--PK Armor would make you a lot harder to damage.
-- A PSYCHOKINETIC TRAP can hold someone helpless for a crucial moment while you belt them.
-- MOTION DETECTION (a PK power) is an extra layer of detection against sneaky people who think they can get by just on Ki Concealment.
-- PSYCHOKINETIC IMPACT can thump someone, emulating a DISTANCE ATTACK TECHNIQUE.
-- SHATTER, a PK power, can look remarkably like DESTRUCTION BY KI if you do it right.
-- FREEZE is a slightly weaker, single-target version of EVERLASTING MOMENT. Done right, it could be an ADDED STATE technique, like the FIVE-FOLD PRESSURE technique JOLSON has.
-- CRYSTALLIZE not only inflicts a penalty on an opponent, but also renders them vulnerable to MASSIVE DAMAGE aside from simple LIFE LOSS- things like BREAKAGE and AMPUTATION.
-- ELIMINATING SENSES (in Empathy) can render an opponent BLIND. At the right moment, this is devastating.
-- DESTROY FEELINGS (Another Empathy Power) can turn an opponent into a vegetable.
These are all abilities you have access to already. With physical increase:
-- Increasing your REACTION TIME is a simple task.
-- As is increasing your REGENERATION to the point where your wounds knit before your eyes.
-- TOTAL INCREASE can be layered with the rest and make you a bit of a powerhouse.
-- FAST MOTION is a hallmark of Ki users in particular, and you can EMULATE it with the INCREASE MOTION power.
There are a few others in various other Disciplines:
-- TELEPATHY would let you read someone's mind, which will give you a moderate bonus to all actions against them.
-- Later on in PYROKINESIS, CONSUME would act as an improved SHATTER.
-- ENERGY OBJECT CREATION (in ENERGY) can serve to improve your PROJECTION and act as another blind.
