[QUOTE="Spatula, post: 1591769, member: 2198"] Let's see... The Astral Legion crown has a 1st level power with manifester level of 18. So the base cost is: 375 x 1 x 18 = 6750. BUT, since the manifester level is higher than the minimum, the highest level power in the crown is treated as 1 level higher for every 2 additional manifester levels. 18 - 1 (the minimum) = 17 / 2 = +8 power levels for astral construct. So the cost instead should be 375 x 9 x 18 = 60750. The Astral Legion crown is actually a bit of deal, by the rules - it's costed as if astral construct were 7th level instead of 9th. It also doesn't conform to the statement on page 169, that a crown's manifester level can't be more than 5 higher than the minimum for the highest level power. EDIT: The number of power points in a psicrown is 50 x manifester level (50 x 18 = 900, for the Astral Legion crown), although I don't see that stated anywhere. Nevertheless, all the crowns given follow that formula. [/QUOTE]
