Ah cause I forgot to mention why I wanted that 4 - 100 number... I plan to take the dex and figure that 4 - 100 number. Then I plan to write some skills that would speed you up by 15% or 20% or what not.... Then I want it to with that modifyed number figure the updates you know where it divides it by 10 giving me that 2.5 number or for someone might be 4.2.
