icon Item HP Mult of 420 rounds incorrectly (+4)  
If you set _ItemHPMult to 420, picking up a large health potion will give 839 HP, instead of the expected 840. There's some floating point weirdness going on here. It would be best to avoid floating point numbers, what other inconsistencies might happen if numbers get big?

Note that this issue does impact a released hold. The 2016 Year of RPG contest compilation has an entry called Perfect Cherry Blossom, that adds a new collectible item that adds 0.2 to the multiplier (i.e. 20 given how it works internally). This is where I first spotted this issue. So fixing this bug may cause some scores to be off by tiny amounts of HP and therefore fail to verify, but I think it's best to fix it.

I appreciate the report.

ATK and DEF multiplier vars (and possibly monster HP, etc) had similar floating point imprecision, and I fixed this too.

Fixed for 1.2.8 in this PR.
