While I'm super happy with the new buff system, I was just wondering if maybe there's not an even better way:
Multiplying instead of just adding.
i.e., At this point, we have groups of people running around with unbuffed stats set to the absolute minimum, because they never fight unbuffed (I'm one of em). So what would happen if, instead of simply adding 2-2.5k to all their stats, if enhances actually multiplied the stat?
e.g., Bob has a HAM of:
H: 400
STR: 200
CON: 200
A: 400
QCK: 200
STA: 200
M: 1100
FOC: 1000
WIL: 1000
Under the new buff system, buffs could max out at about 3-3.5x (multiplier), which would suck (1200s max). Bill, on the other hand, has a HAM of:
H: 1000
STR: 200
CON: 200
A: 800
QCK: 200
STA: 200
M: 1000
FOC: 300
WIL: 500
so with the same doctor buffs, he would be:
H: 3000
STR: 600
CON: 600
A: 2400
QCK: 600
STA: 600
M: 1000
FOC: 300
WIL: 500
Then tack on music/dancer buffs:
H: 3000
STR: 600
CON: 600
A: 2400
QCK: 600
STA: 600
M: 3000
FOC: 900
WIL: 1500
These are just the random meanderings of a deranged mind, but was curious what everyone's thoughts would be.
