[QUOTE="Infiniti2000, post: 2905690, member: 31734"] Whoa, wait a minute. After finishing my coffee, let me say that's not right. The "multiple similar abilities" rule is for "items ... that don’t take up space on a character’s body." This is not such an item. In any case, you calculated it wrong because you add 2500 + 1875. you don't add in 1875 as a penalty. It's a reduction on the second ability. For slotted items, there's a lot of debate. The most common implementation I see is to treat them as multiple different abilities and price the subsequent abilities at +50%. So the total cost would be 2500 + 3750. This implementation occurs because the rule is repeated later where the "different" aspect is not included: "If the item is one that occupies a specific place on a character’s body the cost of adding any additional ability to that item increases by 50%."
