Telekinesis without Concentrate

[Pursuivant]

While it's not intended for attack powers, the Reflexive enhancement (Powers p.109) might be a basis for an mental-based attack power which doesn't require concentration to activate.

Isn't this just Stretching with Force Extension?

main diff seems to be that stretching uses your own ST while TK uses it's own

stuff like Warp/Exoteleport is also based on your ST (basic lift) but has enhancements to **** it to Will-based which makes me wonder if you might also do that with Force Extensions

For what you are looking for, you want "Compartmentalized Mind (No mental separation, -20%; Limited, Telekinesis, ??%)" The value of the limitation depends on what other abilities you may have that are being cut out of use.

Reduced Time explicitly states, "You may only add this enhancement to abilities that require time to activate." The wording isn't random; activation is one thing, use is quite another. This is why Reduced Time also states in no uncertain terms that you cannot add Reduced Time to attack powers -- those aren't activated, but used via a maneuver such as All-Out Attack, Attack, or Move and Attack.

A GM could allow a +70% enhancement such as Second Nature (lifted from Clairsentience) or the more expensive form of Independent to make directing one's Telekinesis essentially a free action, but that would be the GM's call. At any rate, Reduced Time, +20% is both too cheap and clearly forbidden, while Reflexive, +40% would only be good for defensive uses. The canonical way to get physical actions as well as use of one's Telekinesis is, as others have said, through Compartmentalized Mind.

If you had more points to play with, I would suggest using alternative abilities, or a Wildcard Telekinesis! power to spin-off Bindings, Innate Attacks and the like, but with your point level, an independent telekinetic is going to be a tight build.
