    Title: Armor Effects Don't Add Up
    Reproduction Rate: ???
    Blocker? no
    Details: Certain components of cloth armor add % focus, while others add base focus. It is entirely unclear whether the base numbers are supposed to be added up first, and then the % bonus applied, or vice-versa.

    In order to test which way these numbers were calculated, I dressed Jaan in a full set of cotton fortified armor. This ostensibly supplies +170 to focus, and a 20% focus bonus. However, neither way of calculating the bonuses bears out.

    When naked, Jaan has a current base focus of 493. With all the armor on, it is 728. But it should be more by either calculation.

    If I first add 170 to 493 and then multiply by 1.2, I get 796.

    If I first multiply 493 by 1.2 and then add 170, I get 762

    By either calculation, it is off by a considerable amount.
