I need to work on the rigging for the cuirass and jetpack before I put that thing on again...

6E1 p161 under Special Powers: "Characters can buy Special Powers with all standard Power Modifiers (unless otherwise noted). However, they ordinarily cannot buy them in Power Frameworks without the GM’s permission."  (This rule is also found on CC p50 and FHC p60.)

You're saying that a chart in the rulebook which literally shows 2DC killing costing 10 points and being either 1/2D6 or 1D6-1 is not clear enough for you?

Before things go too far off the rails (too late, I know)...let's inject some facts into things.
 
1. You're focusing in on issues with granularity in the system.  The more you focus on granularity, the worse it gets....kind of the nature of the beast.  So no, you don't get to say that "1D6-1 is 10 points, so 3D6-3 should be 30 points" -- as that completely ignores the granularity inherent in the system...and then arbitrarily re-applies it at the end.
 
2. RAW, which HD follows, is 5 points per DC.  1D6-1 and 1/2 D6 are both 2DC.  Why? Because granularity.  You can't have partial DC, per RAW.  Lacking partial DC, you should be limited to 1 pip (1 DC), 1/2 D6 (2 DC), and 1 D6 (3 DC) for killing damage...but there's that nagging desire for 1D6-1...so you go with rounding in the player's favor and call it 2 DC.  What does 2 DC cost?  10 points.

3. APG is not RAW.  It expands on RAW.  In this particular instance, it specifies optional rules to allow for partial DCs....making 1D6-1 2.5 DC.  If 1DC is 5 points, and 2 DC is 10 points, what does 2.5 DC cost?  12 points, when rounding in the player's favor.  Dealing with both partial DCs and partial points is not something that anyone wants to deal with, methinks.

From Steve Long (way back in 2012):
 
 
So, again, the RAW is clear.  The deviations you're seeing in the examples are due to Steve's predilection for using some rules from APG in his writeups (though he explicitly did not want those to become cannon and had me keep HD at the RAW of 2 DC = 10 points = 1/2D6, 1D6-1).  
 
It would have been significantly easier to code HD to have 1/2D6 killing = 10 points and 1D6-1 killing = 12 points...but that's not RAW and not what Steve wanted.

And...The Dog:

There is a fully searchable PDF (HDDocs.pdf) included with Hero Designer that explains things like this.
 

May want to look under the Power Frameworks menu at the top of the Powers tab.

That was my thought as well. 

So far (from what I understand) J6C, DOJ, and Jones' ex-wife are all seeking to attain the phone records....and I don't think there's anything keeping the parents' lawyers from delivering.

I think what you're looking for is on pg 49 of HDDocs.pdf (inside your main folder) near the top of the page.
If you change [DAMAGE] to [NNDDC] it should work.
 
(though personally I've never gotten the Weapon DC to work.
