Smooth and Linear Stat Extensions

I created 2 extension for modifying the stat bonus, development points and power point progression. There is an extension for linear progression and another for smoothed progression. I've made these compatible with RMC v1.8 and RMC v2.0+ so you can now use them with either version of the ruleset. Only one should be enabled at one time, so choose either the linear or smooth, since the last one to load will be the only one in effect.

Updated to v1.1 for use with RMC v2.3+. (NOT NEEDED IF YOU HAVE RM COMPANION 1)

Nice Dakadin :). But allow me to ask a stupid question (I blame my memory and I'm at work atm so I can't check my books), what is the difference? I looked at the LUA code and to me its the same progression, but I just made a manual comparison of the two rule files, so I might have missed something.

Linear progression uses formulas for determining stat bonus, development points and power point multiplier. Here are the formulas:
Stat Bonus = (Stat - 50) / 2
DP = Stat / 10
PP Multiplier = (Stat - 70) / 10 if the Stat is greater than 70. Otherwise it is zero.

Smoothed progression increments the stat bonus, development points and power point multiplier in smaller amounts than the core rules.

For example, in RMC a Stat of 90-94 is a +10 bonus while a 95-97 is a +15 bonus. With smoothed bonuses, a 90 is +10, 91 is +11, 92 is +12, 93 is +13, 94 is +14 and 95 is +15. So basically instead of incrementing the bonus by 5's it tries to fill the gaps.

Thanks Dakadin. We have always used smoothed when C1 was aquired back then.

New version 0.4 of each of these extensions. They are needed for RMC v1.5.5.

Great stuff, this is what I was missing. Thank you.

Updated both extensions to v1.0 for use with RMC v1.8 or RMC v2.0.
