Since using Sound doesn't require much strategy and players would often use solely Sound to breeze through everything in ''VideoGame/ToontownOnline'', it comes with a buff and debuff. Using Sound once will increase your damage output by 8% the next turn, but if you choose to use Sound again, your Sound is debuffed to half its regular damage for a few turns.

** Most skills add a constant numerical bonus every level, which gives a smaller percentage bonus overall.
** Some skills instead have diminishing percentage bonuses. For instance, the Dream skill Psionic Immolation goes from 96 to 129 Electrical Burn damage from level 1 to level 2, which comes out to +33 or 34%. The skill goes from 494 to 544 Electrical Burn damage level 11 to level 12, or +50 or +10% damage.
** Skills like Resilience and Accelerated Regrowth lower the cooldown of its base skill by a fixed percentage each level.

At level 5, it becomes once every four seconds (2x speed) cooldown. At level eight, once every two seconds (4x speed).

* Stats in ''VideoGame/DemonsSouls'' tend to start giving diminishing returns when brought up to somewhere around level 30-50; Endurance is the most extreme, as at level 40 it outright stops giving stamina boosts.
** Its spiritual successor ''VideoGame/DarkSouls'' has a soft cap of 40, but diminishing returns really hits hard at 50, in which the only reason you want 50 in that stat is for spell requirements (such as 50 Intelligence for White Dragon Breath and 50 Faith for Sunlight Spear). The exception is Carrying Capacity, which is tied with Endurance stat; while Endurance stops giving any stamina boost after 40, increasing it beyond 40 gives you one point of carry capacity per level, that is, a flat-rate increase.
** ''VideoGame/DarkSoulsII'' both plays this straight and inverts it: ''all'' stats have diminishing returns and the soft cap is still at 40, but the points from 30-40 are worth considerably ''more'' (about 50% greater return per point) than the first thirty. Some advantages of a stat won't even show up ''at all'' below a certain value; for instance, spells won't start getting extra casts until you get attunement above 20.
** ''VideoGame/EldenRing'' continues and elaborates on this system. As the game presents far more chances to gain experience than its linear predecessors, all stats have tiers of non-linear growth. For damage-related stats, growth typically slows starting at 20, again at 50 or 55, and reaches a crawl past 80. Vigor and Mind only have two soft caps (40/60 Vig, 55/60 Min) while Endurance has one at 50. Damage scaling of spells has its own set of soft caps dependent its related stats (60/80 for Int and Fai, 30/45 Arc). While all stats can be raised to 99, doing so offers little practical benefit: returns diminish so much that the only reason to invest points in a stat after its second soft cap is to fulfill the requirements for equipping the highest tiers of weapons or spells.

** The series, in general, has long employed this trope. You increase your skills through the successful use of said skills. Each time a skill is used successfully, the skill's progression will raise a percentage. (For example, if you strike enemies with a long sword, your Blade/Long Blade/One-Handed skill will increase.) Once that progression reaches 100%, the skill will increase one point. Once you gain ten skill increases, you go up one CharacterLevel. However, the higher said skills get, the longer it takes to progress them. Essentially, it is very quick and easy to go from a total novice to adept in a particular skill, but it is much harder and takes much longer to go from that point to maxing out the skill. Additionally, skill trainers charge exponentially more gold to train you at the very highest levels. (Though will all of the series' MoneyForNothing, this can be considered trivial.) This is why it is advisable to save [[RareCandy skill books]], which raises a certain related skill by one when read until the skill is at a very high skill level.

* ''VideoGame/Wizard101'' did this previously, changing all gear to no longer use percentages and change to a damage rating. They made it so 1 damage rating counted as 1 percent. However, once you reached 150 damage and tried to go up, you'd get diminishing returns. Lots of people on the forums as well as the subreddit complained about this, especially because the developers kept making gear with higher stats, yet punishing players for using them. Eventually, although the developers didn't exactly revert the change, they increased it to a much higher number at around 220 damage. This is an amount that cannot currently be reached without rare circumstances (like a quest helper increasing your damage), rare gear (certain decks exist that give up to 10% damage, but those are difficult to obtain and are impractical for normal gameplay anyway), or using real money to buy temporary elixirs that increase your damage further. It still exists in PVP environments where your damage gets reduced further than in PVE environments, and this is also the case with resistance stats. They did this because of complaints of jading (using gear with high resistance and healing abilities to prevent people from dealing damage and defeating the player while the person doing the jading is intentionally wasting the time of the person attacking them, encouraging them to either flee or run out of cards (running out of cards in a player vs player battle counts as an automatic loss to the player)).

* ''TabletopGame/BattleTech'': The way engine mass works, there is an optimal engine size and speed for any given 'Mech mass and while deviating from this may give some benefits, dramatically over-engining results in a 'Mech with virtually no room for weapons or armor as the engine mass increases more and more with each extra point of movement added. Conversely, under-engining results in smaller and smaller weight savings for the same reason. As such, most practical 'Mechs won't deviate much more than a point of movement in either direction from this curve. The later addition of Light and XL engines shifts this curve in favor of faster designs, but doesn't actually get rid of the curve.

* This trope is why it's recommended to take breaks when exercising for long periods, especially if you're out of shape or just haven't been doing it in a while. Your body can only handle so much exertion and strain before fatigue sets in, and trying to power through will just make it worse while you gain very little. There's even a risk of hurting yourself by doing that. Taking breaks gives your body a chance to recharge and repair the tiny tears formed in your muscles, in order to rebuild them to be stronger in the future.
