A full letter grade is roughly 70% increase in effort
Wait...since when? In 2.0 a full letter grade was widely regarded as a 40% advantage, with 1/3 of a letter grade being (40^(1/3)) and 2/3rds of a letter grade being (40^(2/3)) advantage.
I wasn't aware of any changes to how prestige advantages worked in 3.0, other than they appear to matter less. And I use the word appear because prestige used to be 100% of the calculation where now if a player has 5 preferences prestige is roughly 1/6th of the calculation now.
