Item math it hurts my head

(1/5) > >>

Runhide:
 In another post someone created this character and I have no idea how they got 9 power and 3 frequency for the final items.  What stats or skills add up to make this?  What is the math for it? 

Skills:

Superb (+5):
Lore

Great (+4):
Conviction
Discipline

Good (+3):
Resources
Craftsmanship
Scholarship

Fair (+2):
Presence
Alertness
Endurance
Weapons

Average (+1):
Guns
Contacts
Stealth
Deceit
Empathy

Powers:
-3 Thaumaturgy (Speicialist: Crafting)
-1 The Sight
-0 Soulgaze
-0 Wizard's Constitution
-3 Refinement (1 Crafting Refinement, 2 focus items refinement)

Stunts:
-1 2 Seconds into the future (Lore to defend against physical attacks)

Current Refresh: 2 (10-8)

Crafting:

Items have 9 power, 3 frequency
Speicalist: +1 frequency
Refinement: +1 Power and Frequency
Focus Item: +2 Power and +1 Frequency

Items: 6 Focus Items

-3 Chisel of Enchanting: +2 Power and +1 Frequency (Crafting)
-0.5 Force Ring: Weapon:9 Attack, 3 uses
-0.5 Ring of Protection: Block 9 or Armor:4, 3 uses
-2 4 open Potion slots, 9 shifts, 3 uses each.

sinker:
Seems to me they miscounted, or maybe changed something and forgot. Should be 8 power, 4 frequency.

Um thanks for the reply but what + what = 8 power and 4 frequency?  what is the math?

sinker:
Superb lore = 5 power
+ Refinement = 1 power
+ Focus Item = 2 power
= 8 power

Base 1 uses per session
+ Refinement = 1 use
+ Specialization = 1 use
+ Focus item = 1 use
= 4 uses

Refinements can give you two specializations (Which he has split between power and frequency) and the focus item seems legit.

Although I just thought of something. Can you have two specializations in the same thing? His original specialization is in crafting frequency and then he gains a specialization in crafting frequency through refinement.

Wilder:
Math Writen as an equation

(Lore +5)+(Focus+2)+(Refinement +1)= Power of 8
(Base 1)+(Specialization+1)+(Focus+1)+(Refinement+1)= Frequency of 4

So that should be the base items using one item slot. Obviously items using more than one slot could differ +1 on either for each additional slot used.
