So I just had an interesting thought.

We know that in the SR5 book, it says that Mystic Adepts can buy Power Points in character creation for 2 Karma each. Everyone read that and went, "Wha?"

The temporary errata that was quickly laid down is change that cost from 2 Karma per Power Point to 5 Karma per Power Point. This is definitely better, but still seems a little low.

Here's the interesting thought I had: maybe the cost was supposed to be 2 Karma per QUARTER point, not full point. So that would cost 8 Karma for a Mystic Adept to buy a full Power Point. This is the same price as binding a Qi Focus, which makes sense to me.

(I know it specifically spells out on pg 69 2 Karma for a FULL Power Point, but it could just be a particularly egregious typo.)
