Exp Loss on Death calculations

Notice the EXP from the ambition SS and the death SS.
Either they don't work, or they work totally different from what I(we?) was thinking. s:

Well, Ambition isn't really lose x% less EXP, it changes your EXP loss to x%, on a character with 0 Ambition, it displays -10% EXP, it's not like you don't lose any EXP when you have 0 Ambition, right?, and decreases as you level it.

If we take -7.5% as the base EXP loss, then the other sources of EXP loss reduction can be one of three things, they either subtract directly from the base EXP loss, which isn't the case (or it is, and it's just not working right, but that'd be super OP), they all add together and reduce the base EXP loss by that much, are they're all multiplicative with each other and base EXP.

In the second two cases, you'd lose either 7.5 * [1 - (0.04 + 0.02)] = 7.05% EXP, case 1, or 7.5 * (1 - 0.04) * (1 - 0.02) = 7.056% EXP, case 2. Just by subtracting, you appear to have lost 7.05%, but the precision on the EXP percentages isn't very high.

I don't know the EXP required to level from 183 to 184, but Basil says it's 435,050,483 EXP, and you go from 251,587,858 -> 220,953,090 EXP, so you lost (251,587,858 - 220,953,090)/435,050,483 = 7.042% EXP.

This could be a case of rounding somewhere, whatever it is, we'd need more data to be sure, but also, I think someone already did this, for some reason, either [MENTION=618]Takebacker[/MENTION]; or [MENTION=4093]SaptaZapta[/MENTION]; comes to mind.
