With chameleon, healing and unarmed combat I could rule the world.
Give me arbitrary code execution and privilege escalation in the simulation we live in and I’ll be satisfied.
Just give me being attractive and fuck the rest.
Shapeshifter, telekinesis and magic. Efficiency and modularity. And i’m lazy.
Insanely rich: cheat codes for a comfortable life.
Shapeshifter: renders attractiveness options irrelevant and has enormous utility.
Psionics or magic, depending on strength and utility. For pscionics it really depends on how broad a range we’re talking about. If it’s just one thing or two things, nah. Being able to fling things around with my mind and pyro/cryo/electrokinesis are all tangently attached to telekinesis is great. But so is being able to throw fireballs in reanimate the dead. So really it would depend on the rules and mechanics for the magic/psionic systems. I think pscionics if it’s more like The Force or something strong from GURPS or RIFTS, magic if it’s something strong from RIFTS or D&D. If both are awesome then I’d pick whatever has the most utility probably. Especially since magic can duplicate psionic abilities using certain magic systems. But if it’s lame magic or requires something like Faustian pacts or answering to any kind of more powerful entity, screw that. But depending on the mechanics, psionics and magic are just different kinds of magic systems.
Tldr, being a stupidly rich shape-shifting reality bender sounds like the life.
You could use many of the other options to become insanely rich relatively quickly 😅
But yeah I guess skipping the part where you rob a bank or something does have some appeal 😅
Just need Magic and you can do all of the other things
Attractive female, attractive male, invisibility
I’m the most beautiful creature on earth, and only I decide who gets the privilege of knowing it
Wouldn’t “chameleon” be enough for that? Or “shape shifter”?
That depends on what chameleon means exactly. Does it let you change color, is it more like a predator cloak, or is it like being an octopus, or is it more like being able to blend in through body language and pheromones and become kind of hidden, or being a social chameleon who can fit into any circumstances. It’s kind of a vague word without any more description.
It still would be like Makeup, hiding blemishes and stuff, but yeah, thinking about it again, it might just be shapeshifting.
That would mean you could turn into an attractive form but you wouldn’t be inherently attractive in your own.
Shapeshifting doesn’t have any limitations in this picture, so you might as well choose a form and stick to it as your new standard. The chameleon might only function as a kind of makeup, where you temporarily hide your blemishes, I’m not sure.
wtf is this list, these are absolutely not equal powers. Magic alone accounts for 80% of this list. Magic, Divine Power, Attractive Lady is just the meta choice. Who the hell is gonna take something lame like Stamina or Invisibility when you could use magic powers to make yourself invisible and fly.
Lmao I didn’t see divine powers, I guess you can just pick that and stop there, once you’re a literal god give yourself anything on the list, easy-peasy.
I’m taking it to mean something more akin to a cleric’s Domain from D&D, as opposed to you turning into divinity. So you can pray to your god, and as long as it’s within your god’s domain, it will be granted.
That is still fucking busted, especially if combined with magic, but to your point, godhood makes the whole list moot.
Teleportation, invulnerability, siphon abilities.
And then I teleport to everyone in the thread.
Unless someone has teleportation, intellect, and siphon abilities. Then they might outwit me and find someone invulnerable before I do. But I might find someone intellectual before they do. And then it becomes a race.
Comic adaptation when?
【 That time I got 3 superpowers from a Lemmy post, but so did everyone else? Yuusha no Skill Siphon 】
Yeah, the power gamer one is siphon abilities plus whatever two give the best advantage with that. Though psychic might be enough to negate any other, plus would help figure out where to get the others.
Though it’s hard to meta game with just ability names. Like it could be god tier where teleportation works like you said and can be used on its own to find things or people, or it could be the kind where using it at all is risky because you might end up inside a wall.
Psychic could mean you can freely look into the future, past, and present (like knowing your opponent’s poker hand). It could mean you get a warning if you need to deal with danger. Either of those could make invulnerability unnecessary (along with very rich, intellect, physical fighting, and others). Or it could just be con artistry like psychics that sell their “abilities” in the world we live in.
