From the FAQ, it seems that it is legal to take charges on an end reserve. Isn't this extremely unbalancing?
For example, take a 2D6 autofire attack (45 active pts) that normally costs 20 end per 5 shot burst. You can buy a 20 end reserve with an active cost of 2, and put 1000 or more charges on it for a +1 advantage and a net real cost of 4 pts. It's even worse for any regular powers that cost 10 end or less per use since the active cost would be 1 pt and the real cost would be 2 pts. It's essentially an almost free 0 end advantage on all your powers that cost end.
This would be a problem for regular end with charges, although not quite as much of one since it's a 2 for 1 rather than a 10 for 1 situation.
