Hello, I havn't done a search for the official answer on this one, but I have always gone with Case C. It has the least amount of rounding error - however it does make adding levels to an ability later difficult to recalculate. In that case - Case B may be a better choice.

When purchasing a leveled advantage with enhancements and limitations, do you apply the modifiers to the per-level cost, round off, then take however many levels? Or apply the modifiers to the per-level cost, buy up the levels, then round off? Or do you buy up the levels, then apply the modifiers? For example: Damage Resistance/20 (Force Field +20%, Super -10%) Case A: DR per-level 5, +20%, -10% = 5.5 per-level = 6 per-level => 20 levels * 6 = 120 Case B: DR per-level 5, +20%, -10% = 5.5 per-level => 20 levels * 5.5 = 110 Case C: DR per-level 5 => 20 levels * 5 = 120, +20%, -10% => 110 It's only a difference of 10 points, but when you're making characters for a 500 pt supers game it can add up quickly. I've looked in both Basic Characters and Powers. Characters says "You can apply any number of modifer to a trait. Total them to find the net modifier, and then apply this modifier to the base cost of the trait." It makes no mention of leveled traits, only the base cost. Powers doesn't seem to say anything on the matter (although I haven't done an exhaustive search yet). Thank you in advance, Chris J.
