Good questions. Yes, this applies to every veteran level. In the current
code, the veteran chance is increased by 50% of the original value, so 50%
chance becomes 75% chance (not 100!), and 20% chance becomes 30% chance
etc..

So I guess we should fix the helptext. Setting it back to (ruleset
value+50)% would be way too powerful, IMO.
