Equivalence Formula

The summary cost is calculated as the number of abilities that the character gains for free, plus half the number of abilities that it can purchase with experience, minus half the number of limitations (disadvantages or things it cannot get). Note that in some cases, we only count some of the free topics at half value, if the character only gets a partial bonus in that area compared to everyone else.
