Clarification and Discussion of Ambiguously-Described Categories
While the utility of some--perhaps even most--of these bonuses is obvious, does anyone have any idea what good some of these are? For example, I'm looking at Red Mage's categories and they both seem kind of useless, but the descriptions are vague too. How does the the Chainspell Effect bonus work? Is it a +2 to base damage, MAB+2, or +2 to final damage? So, I figure it'd be good to discuss how some of the more ambiguous ones work here.

I just tested Convert Effect as lv99RDM/lv1 WAR, with 559/1360 HP, 60/1025 MP, and 1 point in Convert Effect. Afterwards I had 73/1360 HP and 559/1025 MP. This suggests the reduction is based on maximum rather than current HP. I'll test it more as I accumulate further job points. JeanneRenault (talk) 23:55, May 11, 2014 (UTC)
