Question on the meaning of these phrases.

[Jacob Saltband]

1] + 1 for every two levels you possess.

2] add 1/2 your level to the damage (minimum +1).

Number 1 means you get +1 for 1st and 2nd level. +2 for 3rd and 4th, etc?

Number 2 means 1st and 2nd and 3rd level you +1, 4th and 5th +2, 6th and 7th +3, etc?

Have I got these right?

[Rynjin]

For the first it doesn't say "minimum 1" so it should be 0 for 1st, +1 for 2 and 3, +2 for 4 and 5, and so on.

Second you're spot on.

[chaoseffect]

For these just divide your level by 2 and round down and you have the right answer.

[Drakkiel]

1) yes you are correct

2) again correct

You have these correct sir

now remember if its a class feature or something else gained using that class then by "level" it usually refers to your level "in that class" not total character level...not an issue unless you multiclass

[Ascalaphus]

1: level/2, rounded down, with a minimum of 0
2: level/2, rounded down, with a minimum of 1

I forget where it says it in the Core Rulebook (probably somewhere in the Getting Started chapter), but one of the most consistent rules of the game is that you always round fractions down, unless something is specifically called out as an exception.

No, number 1 is incorrect. If you only have 1 level, you don't have the required 2 levels to get the bonus. Had it also said "Minimum +1" or whatever, you would be correct.

Number 1: +0 at 1st, +1 at 2nd and 3rd, +2 at 4th and 5th, etc

Number 2, however, is correct.

I don't have my book handy to check, but in the PRD is under "Getting Started". Scroll down to "Common Terms".

Quote:

Rounding: Occasionally the rules ask you to round a result or value. Unless otherwise stated, always round down. For example, if you are asked to take half of 7, the result would be 3.

I missed him actually saying +1 at first...apologies for reading too quickly
