What does increase by +1 / 2 mean?


Rules Questions


Aasimar favored class for summoner says:

Summoner: Add DR 1/evil to the summoner's eidolon. Each additional time the summoner selects this benefit, the DR/evil increases by +1/2 (maximum DR 10/evil).

So is that 1 DR every other level, max 10 DR at lvl 20?


Yes.


1 person marked this as a favorite.

It will actually be DR 10/evil at lvl 19 but yes you have it correct.


Thanks!

It should hit at 20. It does not round up. first time you take it is 0 DR, then goes to 1 DR once you take it twice.

1st=0
2nd=1
3rd=1
4th=2

So after you take it 20 times, it is DR 10. At 19 is is 9.5, which is only 9. All the favored class bonuses are applied this way evenly. The rogue talent ones are 1/6th, so you would not gain your first bonus one until 6th level.

According to the Advanced Race Guide, the first level gives DR 1, it's each time after first level that gives DR 1/2


^^This.

This particular case is different than other +1/2 per level favored class bonuses. It front loads a +1. So at lvl 1 it's 1, lvl 3 it's 2, lvl 5 it's 3, etc. Keep going up and you hit 10 at lvl 19, not 20.

very odd they would do that. Not good to have official inconsistencies.
