I'm getting a different value for the base enchant difficulty. Assuming +1 per level, +2 per wizard rank up to level and +1 per stat bonus my results indicate that the base penalty is 20 less than your values. I tested +5 leather armor (-10 material mod) with a level 45 character with 25 wizard ranks, +30 LOG and +25 INT stat bonuses. Total bonus if level is +1 per is +150 (45 level + 50 spells + 55 stats). The 925 read was Very Difficult. I added 1 rank lore (5 skill), retested and the read remained V. DIFF. I then added 2 ranks EMC and the messaging changed to DIFFICULT BUT POSSIBLE (35%). With a total bonus of +152 the item difficulty was (152 - 35) = -117 but this includes the leather material penalty (-10). After adjusting for the material penalty the actual base penalty for the +5 item was -107. Your table is showing a penalty of -127.

The test wss done at a table with no familiar present and no relevant skills other than the 1 rank of lore and 2 ranks of EMC added during the test. I'll try to do a bit more testing as time permits. Thanks for the fantastic work you've done here! SPYRIDONM3 (talk) 18:53, 21 May 2019 (CDT)
