i have 2 merits in falling forward but its not working .

each time i fail i see no % gain

I have LVL 5, it works like the second time i fail in a row but its realy a small %

The perk is currently working as intended, but I will release an update shortly to buff it.

The perk has been buffed to 1% per level. Meaning with all 10 levels unlocked you would expect to gain 10% of your normal success skill gain.
