Aid vs. Powers with Continuing Charges

[Guest innominatus]

Suppose you have a power that runs off a series of Continuing Charges (say for example, a +20 ED Force Field with 4 Charges of 1 Minute each.) You then use Aid on the Force Field, increasing the power to, say, +30 ED. Then you activate one of the charges. After one turn, 5 Active Points from the Aid would fade from the Force Field. If you were to trigger the power again now, you'd only get a +25 ED Force Field. But does the charge that's already active ALSO lose 5 Active Points, or does it maintain the strength that it had at the time it was activated, for the length of its charge?

Both the Charge in use when the Aid takes effect, and any Charge activated after it takes effect, lose the points gained from the Aid at the same rate. In your example, they’d both be at +25 ED.
