Concentration 1/2 DCV Question

[Gauntlet]

When using a power that has the Concentration 1/2 DCV Limitation on it would the 1/2 DCV include any skill levels added to the character's DCV as well.

 

For Example:

 

A character with a DCV of 6 adds 4 skill levels to his DCV.

Would his DCV when halved become 7 (6/2+4)

or

Would his DCV when halved become 5 ((6+4)/2)

[Steve Long]

Yes, it would. As noted on the DCV Checklist on 6E2 37, Combat Skill Levels are applied before the halving of DCV (since halving is always the last step in the calculation). So in your example, the character’s DCV would be 5.
