HCC and Character cost question.

[jdm61802]

I am just getting to knw this program but keep hitting a wall. I know the program does not have all of the special abilities so I am attempting to use the program to figure out what the base cost of some figures are then subtract that from the actual cost to calculate the cost of a special ability. Problem is that several characters base cost are coming out higher on HCC then their actual cost.

Example...
Blade Gruts are 40 points, but HCC has them at 55.

Am I missing a detail, or is it just that HCC can only give a ball park figure.

If it is a ball park figure, then how far off would those of you who have used HCC regularly say it is off by?

Thanks.
