What order are bonuses and penalties to stats given? For instance, my mage has a CoI and Alatar's equipped. But he is also wearing a HoD for that little bit extra AC. It's too early in the morning to be doing maths and I've got a hangover as well so help! Is the bonus worked out on the result of the penalty or the other way around....

The order is irrelevant for the outcome...

I was just sitting here with my hangover doing the maths. Doesn't really matter does it??!?!?
I'm going for a coffee now... :\

It's just basic math with percentages.
Some examples:
+10% means multiple by 1.10
-5% means multiply by 0.95
Combining them gives either 1.10*0.95 or 0.95*1.10. Both do give exactly the same answer.

If your Cloak gives +10% and your Alatar's give +10% also and the hod gives you -5% (to direct damage)
then the outcome is +15%...

1.1*1.1*0.95=1.1496, according to my Texas Instruments calculator.
All penalties and bonuses are percentages _of the unmodified stat_.
So a 100k DX with +10%, +10% and -5% from various items gives:
100k (base) + 10k +10k -5k = 115k, and order doesn't matter.
