It is more expensive than buying base DR yes, if that's what you're asking, but since the original build had Regeneration in it I need to compare it to the cost of Base DR plus the cost of Regeneration (at whatever level) to get "Cast=Instant Regen", and to allow Costs FP to do something it doesn't (AFAICT) normally do. Sure it's insanely costly but it 's actually cheaper and you get this little neat dynamic that looks more like a spell or power:

The character

1) pays x FP
2) gets DR
3) gets hit and loses some
4) doesn't get hit for a while so it sits there not regenerating... for a bit
5) when its duration is up the character doesn't maintain it so it goes away.

Then
1) GM describes something scary
2) character pays x FP and instantly gets DR back!
