[QUOTE="(Psi)SeveredHead, post: 2391824, member: 1165"] For Project Force? We would need a new power, or at least a modification of Concussion. (There was a Mind's Eye power that way similar, doing damage and knockdown, but it required a ranged touch attack roll, and I don't think the ray was invisible.) Animate Shadow - it isn't an exact conversion, no, but I think Control Light can either do this, or should be able to do this. Perhaps. The Gamma World power I was talking about didn't take a long time (and had no XP cost - not that anything in Alternity really did), but it only lasted a few rounds. In the meantime, the villain had a rubbery weapon. Heh heh. I was talking about 3.5 Animal Affinity. (Eg it can be used to fill in for Enhance Strength.) You could make a 1st-level power do the same thing, I suppose. Astral Caravan physically sends the creature(s) into the Astral Plane, while Astral Projection sends a "ghost" instead. Dimension Door 2e let you open a door for an extended period of time, letting you send multiple creatures through the door. It was great for raiding someone's tent. (But really, I'm saying that because I preferred the 2e version.) Yeah, that one. Ah hah ... Detect Hostile Intent is a good substitute for Life Detection, IMO. Yeah, that one. I don't really remember what Intensify and Enhancement did in 2e - going by memory. I know one boosted mental stats, and I can't recall what the other one did. (I never used them in 2e.) For Magnify, I would use Empower Power and Maximize Power ... basically anything that can increase the strength of a power. IIRC (and maybe I don't recall correctly) Martial Trance gave you a +1 bonus to hit and maybe AC. That's pretty similar to the Combat Precognition line of powers. Prolong might be Enlarge Power or Extend Power. (I don't recall.) [/QUOTE]
