Ooookay.

There was a bug in the calculation logic, so that rounding UP was restored if every modifier on a tier didn't set it to DOWN. It's supposed to set to DOWN if any modifier sets it to DOWN, and keep it that way for the tier. So, for a single modifier it worked correctly, but for cases where there were normal UP modifiers listed after a DOWN modifier, it would be wrong. (This particular bug has existed since at least 2017.)

So, that should be fixed next release.

I also noticed that the modifiers for the Disadvantage version of Reputation were not flagged as round(down), so those would not have rounded correctly anyway (assuming down does in fact mean away from zero for the negative values in this case.)
