Absolutely, yes. The point of power modifiers is to unify the abilities in the power, to make them all behave the same way. That unity should take priority over saving a point or two, I feel.
And, of course, the ability might be built with more limitations than just the power modifier, and that extra -10% (or whatever, not all power modifiers are confined to that value) could make the difference between saving a point or not.
I suppose, if a player had a bunch of abilities that were
all below the threshold where the power modifier was saving them any points, I'd consider giving out an extra point or two to that character, to compensate a little. That would be no more than 1 point per two or three abilities, mind.
