  • Additional
    • flat additions to the base value
    • sum with each other
  • Percent Increased/Reduced the base value
    • Percent change
  • Percent More/Less the modified value
    • Applied after increased/reduced


  1. Sum all Added and Base values -> 10
  2. Sum all Increased into one multiplier -> 1.45
  3. Multiply Added/Base total x Increased multiplier ->10x1.45=14.5
  4. Multiply by each More separately -> 14.5 x 1.05 x 1.3 x 1.1 = 21.77
  5. Multiply by Amplified separately
