Weighted stats

It would be nice if in STAT there were an asterisk or something next to stats that have a point of weight affecting the stat, but not enough to raise it one. So, if I normally have 14 con and had +3 weight to constitution, STAT would show 16* as my con, as the first two points of weight raise it up 2 con, but the third does nothing, but would let me raise it another by eating a constitution platter or something. Most skills you know exactly what effect it has, but with things like astrology, you don't always know (there is some randomness involved), plus sometimes I don't know where fortuna goes if I have multiple stat boosts from other methods.

How can you get +7 to your Con blink.gif

Truefavour (+2), weathering (+1), yellow (+1), constitution platter (+1), skull sphere (+2 ). There's probably more but that's already 7.


EDIT: Fortuna (+1)

Skull can theoretically go as high as +4 if you get really, really lucky. I've seen +3s, though.

Papaxi can push the stat boosts above 3? blink.gif

If the math works the same way as with Sun, then yes. It requires both Papaxi and Sun to be in the sign for the Sphere you're casting, though. So the odds of that happening in a useful sign are low. I should note that I haven't seen above +3 recently, though I seem vaguely to recall a +4 or two back when I was first starting out.

My god doesn't believe in True Favours, in fact I don't think ANY one in his order has gotten a TF, SF's yes but a TF.... nevah losewings.gif

ABSOLUTE maximum is +4, but it almost never happens. You'd need Sun and Papaxi both conjunct with the constallation, and have Papaxi effect work on the magnitude and nothing else.

Nice suggestion, with several stat boosting buffs and human stat bonusses it can get a bit confusing to see for example what fortuna is adding to that day.
