Champions Online - Powers and Screens

More about the power sets in Champion's Online can be found on Ten Ton Hammer covering the psychic power set: Telekinesis, Force, and Telepathy, where they interviewed Bill Roper about it.

Can you tell us a little bit about the Force, Telepathy, and Telekinesis power sets, the themes with them, and some of the secondary powers players can have when they pick these powers?

Bill Roper: Sure. Force is almost more kinetics than telekinetics. Force features a lot of powers that shove people back. There is a lot of knockback involved. It’s more of a physical presence, a kinetic power set.

Telepathy is definitely a straight mind set where you are doing things like summoning pets you use, other illusions or creatures of the mind, as well as some direct powers like mental bolts.

Telekinesis features a lot of what you'd expect out of this power set, but it also has the ability to create weapons out of mental energy. A lot of what we are putting in right now is being able to do things like being able to pick up objects with your mind and throwing them around.

And there is some info about power replacers on the official site.

Power replacers are items you can equip, which will change the effect of specific powers you use in the game. These items are not widely available, and will not be available for every power nor every power set. At launch, Martial Arts and the sets that have something to do with using items will have them. There’s talk about letting Sorcery have wands, but it’s still a “maybe”. The amount of time it takes for us to make and develop power replacers is much longer than the amount of time it takes to create a brand new power, oddly enough. It’s our opinion that the majority of players would prefer having a new power than an item that simply makes a cosmetic change to an existing power.

And finally you can take a look at five new screens.
