Quote:-A "gain info from the dead" power, perhaps restricted by TEC, which allows a character to gain Info from a body but it works only once (maybe dissolves the body?)
-Reintroducing the "Life Detect" power (not sure why this one was removed, but I've caught a peek of some veterans having had it) which would allow a character to detect life in a wider radius than Enhanced Senses, but only generally 'there are living creatures somewhere in the radius', without being able to uniquely identify someone, or tell where they are?
-"Deep" Shapeshifting changing a character's body on an organic level, which doesn't flicker when someone is hit but takes longer to accomplish and doesn't hold up for combat.
-An "alternate-identity" mask or some other item that when put on allows the character to take on a second identity unbeknownst to other people, allowing them to visit factions where they have bounties or do faction affiliation quests for factions opposing the one they are in already, but they're not eligible for rewards other than flavor to prevent OM farming? This one would obviously need some way to prevent people from dodging bounties entirely, though.
A lot of these would be possible as moves. We don't really need a new power category for it.
Info from the dead is fodder (if given OOC permission from people you're learning about) - but I guess with telepathy or one of the spiritual unlocks you might be able to get something to let you see the body's dying moments or something like that without the permission. Maybe even with time manip (rewind time to see a vision of how it died). Or, get whatever other information. You'd need insight to know details of moves and stuff though.
I can see an Enhanced Senses move allowing you to detect life in a further radius if you add a drawback (maybe it's tiring or takes some more concentration).
For the shapeshifting one, I dunno. Maybe shapeshift + malleability. But you'd want it to be long term, so maybe a stamina drain. Unless you're fine with a charge time and reduced duration. Or maybe having it restrict you to keeping that form until you spend the time to change to a new one (like 5 mins out of combat or something).
The last one can basically be fodder depending on how far you're going. But with shapeshift and suppression you could pull it off without a move - but I'd ask for approval before you do any crazy double-agent stuff. And, again, people could still chase up your bounty if they put in the effort.