Siphon abilities might be permanent, temporary, or might require contact with the ability owner to use the ability. Maybe you get a copy of the ability or the original owner loses their ability. Maybe it applies only to powers on the list or maybe to any skill/ability.
Magic and divine power are especially vague, could be anything from the most powerful on the list (maybe even including everything else on the list already) to what real life magicians and priests can do.
Insanely rich, Intellect, Invulnerable. You could totally change the world - you would be like Elon Musk with a brain. When the shitty oligarchs throw you out a window, you just bounce.
I think insanely rich is probably the worst thing on the list. How are you immortal and the smartest person alive and still broke? You should find ways to make a fortune easily oorr if you really want to change something you can use your power to actually improve the system in the long-term and not just profit yourself.
Attractive female, immortal, divine powers.
But, not any major religion. Just start making flowers bloom in the name of some minor goddess that has good rules. Go around healing people and giving out free food.
See what that does to the world when basically every main religion is “wrong”
The Wiccans I know are generally good folk, what chaos when healing crystals actually start working?
Attempt to not to go mad with power.
Doesn’t divine powers mean you can get anything on that list?
Its weird that not a lot of people decided to choose it.
I think it’s closer to Level 2 Priest compared to Yahweh.
But then how many abilities will end up crummy for balancing purposes? It’s like “pick a sword, bow, or gun to defend yourself”, but you don’t have the strength for a European longbow and your pirate-era flintlock has enough spread to hit the neighbor’s dog.
What if teleportation is 2 inches, or flight is 3 feet? What if invisibility means light goes straight through your corneas and you end up blind? What if immortal just means only your brain will survive??
Nevermind
I feel ‘Magic’ is able to cover a lot of these…
Anyway
Immortality, Insanely Rich, Magic.
I will then become a supervillainous evil wizard. Sorry-not-sorry.
Enjoy being 16 trillion years old and bored out of your mind, if you’re even still sane lol
Immortal, invulnerable, teleport. I’m sure the super rich I can acquire in a lifetime or two in 1 hour deliveries. Cargo ship from U.S. to Australia in an hour, got you. Rich people need organ transplants? Poof.
Military needs someone to take someone out? Poof. A few contracts and now your stacking bank accounts.
Need more rules, does magic cover teleportation?
I don’t see why not, but it would depend. Wizards can separate but need to know the location they are going too, so pick your own universe rules haha
Immortal, invulnerable, teleport
Accidentally teleport into deep space. Fuck
You’re invulnerable, just teleport again
its just self teleportation so you’ll have to do it by the arm load
There is no adjectives with teleport lol, could teleport objects without yourself as well using the given information.
Real world Santa Claus teleporting objects under everyone’s Christmas tree if you got rich enough. Prop up entire economies off by building presents for holidays on man made islands of renewable trees etc
exactly santa brings the sack, he figured it out.
Still pretty efficient if they also hit the gym and make their arms/back strong.
They carry a lot less than a vehicle, but the travel time is instant.
Attractive male, insanely rich, teleport.
I will no longer be single, I can vote in the US (only the rich get to vote with SuperPACs), I have a low carbon footprint
Anyone who is planning shenanigans and doesn’t take phasing or teleportation is asking for it. Sooner or later some government entity or another is going to try to put you in some kind of prison and you’d better have an escape card. Especially if you also take immortality. If you’re immortal and some asshole Cask of Amontillados you, you’re going to be pissed off about it forever.
And is “divine powers” just a free combo deal of magic, invisibility, and immortality?
If you take immortality, you also probably need to take healing. Being mortally wounded and unable to die sounds, uh, bad.
See. I thought “immortal” was “non-ageing” and impervious to cancer and Alzheimer’s, etc. I took Healing because I felt it close the injury loophole.
Of course teleport because life may not be too short but I’m still going to mars and I don’t have to learn the katana. #thereCanBeOnlyOne
