Farcape d20 question - Control points and Sebaceans

[BlackSheep]

Pure-bred Sebaceans, in exchange for their vulnerability to heat, get the special ability to spend 6 CPs and get +2 to a skill roll.

However, the CP table on page 244 (I think) states that anyone can spend 3 CP for a +1 to attack, defence or a skill roll, and moreover can do this up to five times on a single roll.

In other words, the Sebacean special ability just reproduces an ability which all races have anyway.

What gives? Are Sebaceans supposed to get a better rate of exchange or something?

Sebacean Racial Trait
Sebaceans need spend only 3 control points to gain a +2 modifier when making an attack or skill check, not 6 control points as listed
