However, it's possible they're using "the optional rules for multiplicative modifiers on page 102 of GURPS POWERS" mentioned by BaHalus, or it's possible this shows an inconsistency in the way base cost is defined.
I'll look into this, and if it does appear to be errata (or at least something that needs to be more clearly defined), will submit it to the errata coordinator. It won't be the first time I've pointed out errata (one example specifically about DF is at http://forums.sjgames.com/showthread...ghlight=weasel)
Thanks for pointing that out! |
It's not errata. The text for Ally says to apply the Frequency multiplier first, and then apply percentage modifiers to the resulting point cost, and that's what they do in all examples.
