Yah, I know! I saw it last night and thought, huh?
Looking at this again think it's supposed to be....
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?

Those are what the new PRR/MRR values will be for the Heavy/Medium/Light armors.

Yup, I understand that.
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.

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 + (2*BAB)/3
Light Armor = 12 + BAB/2
cuz maths r hahrd

Why am I a retard? 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.

You had to edit this gem? Really? Did you misspell "parents" the first go-round? Or did you upgrade your first attempt at an insult in order to finally arrive at this flash of genius?

Also, it would be more understandable like this:
36+(1)BAB
24+(2/3)BAB
12+(1/2)BAB
You can clearly see the progression. (2*BAB)/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.

I'm guessing they do it this way due to integer math. If you do 2/3 * BAB you get zero. :p
But yeah, whoever wrote those release notes... :<

I think it is safe to assume that clarity was not the intent.

I had written more but I realized even three words were enough of a strain on your limited mental faculties. you should thank me. my edit probably saved you from another aneurism.
