The text on the Vanguard Assault Mastery/Champion skills reads: Paragon/Renegade scores +20.00% (Rank 1), +40.00% (Rank 2), +70.00% (Rank 3), +100.00% (Rank 4, Champion).

My question is this: since these are listed as percentages (%s), the assumption is that ranking up Assault Mastery and evolving the skill into Champion gives you a greater bonus the later in the game you do this because you will have more Paragon or Renegade points for the calculation.

Example: 
Paragon points: 50
Evolve to Champion: 50 * 1.00 [100%] + 50 [Starting Points] = 100
Paragon points: 200
Evolve to Champion: 200 * 1.00 [100%] + 200 [Starting Points] = 400

You can imagine this to be akin to evolving with a half bar and getting another half bar of Paragon, resulting in 1 full bar versus evolving with a full bar and theoretically getting another full bar of Paragon, resulting in 2 full bars.

Has anyone experimented with this in game to see how the % bonus works in actuality? Is it actually a percentage? Is it a misprint and a static number of points? What have the rest of you experienced and what do you think?

Would like to understand this myself as it confused me...

I didn't notice any visual/permanent boost to my stats/bar...but I wasn't watching very carefully!

Could it just be a permanent modifier to whatever your current stats are when the computer "rolls" for events that require a certain level of Paragon or Renegade, but without actually applying a permanent value increase to the stat itself IYSWIM?

It increases the number of points you have and gain by that percentage. When I hit Champion, for example, I noticed a decent sized jump in the bar.

This is indeed what happens.

I maxed out Assault Mastery and evolved it into Champion with just over 1 full Paragon bar and barely a blip of a Renegade bar. I ended up with roughly 2 1/4 Paragon bars and maybe 1/4 Renegade bar.

Conclusion: The later in the game you rank up your class power, the more benefit you gain in bonuses to your Paragon/Renegade scores.

I don't think it matters. It multiplies ALL points you get. so if you max it asap or at the end doesn't matter, your points are going to end up the same.
