Pick 3

[email protected]

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

Me when I picked immortal but my opponent spawned a tsunami that sent me to the kabillion PSI ocean floor (I am doomed)

wtf is this list, these are absolutely not equal powers. Magic alone accounts for 80% of this list.

If invulnerability means not being subjected to all the forces eventually pulling apart and decaying all matter, I'm still on board. I'll roll the dice that things eventually find a way to come back around, whatever that means.

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.

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.

Super hearing, super sight, sub-mariner.

You'll have a nice, long life followed by countless aeons witnessing the slow heat death of the universe

When the time comes, I'll teleport inside a black hole where I will be frozen in time , thus rendering me essentially dead

Immortality is fine, until you end up stuck somewhere forever.

This is the literally why I called it a monkey's paw, and suggested negligible Senescence instead.
It's also why I selected teleportation.

It's like you didn't read any of my comment except the word "immortality"

From this chart, being attractive, smart, or rich are abilities, even gadgets is listed. Logically it doesn't make sense, but following the rules laid out, those are probably up for grabs.

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.

It would be kind of hilarious if all of these were actually fully achievable in real life.

Magic is just close up street magic, if you select divine powers, someone offers you a job at the local cathedral. Radar sense, a box from amazon with some radar parts literally shows up on your doorstep.

good luck bitch im in madame web's anus

Wouldn't "chameleon" be enough for that? Or "shape shifter"?

Shapeshifting: kinky (having sex as a boy or a girl, becoming any celebrity your significant other likes..), recreationnal (flying like a crow, swimming as an octopus) and useful if you want to do crimes
Telepathy: perfect understanding of the others, or mess with their brain if they deserve it
Also, this is the perfect combo with shapeshifting to impersonate people (if someone is suspicious, you have the perfect answers to their questions)
Healing, because I know the feeling of being powerless when a loved one suffers

Maven (famous)

That would mean you could turn into an attractive form but you wouldn't be inherently attractive in your own.

Just need Magic and you can do all of the other things

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.
