Curves that add or multiply
A designer decides how many points each level needs. Some add the same amount each time (100, 200, 300 …); others multiply (100, 200, 400 …). The second kind feels quick at first and then very slow.
Bonuses multiply as well. Two boosts of +20% are ×1.2 then ×1.2, which is ×1.44: +44%, not +40%.
Two boosts of +50% each are used together. How much extra do they give?
