In 6e1 242 Sidebar, the semiautomatic .45 handgun has an active cost of 34. When I tried to duplicate that in Hero Designer, it came up with an active cost of 31 (25 x 1.25 = 31.25 rounded to 31). This is where I have the problem. I reverse engineered the active cost of the handgun and came up with an original cost of 27 for 2d6-1 (27 x 1.25 = 33.75 rounded to 34).
Now for the question: Is the sidebar correct where d6-1 is +12 points (making 2d6-1 27 points)? or the main text of the power correct where 1 DC is +1 (5 points) and 2 DCs is 1/2d6 or 1d6-1 (10 points) (from table on page 462).
P.S. Even the Equipment Guide uses +12 points for d6-1.
P.P.S. This is an artifact from previous editions.
Opinion: If each d6-1 is +12 points, then Hero Designer needs to be updated. If not, then the published books need an errata on this.
EDIT: 6E2 98 Damage Class Table has 2d6-1 as 25 points. Question still stands: is 6E1 242 sidebar correct with 2d6-1 being 27 points (in order to get the active cost according to the sidebar)? or 6E2 98 DCT 2d6-1 is 25 points?
