Homebrew Races, rules question on wording.


Homebrew and House Rules


I have a rule question for the Race Builder Flight ability. (Answered see my second post).

The following ability states that you may take it multiple times and each additional time you take it, if you spend 2 RP you increase the Flight speed and maneuverability.

Quote:
Flight (4 RP): Prerequisites: None; Benefit: Members of this race have a fly speed of 30 feet with clumsy maneuverability. Special: This trait can be taken more than once. For each additional 2 RP spent, the race's fly speed increases by +10 feet, and the maneuverability improves by one step.

Does this mean that if you take the base feat by spending 4 RP. Then add an additional 2 RP to that cost (Total 6) You gain 40 FT flight with Poor Maneuverability.

Or, does this mean you would be required to spend 4 RP base + 6 RP, total 10 RP. To gain 40 ft Flight and Poor Maneuverability.


I found that the Gargoyle example on the Race Builder for the PRD example.

Has flight of 50 ft and average maneuverability. Though the cost for this is listed as 8 RP.

Under my two interpretations of the Rules As Written. This would seem to support the first.

Meaning that the first is 4 RP for the ability itself, +2 for increased flight and maneuverability multiplied by two.

Which is 30 + 10 + 10 = 50 Flight speed, and Clumsy -> Poor -> Average.
