2	Painproof example :D
3	Fig 1
4	HP	Painproof cost					These are all examples where the HP Cost of painproof is too high to justify using over even L3 / L4 Guard.
5	1000	100					The TLDR -- More DR makes pain proof exponentially worse, More HP makes pain proof multiplicatively worse.
6	1100	110
7	1200	120
8	1300	130

12							(HP Where Guard > Painproof)
13	Damage Numeric	DR	Painproof's Reduc	S. Painproof Reduc	LV 3 Guard Reduc	LV4 Guard Reduc	In these ideal use cases, LV 4 guard almost always beats out the competition -- and is not as conditional as PP is.
14	400	0	200	240	120	160	L4 > S.PP > L3 > PP @ Any hp over 800
15	500	0	250	300	150	200	L4 > S.PP > L3 > PP @ Any hp over 1000
16	600	0	300	360	180	240	L4 > S.PP > L3 > PP @ Any hp over 1200
17	700	0	350	420	210	280	L4 > S.PP > L3 > PP @ Any hp over 1400
18	800	0	400	480	240	320	L4 > S.PP > L3 > PP @ Any hp over 1600
19	900	0	450	540	270	360	L4 > S.PP > L3 > PP @ Any hp over 1800

21	DR examples
22							(HP where L4 Guard > Spirited Painproof \|/\| HP Where L3 Guard > Spirited Painproof) -- R3 PP removed for clarity
23	Damage Numeric	DR	Painproof's Reduc	S. Painproof Reduc	LV 3 Guard Reduc	LV4 Guard Reduc	In these more realistic cases, L3 Guard outperforms even Spirited pain proof.
24	400	30	140	168	84	112	L4 > L3 > S.PP > PP @ Any hp over 560 / 840
25	500	30	175	210	105	140	L4 > L3 > S.PP > PP @ Any hp over 700 / 1050
26	600	30	210	252	126	168	L4 > L3 > S.PP > PP @ Any hp over 840 / 1260
27	700	30	245	294	147	196	L4 > L3 > S.PP > PP @ Any hp over 980 / 1470
28	800	30	280	336	168	224	L4 > L3 > S.PP > PP @ Any hp over 1120 / 1680
29	900	30	315	378	189	252	L4 > L3 > S.PP > PP @ Any hp over 1890 / 1260

31							(HP where L4 Guard > Spirited Painproof \|/\| HP Where L3 Guard > Spirited Painproof) -- R3 PP removed for clarity
32	Damage Numeric	DR	Painproof's Reduc	S. Painproof Reduc	LV 3 Guard Reduc	LV4 Guard Reduc	In this more meta ghost example, the point is rather clear.
33	400	55	90	108	54	72	L4 > L3 > S.PP > PP @ Any HP over 360 / 540
34	500	55	112.5	135	67.5	90	L4 > L3 > S.PP > PP @ Any HP over 450/ 675
35	600	55	135	162	81	108	L4 > L3 > S.PP > PP @ Any HP over 540 / 810
36	700	55	157.5	189	94.5	126	L4 > L3 > S.PP > PP @ Any HP over 630 / 945
37	800	55	180	216	108	144	L4 > L3 > S.PP > PP @ Any HP over 720 / 1080
