sorta.  there are instances where the +5% is completely ignored; this is
almost entirely in various mocha functions.

the rest of the game uses stat pairs (help stat pairing).  the +5%s can
help there.  the pairing of the stat is done by the harmonic average
2*a*b/(a+b), which basically means the weaker number wins out.

The harmonic average cannot go above 25, but if you had 25 str,
+20% to str, and 10 agility, and you were looking at the melee damage
then the +20% str would factor in and give you the avg of 15 instead of
14.3.

List of stat pairs for Skills:

"Enrage"           S_WIL, S_STR,
