Automatons and CSLs with DCV

[mabalmer]

I'm fairly sure this has been asked before, but:

 

If an Automaton has Takes No STUN on their build and buys a Combat Skill Level with DCV, does it cost normal or triple?

 

I asked Dan about it earlier, but he seems to feel that it counts as a Defense Power, and thus costs triple, so I felt I'd make sure before I went and applied any cost multipliers to correct it in the meantime.

A DCV Level -- that is, a 5-point CSL only for DCV -- count as a "Defense Power" for the purpose of the tripling-the-cost rule for Automatons that Take No Stun. CSLs that can apply to many things (including DCV) do not.
