Attractive female, attractive male, invisibility

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

[–] KomfortablesKissen@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 44 minutes ago (1 children)

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

[–] Maven@lemmy.zip 1 points 35 minutes ago

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

[–] djsoren19@yiffit.net 5 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago) (1 children)

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.

[–] Obi@sopuli.xyz 2 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

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.

[–] djsoren19@yiffit.net 3 points 2 hours ago

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.

[–] lemmy_outta_here@lemmy.world 3 points 3 hours ago

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.

[–] fool@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago) (1 children)

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

[–] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

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.

Super hearing, super sight, sub-mariner.

[–] Evrala@lemmy.world 4 points 4 hours ago

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.

[–] Matshiro@szmer.info 3 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Doesn't divine powers mean you can get anything on that list?

Its weird that not a lot of people decided to choose it.

[–] fool@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 3 hours ago

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

[–] Hiatus@lemmy.world 2 points 4 hours ago

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.

[–] brlemworld@lemmy.world 5 points 6 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago)

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

[–] kaprap@leminal.space 1 points 4 hours ago

Supersight Weapons master Super strength or super speed

Submariner necromancy size manipulation. Hoards of tiny zombie whales and giant zombie plankton.

[–] dual_sport_dork@lemmy.world 10 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

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?

[–] kogasa@programming.dev 4 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

If you take immortality, you also probably need to take healing. Being mortally wounded and unable to die sounds, uh, bad.

[–] corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 1 points 6 hours ago

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

[–] VinesNFluff@pawb.social 15 points 10 hours ago* (last edited 10 hours ago) (9 children)

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.

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
[–] itslilith@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] notarobot@lemm.ee 1 points 2 hours ago

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

[–] HowManyNimons@lemmy.world 1 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Magic. Two others at random.

[–] Noodle07@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours ago

Magic, 3 times

[–] Nounka@lemmy.world 1 points 6 hours ago

Being a necromancing immortal weathercontroller sounds fun...

[–] Awkward_Silence712@lemmy.world 1 points 6 hours ago

Shape shifting, teleportation, and insanely rich

[–] dovahking@lemmy.world 3 points 8 hours ago

Most of the powers are achievable with just intellect and magic. The third power to choose is immortality because most of the sci fi or magical immortality has a catch.

[–] ZombiFrancis@sh.itjust.works 3 points 8 hours ago

Feral. Radioactive. Submariner.
