I don't think so, Naaman, because this is about improving Telekinesis which is directly related to Reactive Training.

| I meant with the muzzle velocity... But, it's not like it really matters. It's an open forum, after all. |

Was just using it as a point of reference to try to get a more workable system from.

I treat "reactive TK" like absorb/dissipate energy and use the damage of the projectile as the difficulty, since, presumably, the damage incorporates both the mass and the velocity of the projectile to be deflected. And this method has the advantage of being simple and not requiring either physics or a new chart. |

Brilliant! But I don't it would work for grenades...(?) |

Only after the explosion and then with an added difficulty for the area affect. 
Pre-explosion it's probably no more difficult than a thrown rock again with an added difficulty since you have to not only deflect it, but actually move it out far enough to be outside of the area of effect. |
