Changes To Merit Weaponskills ?

SE adjusted the stat modifier gains for merit weapon skills a good while ago. Putting a single merit in now is roughly equivalent to between 4 and 5 merits in when they were introduced. (Stat mod was 17% per merit capping at 85%, they now begin at 73% gaining 3% per additional merit to still cap at 85%) Resolution has a STR modifier of 73% at one merit, and 85% at 5.; there are no other differences between fully unlocked and a single merit point; i.e. the attack penalty doesn't scale, etc.
