Somehow, the bonus at 3rd level delivers a result of +3. I am baffled as to how it arrived at that result. Any ideas?

I would also put the value you want to round in a variable first. Then round the variable. I've found that to eliminate a lot of issues.

var bonus as number
var roundbonus as number

bonus = field[xTotalLev].value-2
roundbonus = round(bonus/4,0,-1) + 1

field[abValue].value += roundbonus

~Apply bonus to Perception skill
hero.child[skPercep].field[Bonus].value += field[abValue].value

It's a few more lines, but it makes things more readable.
