Possible glitch with charecteristics as powers

[tiger]

Hey

I was working up a suit of armor that gave the wearer bonus to his characteristics. When I gave +5 DEX, OIF & No figured Characteristics he said the cost was -23. Didn't seem right, is there something I'm missing here ?

Forgot to attatch the file, sorry

You're telling HD to "Apply Modifiers to base Characteristic"
