Invasion Y2K!

Mass conservation and Retains Shape is, basically, your "Humanoid only" for -40%. Technically, humanoid only would only be worth -20%. So, you might drop "Retains shape" and just keep "Mass Conservation."

3e isn’t nearly as well codified as 4e is. While there are still issues (Kromm and I will, on occasion, go around on some subject until Boo finally decide to make us agree to disagree and go off and kill zombies together, because we can’t get Borderlands to work multiplayer), it’s much easier to figure out than 3e.

The 3e price points are not terribly compatible with 4e. When in doubt, I default to 4e. It’s best to look at what the power does, and price it like something comparable. Genetic Match isn’t a 100 point advantage. At best, it’s a form of invisibility or a really limited mind control power. So, the Cosmic (Adding Utility, +50%) is your best bet.

The copies memories and personalities enhancements are not in 4e, as Mind Probe specifically fills that niche. Morph, in 4e, is an exotic, physical trait--not something conducive to mind-reading. That’s always going to be mind probe. And, you can’t add the ability to copy memories or personalities to Morph, in 4e, with Cosmic because you still can’t change the basic ability of the power.

If they have the IT homogenous in their morphed shape a cursory, medical, examination would prove that they are aliens. What you want is Injury Tolerance (Damage Reduction) with No Signature +20%. Homogenous isn’t that useful versus non-piercing/impaling attacks. Most super attacks and energy weapons would tear them up. IT/DR doesn’t care.

I’m not saying you have to change anything, but 4e does have specific ways of doing just about everything now. And, ultimately, it would be up to Bob, since, if he’s going to do a 4e IST book, he’ll have to pick and choose what he wants. But, if I were going to incorporate them into my IST game, I would be using a modified form of your template.
