No the present value of the stat has no effect on the
ability to raise it, only the number of times that stat has previously been
raised.

Very Low = 1 or 2
        Low     = 3 or 4
        Moderate = 5 or 6
        High    = 7 or 8
        Very High = 9 or 10 (this is a generally accepted rule of thuimb)

I've never seen any concrete proof that these are accurate, just
makes sense considering the 5 categories.  Whether it works is more a
function of the warrior.  (I refuse to run one of my strikers 4-2-x until at
least teh 6th and on minute.
