A character could pay for Reduced END only on his bought Leaping if he wants, but then he'd still pay END for his STR-based Leaping.
Does that imply that the intention of the bonus leaping inches acquired from STR is that they be treated just like any other movement power -- i.e. you don't normally need to exert STR to use them, and for the purposes of applying advantages/limitations/etc. they can be treated just like any other movement power with free inches?
Returning to the example of a character with 60 STR who can normally leap 12", then he could leap his full move for 1 END rather than 6 (unless he wanted to exert his STR as part of the move, such as with a Move-Through.) Adding 20" of purchased leaping and buying Reduced END (1/2 END Cost) would follow the usual rule and be applied to all 32", for a cost of 8 points.
Is that correct? I hope so since it seems much simpler and more consistent with other kinds of movement than exerting STR to pay for base leaping END costs.
