How I see it is, what the OP wants to know, example case, if she can put 6 unit of stat to a thing, say SS or Det. If it happened to be that one of them, with that 6 unit translates to like 24% increase in it's effectiveness and the other with 6 units to only 0.2% increase (numbers vastly exaggerated) she would like to know that, since it would tell where the 6 units is better spend.
That is to say, bigger number is better, obviously, but would like to know how much bigger the actual effect is, for amount of points used.
Is this even close?
