| - | A stat can be modified in ways other than stat point investiture, usually through talents. This is called an effective value, and does not affect invested stat points (so it may not be used to purchase talents) nor the prerequisite for a talent level. Instead, the effective value is used to calculate the character's practical level of ability in-game. Some talents or effects may only change the effective value under certain conditions. All alterations to an effective value are cumulative unless specified otherwise.<br> | + | A stat can be modified in ways other than stat point investiture, usually through talents.

Some talents only apply to the Active or the Passive Effective Value. Add those bonuses to your Effective Value only when the appropriate value would be used. | Some talents only apply to the Active or the Passive Effective Value.
