Gem bonuses

From ThresholdRPG Wiki


When Bloodjewels are encrusted into an Adventurer belt, the following bonuses will apply.

Diminishing returns

Encrusting more than one gem effect of the same type will result in diminishing returns. While you get the full bonus from the highest gem effect value of a given effect type, all additional values of the same effect type only grant half the bonus. This is calculated by summing the largest value and the other values separately and halving the second value before then adding both together. An example is as follows:

Four gems with Max endurance with values of 12, 15, 18, and 21.

Result:
21 + ( (12 + 15 + 18) / 2)
21 + ( 45 / 2 )
21 + 22
43
