well, 5 with a cap of 7 would really put me at about 7.12 in the old system. Even a 6 would have been low balling me.
This would only be true if the improvement in effect between 5 and 7 is the same as the one between 3 to 5, which might or might not be the case.
I understand the system in a way that level 2 is not 200% of level 1. The surplus effect of each additional level, starting from one, decreases.
Example (example!):
1 = 100
2 = 150
3 = 175
4 = 187,5
5 = 193,75
6 = 196,875
etc...
In this example the effect is halved; in reality it will be more complex, but for the purpose of this demonstration it shall suit.
Therefore I see the difference between 5 and 7 not to be the same as between 3 and 5. It is indeed smaller.
@ Dr. Fader: no, I have no authority... ;-)
Without saying that the numbers themselves are accurate (as I have no idea), the concept is pretty much that.
In the old system, there was a fairly minute difference between a 9 and a 10, and the difference became greater the further down the scale you went.
I'd be surprised if that was changed.
