+*Prior to [[0.32]], multipliers to player EV were applied after temporary modifiers. In addition, effects like paralysis and clumsy could raise EV if the "disabled" EV was higher than current EV.
 *Prior to [[0.27]], a stepdown was applied for EV values >30; <code>adj_EV = 10 + 20 * log(1 + (EV-10)/20log2)</code>. [[Dexterity]] also had a stepdown when calculating the dodging bonus.
 *Prior to [[0.25]], a [[potion of agility]] was an easy way to increase EV.
