Stacked modifiers

[sevrick]

I can't seem to find in the books where it talks about what you do if you have multiple modifiers and how they are calculated. For example if you do somthing that puts you at 1/2 DCV and another condition you have a -2. Do you calculate the 1/2 1st and then add the -2? or the other way around?

DCV CHECKLIST
1. Determine base DCV (character’s DCV Characteristic).
2. Add any applicable Combat Skill Levels the character wishes to use to increase his DCV.
3. Apply any modifiers for the particular weapon, armor, or shield the character uses.
4. Apply any modifiers for the particular Combat Maneuver or Martial Maneuver the character uses.
5. Apply any Combat Modifiers.
6. Apply any other modifiers.
7. Apply any modifiers that halve DCV (or otherwise reduce it by a fraction or percentage).

 

A character’s DCV can only be halved once, regardless of how many “halving” modifiers he’s subject to.

 

So first subtract 2, then halve the remainder.
