ok, tell me if this makes any sense or not...no

what i noticed (and thisprobly sounds crackpotloony) yesis that the statistics on the dna samples have correlations totheir resists or perhaps special attacks for that matter that limit the probability of possibility for a given cloning project...no thats generallydead wrong, specials are linked to DNA quality and slot, and only effective resists are affected by stats, and only by one: fortitude. The other stats control HAM, damage, and to-hit/speedi dont mean the mathematics of the combine but the variation of multiple traits of a particular creature/sample. the notion that resists are linked withcharacteristics is what im talkin about in particular, but in a larger vaguer sense it seems to me that if theres a method for putting together dna as the creator of a new and novel clone, there neccessarily must be a method for putting together the origins of clone again, no...the "mathematics of the combine" are all there is. There's no esoteric, organic function here controlling anything in vague and unpredictable ways. If you're just talking about figuring out what went into a pet from its stats, then you can generally get a good idea, yes, especially since there are some common formulas that have a characteristic signature, such as high kin and blast resists on a CL10 pet probably coming from the Talus-set MH combine.

theres afairly concrete algorithmof how dna combines, it follows that there would be one for naturally ocurring creatures as well wild creatures' stats are programmed directly by the devs into the creature database. In the CU, their HAM is scaled by their CL, in live its random within a given range.

I really dont get what your overall point is, here, though...

lol, im glad to hear it makes no sense im just as baffled

theres no point really...is just speculative and observational

sorry about the confusion ...let me emphasize that i dont speak of the cloning process cuz the mechanics of it are pretty straightforward even tho the process is still pretty unclear (thats for another thread maybe); my statement was rather jumbled... im only beginning to get seriously interested in the pet creation portion of BE, these are a couple of things i start to ask myself after sampling and cloning and experimenting, food for thought if you will

what principle dictates the limits intrinsic in wild type dna regarding relationships of different stats, etc and if there are no limits then why and how there can be no limits

There are limits. The limits are a set range for each creture. Wheather the people who input the range did it by formula or by arbitrary choice remains to be reveled. That stats for the individual creature are chosen (I suspect by the client) when the creature spawns and are within that given range.

how the dna cloning process subjects these limits to appear in the final clone, in particular the ratio of stats to creature level

The limits have very little to do with the ratio of stats to creature level. They simply dictate what is possible within any given combine.

how different combinations of dna are able to circumvent these limits

They don't. There exists some strangeness in final products which comes from the weighting of each slot to the final stats. This can give the appearance that the limits have been exceeded.

why devs have chosen the stats they did for dna samples, (aka *esoteric* organic functions) and if its important

The function used could have been as simple as x creature has a base of y in a given stat then the client choses the add or subtract from that value. Many many many possiblities are available given the current ranges in each creature. They are only important in having higher or lower stats in a final combine.

and, i guess to a lesser degree, how or if the combat upgrade will affect the profession for better or worse

Your guess is as good as anyone elses.

anyways, i havent really taken the time to think about how to answer these questions or even examine their validity... but i dont think the mathematics of the combine are all there is, i hope theres a derivative and i dont mean a vague unpredictable derivative although that doesnt seem out of the question
