    I’m the most beautiful creature on earth, and only I decide who gets the privilege of knowing it

    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.

    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.

    Immortality, Insanely Rich, Magic.

      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.

          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

          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.

    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

      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

    Vampirism, Divine Powers and Magic. These three pretty much give you every other power on this list. You are essentially God and need only keep the human race alive so you can feed off their blood.

    Immortal, invulnerable, teleportation

    Now I can do whatever I want without having to worry about consequences.

    I picked teleportation because I’d hate for example if somehow someone launched me into a sun or black hole and there was nothing I could do forever.

    Being immortal an invulnerable I assume I’d be able to get rich very easily.

    I also assume the following:

    • immortal mean that you don’t die of old age or sickness
    • invulnerable still ages (counter with immortal)
    • divine is not godlike but jesuslike. Can perform miracles or even come back to life but has limited power. Not immortal, not invulnerable

    I feel like immortality is always a monkey’s paw.
    Can we replace it with like… Negligible Senescence?

    Assuming it’s not a monkey’s paw (since invulnerability is also there) then:
    Immortality, teleportation (to escape capture), intellect.

    Also wtf is Devine Power?

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

      It’s inevitable, it might be 10 years from now you’ll get stuck under a mudslide and buried forever, but conscious.

      In a billion years, you’ll get stuck inside the expanding sun forever.

      In a few trillion years you’ll get stuck floating in the void of space forever as the universe expanded into nothingness.

      Immortality needs some sort of way out, or else you’ll eventually end up suffering forever (what’s a trillion years to someone who will live for eternity?)

        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” 😑

        Immortality+invulnarability has to break physics somehow. Use that loophole to extract energy and build an entire civilization around yourself.

        Be the immortal sun god of the endtimes.

        Will probably be fun for a few trillion years.

        Teleportation is also one of the options, so that solves the getting stuck somewhere problem. My concern is what immortality is like without also getting invulnerability…

          Sure, but that just pushes back the timeline some. Even with immortality, invulnerability, and teleportation, you’re still going to live forever floating in the void of space. There just isn’t going to be anywhere to teleport TO after a few trillion years.
