Odd Elemental Controls

[Christougher]

I posted this on the 5E Questions thread:

 

Don't have Revised, so apologies if this is covered explicitly there.

 

And the answer was:

 

See 5ER 313.

 

Since it seems he didn't read that first sentence, can someone with 5ER answer this question?

 

 

Both elemental control examples in 5th used 50 AP or higher powers. What happens when it's an odd costing power, resulting in a half point somewhere?

 

Is it:

23 EC: Flame On!

22 a) Force Field 16 PD/20 ED @ 1/2 END(+1/4)

22 Flight 18" @ 1/2 END(+1/4)

22 c) Ranged Killing Attack 3d6

 

or:

22 EC: Flame On!

23 a) Force Field 16 PD/20 ED @ 1/2 END(+1/4)

23 Flight 18" @ 1/2 END(+1/4)

23 c) Ranged Killing Attack 3d6

 

or something else? Yes, the point difference is minimal, but which is the most correct?

Second one is right: EC Pool cost can not exceed half the cost of the smallest power, so you have to round halves down on 'EC pool' cost.

Thanks. That's the way I've always been doing it, for some reason it just occurred to me to question it.
