Yep, it's true (though you never did get additional half attacks per extra proficiency in BGI or IWD). There's a hack out there that restores the AD&D rule that you get two attacks per round as a grand master. Who knows, maybe this nerf on grand masters was unintentional (though it is true both in game when you pump in the points, and in manual). The change making masters (3 slots) no longer overwhelmingly better than specialized was the right decision, though. I think it's a bit of a waste to put more than three slots in a proficiency (like speed faction did anything).
