More for curiosity's sake than anything else.
1) When a weapon has %s, does it operate on only the weapon's base ATP, or on its ATP as ground? As an example, if I have a trusty Red Handgun 50% Altered Beast (I wish) ground to +50, and I give a Melqueek one in the eye, is the weapons's effective ATP for that shot (300*1.5) + 100 = 550, or is it (300+100)*1.5 = 600?
2) Does Shifta work only on the character's ATP, or does it also include the character's total with weapon equipped (not counting the so-called "Shifta bonus" with variable-ATP weapons, just the base figures). Again as an example, if my character has 1000 ATP, I'm using an unground Red Handgun (300 ATP), and someone casts a Shifta that adds 20% ATP (just to make the math easier), is the final effective ATP (1000*1.2) + 300 = 1500, or (1000+300)* 1.2 = 1560?
(In retrospect, I could probably figure out the latter one myself just by seeing how much my ATP goes up and down when I equip and unequip a weapon while Shiftaed and while not Shiftaed...)
