ComputedStat

A computed stat is used to define stats whose value is derived from other stats (either base or calculated). Please be wary of circular dependencies between stats.

Computed stats values can still be overridden by the user or by a mechanic. A computed stat with a modifier override (such as with the addToStat effect) will still calculate the value of the computed stat, and then add the appropriate modifier to it. If a value override (such as the one created as a result of the setStat effect) is used instead, the computed stat will not be calculated, using that overridden value + any overridden modifiers in lieu of it.
