I'll continue the debate on patronising no more, despite the fact that it is very clearly patronising me - And why should a battler have to look at a formula that has been described as complex to read? Not everyone can do that, it would be easier if it was consistent.
And STAB is by all means a BP change in it's overall effect - much like a crit is, or Reflect and Light screen are decreases. Right now, it sounds as if itsimply acts as a stat boost, which is a flat damage increase, not affected by super-effectiveness. Damage increase/decrease sounds like a change to the end result, Base Power increase/decrease sounds like a change to something which can be altered by super-effectiveness. I'd just like to see something regarding the fact that it is affected by type effectiveness, even if it's just in brackets at the end.
