Active Point Calculation

[whitekeys]

On page 241 of the first volume Hero Sixth Edition rulebook, there is an example of a Killing Attack. The Dagger entry reads like this:

 

HKA 1d6, Reduced Endurance (0 END; +½) (22 Active Points); OAF (-1), STR Minimum (6; -¼), Real Weapon (-¼) (total cost: 9 points) plus Range Based On STR (+¼) for

HKA built on 22 Active Points (5 Active Points); OAF (-1), 1 Recoverable Charge (-1¼) (total cost: 1 point). Total cost: 10 points.

 

How are the 5 Active Points calculated for the Range Based On STR advantage in the second part of the entry? Are they calculated like a Naked Advantage, like on page 315?

 

I'm trying to write up a wookiee bowcaster, which functions as a regular crossbow PLUS Area Of Effect (Cone). There is another set of advantages and limitations on this particular function of the bowcaster, so I wanted to write it up similarly to the Dagger example in the book (which represents HTH and Ranged functions of the weapon), but I'm not sure how to initially calculate the Active Points.

It's calculated this way: ((22 x 1.25) - 22).

 

22 x 1.25 = 27.5, which rounds down to 27.

 

27 - 22 = 5 Active Points for the naked Advantage in question.
