Ok, I have looked through the posts, and though the FAQs, and I apologize if I missed something.
A character has a base DEX of 10. He purchases +16 DEX through a focus (the only limitation), giving him a DEX 26.
He spends 14 points on SPD.
1) Does this give him a SPD of 3 / 5 [ base / ring ]
This would be calculated from:
( 10 / 10 + 1 ) + 1.4 = 3 [base]
( 10 / 10 + 16 / 10 + 1 ) + 1.4 = 5 [w/ ring]
2) Or, could he only pay the only the points on the base SPD to bring it to a whole number? (thus, spend only 10 on the SPD characteristic), and thus:
( 10 / 10 + 1 ) + 1.0 = 3 [base]
( 10 / 10 + 16 / 10 + 1 ) + 1.0 = 4 [w/ ring]
Note: This has come up only because the character was built in HeroDesigner v2, and the player set the focus based characteristic as "Add to Primary Value". I changed it to "Add to Secondary Value", but could not buy the SPD to 5 save by spending 20 pts on SPD (I would have expected the 14 as in case 1)
Thank you for your time, Steve.
I really appreciate the level of support that we get from Hero Games.
