ROM has "ticks" for updates. Roughly every 1/4 second. So, if the char
has a max Dex of 25, and the max bonus is 5, then simply subtract the
modded Dex from 32 and decrement on each tick.
Dex = 25, mod = 5, 32 - 28 = 2, update every .5 seconds.
Dex = 17, mod = 3, 32 - 20 = 12, update every 3 seconds.
Since you can't do 1/2 an update, it's cleaner not to use fractions,
percentages or scaling factors in this sort of thing.
