Then, beg my pardon for asking, but what's the point?  If what you're saying is true, then our progression rates change only<em>once</em>, maybe twice if you start out as a Trainee class, and each time it happens you get 5 points to spend, so you're largely stuck with the progression rate you set your character up at.  Oh, yes, you can boost one of your stat progressions a<em>little</em>, but the only way that that has a noticeable effect is if you start as a Trainee class, and put all your points into the boosting the same stat's progression.<br/><br/>You'd be better off, IMO, giving people the extra points when they build the character, and then eliminating this boost when promote business.
