Gravity/Fire Dominator?

ye i thought about that, also a energy/kin corr.
You'd be hard pressed to duplicate the power of 3 in any form in game.
Though I do have a PB 'Whitelighter' of sorts.
For Piper I'd probably go with sleeps for the time stop effect and something with Knockback for the speed up 'boom' send em flying effect (since nothing will explode into pieces, only fall down otherwise)
Prue would be easier, Mind/Whatever secondary you want (Utilizing the secondary as spells and potions and whatnot.)
Paige would need the teleport pool naturally, with that any combo could work.
Phoebe on the other hand... Empathy is a natural but nothing to really tie in with her premonitions.
Yes I'm a guy and I've seen every episode of Charmed more than once, I'm secure enough to say that.

@Joshua.
In truth, I utterly refused to give this show a look since I figured it'd be Dawson's Creek with powers.
Then about 5 years ago I was flipping channels and landed on an interesting scene with some demon looking dude flinging fireballs.
Cole is the reason I kept watching. Well, the relationship between him and Pheobe. (Stupid Source taking him away *shakes fist angrily at writers*)
I digress.
Yeah I stopped for an interesting action scene and ended up getting ingrossed in the story and universe. It also helped that my girlfriend at the time loved the show and it gave us something to watch together.

Ye pipers seems the hardest to replicate.
I think i will go for energy/ corr for the kb, explosive blast and nova.
Its not going to be a remake of the character, just the powers.
The freezing time part will be tricky for a corr though.
Eng/Sonic Corr would have a few sleeps. Though the sounds and visuals may throw the concept off too much.
I think Corruptors get Blaster epics though so you could grab a ST hold and use that as time stop. Though that requires going 41 levels before having it...
When you really get down to it though, concept wise. Once Piper developed the speed up ability and to a lesser degree when she took over for Prue as the eldest she began using her powers more offensively, resorting to freezing time only in desperate situations. Towards the end it seemed everyone started gaining immunity to the freeze to some degree.
Man, now I really want a proper Time Control/Molecular manipulation Controller!!

same... lol.
gravity control fits time control best, but energy assault is a bit meh and not all that explosive
You might not enjoy the a Grav/Fire Dom though as the coolness of grav diminished greatly with domination.
Why not alter things and make a Ice/Fire Dom. Does not stop time but stops things and blows them up. It's a really deadly combo.
It's true though we lack for some things that mimic more sorcery based powers.
If you wanted something more subtle that "Stops Time/Movement, I would even go with Mind/Fire Dom. Minds animations are generally subtle in most cases, and could be used to simulation both Pru and Piper's special talents, but teaming it with fire in my mind would echo Piper more.
Wouldn't a Mind/Kin or a kin/energy do the job. Kinetics allows you to speed things up and slow them down. The heal could be explained as using time to heal wounds.

I am not sure why, but I think Sonic/Sonic Defender would look like her...
The blasts have a molecular looking animation to them, and shockwave is a big explosion... Siren's Song could be like an AoE freeze... Sonic Cage is like a ST Freeze... You could figure out ways to theme the other powers too I'm sure I just don't remember more than that! I think she had shields when she was preggers right? That could tie in sonic dispersion and the shields!
Well technically Wyatt was creating the shield while she was Pregnant but yeah.

Tossing in my vote for Grav/Kin. Grav slows down, Kin speeds up (and slows down).

We will honor the past, and fight to the last, it will be a good way to die...
Rad. You have a slow (lingering radiation), haste (accelerate metabolism) and time stop (EM Pulse).
For making things blow up, I'd go fire blast. Sounds like a fire/rad corruptor.
Recently i have been watching through a past favourite tv series 'Charmed' Which is about three witches etc etc....
one of which - piper - has the abilities to slow down molecules so the object or person is 'frozen in time' she then developed the ability to accelerate molecules to blow things up. Basically molecular manipulation.
Now my question is....Which power sets best fit these two powers.
Any ideas?
I will be grateful for any ideas, thankyou.
