    Oh i don’t mean during combat. I mean for spells and items, weapons and armor.

    Magic Iron Armor
    Protects character for (blah blah)x7(15 + armor base - stat whatever)

    It’s a computer program. Just list it as"protects character for 6", and have that 6 change based on the requirements. You know, like how every other dev team in the history of videogames has done it haha

      But then you don’t know how your gear scales! That’s important knowledge!

      If they were making a less number-crunchy game then I might agree with you but this is kind of just the nature of Pathfinder, honestly. It’s a game for numbers nerds and your objective is to stack +68 to your attack rolls or saves via as many different avenues as possible. This isn’t really Owlcat’s fault I don’t think, it’s more just a consequence of choosing Pathfinder as the system to run your game in.
