On page 7 of Champions Complete there is an example to demonstrate Base, Active and Real points. A 3d6 blast is 15 pts (Base) and with a +1 Advantage, this doubles to 30 pts. (Active). The power also has two limitations that totals -3/4. The final Real cost is listed as 17. However, in my mind shouldn't the base cost of 15 be multiplied by 1.25 (as the +1 advantage is reduced by 3/4 for the two limitations, making the cost of the power increase by 1/4). It seems like the Real cost should be 15 x 1.25 = 18.75 (round up to 19) What am I mssing? Thanks in advance for any light you can shed on this.

Just bought Champions Complete and working on creating some characters in anticipation for recruitiing players. Two questions so far from character creation: If a character has darkness that has the area effect of self, in that it radiates outward from the character but then remains wherever it was created even if the character moves, is that a limitation? I have a teleportation where the destination has to be in Shadow/Darkness. What sort of limitation modifier would that be? Thanks very much in advance.
