And, as per Ultimate Power page 13, increasing your range increment does not increase your maximum range. If you only take 1 ranks of Improved range and none of progression, you'd have Blast 7 [Improved Range (range increment 175 ft)] with maximum range (7*10*10 = 700 ft), and only 4 range increments. Add one rank of progression on there and your range increment is still 175 ft, but your maximum range becomes 7*10*25 = 1750 ft and you again have 10 range increments. If you only had Progression (Range), you'd have the standard range increment of 70 ft with a maximum range of 1750 ft and you'd have 25 range increments (although, at -2 per increment, your odds of hitting anything become really slim after 15 or so).
Completely agree that PF: Improved Range only affects the Range Increment. Never thought about it making the x10 into x25 for these Power Feat....I assumed you started at x1 on the Time and Value Chart as additional multiplier one layered onto the base formulas for distances.
