base Attack Bonus + 6 Medium Armor = 20 + (2*BAB)/3 +4 Light Armor = 10 + BAB/2 + 2 Not based on testing but assuming that the double digit numbers of 30/20/10 is where each calc starts. But what do I know?

But what do I know? Those are what the new PRR/MRR values will be for the Heavy/Medium/Light armors.

I think what Ranger was pointing out is how confusing it was to see the formulas when you use "/" as both a separator for each calc and as part of the actual calc.

I figured it out after staring at it for a little bit. It could have been written a lot more clearly for sure.

But what do I know? Ummm� but: 30 + 6 = 36 20 + 4 = 24 and, students, listen closely... 10 + 2 = 12. So through the appropriate quantum fourier laplace quadratic formulation, the equations simplify to: Heavy Armor = 36 + Base Attack Bonus Medium Armor = 24 + (2BAB)/3 Light Armor = 12 + BAB/2 cuz maths r hahrd

What kind of idiot monkey would give the equation for Heavy Armor as: Quote: Heavy Armor = 30 + Base Attack Bonus + 6 Here's what the Release Notes should have looked like, splitting out the Heavy Armor: Quote: 15 + 3 + 8 + Base Attack Bonus + 4 + 6 Putting it all together, we get something like: Quote: 15 + 3 + 8 + BAB + 4 + 6/8 + 3 + 5 + (2*BAB)/3 + 4 + 2 + 2 /2 + 3 BAB/2 + 5 + 2 Turbine should hire me.

(2BAB)/3 is a really lame way to represent 2/3rds BAB.

It would in turn be improved as: BAB + 36 (2/3)BAB + 24 (1/2)BAB + 12 I think we're making some real progress here.
