BG1:

* = no penalties
** = +1 to hit, +2 to damage, +0.5 ApR
*** = +3 to hit, +3 to damage, +0.5 ApR
**** = +3 to hit, +4 to damage, +0.5 ApR
***** = +3 to hit, +5 to damage, +1.5 ApR

BG2:

* = no penalties
** = +1 to hit, +2 to damage, +0.5 ApR
*** = +2 to hit, +2 to damage, +0.5 ApR
**** = +2 to hit, +2 to damage, +0.5 ApR, -1 weapon speed
***** = +2 to hit, +3 to damage, +0.5 ApR, -1 weapon speed

I personally don't make much of a problem with the weapon proficiencies being nerfed somewhat, mostly due to the bonus proficiencies that BG2 allowed for. Dual wielding wasn't possible in BG1, and 2 handed weapon style and single weapon style have the +5% chance to crit benefits amongst others. It's swings and roundabouts really.
