That's a no-no per UP, page 108. The minimum cost for a Power is 1 point no matter how it is constructed. It is true that you can get more bang for your buck due to "fractional costs" BUT the point remains, you have to spend at least one point for that Power.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news. Hope this is in time for the next update to the software.

Keep up the good work,

Well, hate to be going back to this old post from last July but I just discovered that HL still let's a person pile on Drawbacks & end up EARNING power points. lol

For example: Strike 4 costs 4 points. Put 6 points worth of Drawbacks on it and it doesn't stop at a cost of 1 it rolls on to a value of -2 thus getting you are refund which is not legal. If you make it Strike 4 with a Power Flaw then you only need 3 points of Drawbacks to get to the -2 value. Oops.
