Check Required
"If the check succeeds, the character gains the use of 1 effect rank per point the check exceeds the DC. Thus a check result of 14 allows the character to use up to 4 ranks of the effect."
Should say:
"With one rank in Check Required, the DC of the check is 11. If the check succeeds, the character gains the use of 1 effect rank per point the check exceeds the DC. Thus, a check result of 14 allows the character to use up to 3 ranks of the effect."
Or something like that. The example listed doesn't make sense, because it would imply the original DC was 10, which would mean zero ranks of the flaw.
Actually, because rolling an 11 would count as a success, a check result of 14 would, in fact, get you 4 ranks of the power.
DC 11 -- 1 rank of the power
DC 12 -- 2 ranks
DC 13 -- 3 ranks
DC 14 -- 4 ranks
...and so on.
But I agree that mentioning that "With one rank in Check Required, the DC of the check is 11." would be a welcome addition.
