I have a question -- when you get a critical, STAB, an item that deals extra dmg., etc. Does it multiply like this?

Normal - 1.0
Stab - 1.0 x 1.5 = 1.5
Critical - 1.5 x 2.0 = 3.0

Does it work like that or does it just multiply off the base value of one?

It is cumulative - i.e. STAB + Critical multiply off each other like you said ;)

This can include pretty much any attack modifier (like hold items to boost power)

Also I think (though this could be wrong) that it rounds it to the nearest attack point after every multiplication:

Base Power 85
STAB 85 * 1.5 = 127.5 = 128
Critical 128 * 2 = 256

N.B. If you round afterwards, the result is only 255 ;)

I thought it always rounds down...
