A character has 15 STR, and has an OAF 1d6 HKA. How much does Armor Piercing (+1/2) for that HKA cost? It seems to me that cost should be calculated based on 30 points: 15 from STR, and 15 from the HKA. However, I almost always see this power bought just as:
1d6 HKA, Armor Piercing (+1/2), OAF: Sword (-1). Active Point Cost: 22, Real Cost: 11
However, by my logic, it ought to be:
1d6 HKA, OAF: Sword (-1) plus Naked Modifier, Armor Piercing on 30 Active Points, OAF: Sword (-1). Active Point Cost: 30, Real Cost: 15
I feel like I'm greatly overcomplicating what has seemed for years to be a simple matter.
