Funny how I mentioned that all the way back in my first reply, but no one followed up. :)

Honestly, I find the options being discussed using Link and Alternative Abilities as convoluted and potentially confusing.

IMO, after consideration, the best thing to do may be to use an Alternate Form. For example:

Stat the template as such:
Increased Stats:
ST +3 [30]; DX +3 [60]; HT +3 [30].
Total: 120 pts.

Then use that as the basis for the Alternate Form, probably as follows:

Alternate Form (Increased Stats; Difference in Points: 120 pts) (Costs 2 FP/sec, -10%; Reduced Time 5 (instant change), +100%; Psionic, -10%) [135].

The Reduced Time is needed as switching to an Alternate Form normally takes 10 seconds; each level of Reduced Time divides that by half - level 1 is 5 secs, level 2 is 3 secs (2.5 rounded up), level 3 is 2 secs (1.25 rounded up), and level 4 is 1 sec (0.625 rounded up) - with the caveat that if the time is already dropped to a second the next level makes it instant.

Clear as mud?
