Redux formulas and tables

Primary Formulas

Redux Floor = 265 + Trunc(550/(Level + 1))
Total Redux Points = Trunc(Primary ranks*2.5 + Secondary ranks + Tertiary ranks*0.75)
Redux Percentage = Round((1-(264/RP))/.02

Notes:
1. Redux Floor is the minimum number of points required to activate redux per level.
2. Total Redux Points is the sum of primary + secondary + tertiary ranks.
3. Redux Percentage rounds to the nearest hundredth XX.XX Example I: 24.11765 →24.12%, Example II: 19.44444 →19.44%
4. Redux Percentage formula only applies to redux points <=880 (35% redux) and does not include spell knowledge penalties.

Tables

Redux Spell Penalty Tables

The following tables contain a complete list of the redux spell penalty percentages for characters level 30 to 100. The penalties are located at the intersection of a character's level (top row) and total spell ranks known (left column). A cell entry of 0 indicates that there is no penalty for that spell rank. Example, L96 with knowledge of 4 total spells has no redux penalty. but will have a 6% penalty upon learning one additional spell. Conversely, a cell entry of 100% signifies that the character has no redux. Example, a L100 character with 197 spell ranks.

Redux Floor Table

This level-based table lists the minimum number of redux points required to activate redux. A character with less than the minimum number of RPs will receive the following messaging when checking out of character creation inns: Current skills bonus is insufficient to gain DF reduction.

Spell Penalty Calculation based on Tier

There are two unique spell penalty calculations used for penalties, dependent upon whether or not we're looking at below or above 1x.

  • Below 1x:
Penalty = 100 - 5.5615X + .5444X^2 - 0.0303X^3 + 0.0006X^4
  • Between 1x and 2x:
Penalty = 60 - 5.7959X + .1979X^2 - .0031X^3
  • Above 2x: No Redux
