Question about Cheibriados

[Obedient Arrow]

I'm trying out the unarmed transmuter, and the stat bonuses from Cheibriados are so nice. Do you keep them if you switch to another god later?

[Abominae]

No.

Also they go away when your piety gets lowered for whatever reasons.

[tasonir]

By go away, you mean they are lowered by 1 for each tier of piety you go down. I think it's 10 piety per stat point, but I could be off. Around that ballpark. I wouldn't call going from +15 to all stats to +13 to all stats your bonus stats "going away"

[Sandman25]

  Code:

int che_stat_boost(int piety)
{
    if (you.religion != GOD_CHEIBRIADOS || you.penance[GOD_CHEIBRIADOS])
        return 0;
    if (piety < 30)  // Since you've already begun to slow down.
        return 1;
    if (piety > 160) // Fudging this slightly to agree with ****** piety.
        return 15;
    return min((piety - 10) / 10, 14);
}

[tasonir]

That formula seems odd. Correct me if I'm wrong, but couldn't the final line be changed to a constant of 15 instead of 14 in the min function? Doing that would let you remove the if (piety > 160) part? Then any time you had 160 piety, it would return the min of 15 or 15, which is 15, and if you had 175 it would return the min of 16 or 15, which is still 15, etc.

ie, the function would be:

  Code:

int che_stat_boost(int piety)
{
    if (you.religion != GOD_CHEIBRIADOS || you.penance[GOD_CHEIBRIADOS])
        return 0;
    if (piety < 30)  // Since you've already begun to slow down.
        return 1;
    return min((piety - 10) / 10, 15);
}

[Thalfon]

The existing formula gives stats+14 at 160 piety, while your formula gives stats+15 at 160 piety. Otherwise the two are the same.

Hence the "Fudging this slightly to agree with ****** piety" comment. They presumably want to give the 15th and final stat point when you hit ****** piety, which is at 161, not at 160. So it's a very slight change to make it occur at 161 piety as desired.

[tasonir]

Ah, you're right, I didn't realize ****** started at 161 and not 160. The original function makes sense now
