    INT 13 = roll 12- int 18 = roll 13-

    I am trying to understand why the base roll for intelligence goes up at 13 and 18 instead of 15 and 20?

    I am using the powerful hero template and it says PERINCREASELEVELS="5" so that should mean for ever 5 levels the PER increases 1 level but it is changing at 13 and 18 meaning that the base start is 8. Isn't the formula for PER skills 9 + INT/5 ?

    It rounds up.

    Yeah, that'll happen.

    Rounding rules. .5 (and above) rounds in the character's favor.

    INT Roll = 9+INT/5

    INT 12: 9 + 12/5 = 9 + 2.4 = 11.4 = 11

    INT 13: 9 + 13/5 = 9 + 2.6 = 11.6 = 12

    INT 17: 9 + 17/5 = 9 + 3.4 = 12.4 = 12

    INT 18: 9 + 18/5 = 9 + 3.6 = 12.6 = 13
