The title pretty much describes what I'm looking for here. I would like to expand the options available to adept characters - which have always been my second favorite character type (I like hermetic mages the best...). Since adepts are pretty much shafted in terms of canon sourcebook attention, I set my sights on the sorts of things my fellow DS'ers have come up with.

I already use the Knack adept power (though not the mystic blade one). I have also come up with the following powers:

Gecko Crawl - 1 or 2 ppts.

This power allows the adept to stick to surfaces if he or she so desires. This allows the adept to climb sheer walls and cling to ceilings. At least two limbs must remain in contact with the surface at all times. As an added benefit, the adept can not be disarmed and never need fear losing his or her grip. Forcibly removing the adept from a surface to which he or she is adhering requires a strength test with a target number equal to the sum of the adept's strength and magic scores, +2 for each adhered limb past the first two. The 1 ppt version allows a maximum movement rate when using the power equal to the character's walking speed. The 2ppt version allows the adept to run while using the power.

Enhanced Run - 1 ppt/level.

Each level of this power increases the running multiplier of the adept by 1, the athletics score of the adept by 1 for the purpose of running, and the body of the adept by 1 for the purpose of determining fatigue.

So... what powers have you come up with? Has anyone generated any adept-specific metamagic techniques?
