Default Re: Converting Advantages to Skills or Techniques

sir_pudding's suggestion of Using Abilities By Default and Skills for Everyone is probably the closest you'll get for this. Note that both require you to buy at least one actual advantage, as well as pay for the skills.

I haven't checked on all the techniques in Power Ups, but I strongly suspect that all of them are actually not based on advantages at all. Rather, I believe they make use of the technique design system in Martial Arts, that lets you do various stunts and normally-impossible tricks with your skill, and assigns penalties to these. See "Creating New Techniques", Martial Arts pp. 89-95.
