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?
I'll take Divine Powers. I think the rest will then sort out by itself.
I'm trying to work out what that is. The ability to, uh, do everything on that list? If so, I will also take 3 scoops please.
Why doesn't "Divine Powers" include everything else? 🤷
"Divine Powers" means you can make anything Fabulous! with just a glance.
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.
Well, immortality and invulnerability are a definite to deal with some existential dread.
Then I suppose insanely rich because you're going to need a lot of money to make investments on a forever time scale.
I can give you some immortality-related existential dread if you want
Wikipedia's Timeline of the Far Future didn't make me comfortable with my own mortality so much as it made me even more afraid of immortality
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.
I feel like teleportation gets you an ability that makes money just fine. Hell, just invulnerability makes you valuable for cleaning up nuclear accidents like Chernobyl and Fukushima.
Easy: Attractive Female, Attractive Male and implants.
“What kind of implants?”
“Yes.”
All choices depend on the degree of the power. How much can you lift with telekinesis and how dexterous is? Is magic cantrips, level 9 spells, or something even more arcane? To what level are the speed and strength "super"? Are you a "Captain America" super human or Superman?
Thankfully, my constant favorites are pretty definite: invulnerability and immortality.
What even is "psychic" and how is meaningfully different from "telekinesis" and "telepathy"? Is it bundling all the other -kineses? Yeah, I'm giving it too much thought but personally I don't like discussions based entirely on everyone not having enough information.
Super hearing, super sight, sub-mariner.
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.
What exactly are divine powers? Are you basically the blue dude from Watchmen?
This is so imbalanced and vague.
People used to go full on Rainman designing these CYOAs.
If I'm a plural system do we get to pick 3 for each of us? :)
If it's one set for everyone, I'm going with Shapeshifting, Healing, and the third kind of depends on how this stuff works.
Shapeshifting I'd take even if I was only allowed one power. I'd finally have a body that fits. Several of them, in fact. Some might even be human. We could swap between us physically, and turning into stuff for a while just sounds fun.
Healing because if I don't pick it I'm eventually going to regret it. Shapeshifting might already let me fix any damage that isn't incapacitating or instantly lethal, but that only applies to my own body. I'd want to be able to help others, too.
For the third power... Magic could mean a lot of things, including many on this list. Maybe it's a "jack of all trades, master of none" kind of deal, which I'd be fine with. A bunch of spells that cover a wide range of situations but aren't as strong as specializing in a single power.
Teleport is really appealing. Lots I can do with it if I can take people or things with me, or set up something long-range that doesn't require line of sight. If it also allows me to create permanent portals then we're really going to have fun.
Or I could take Invulnerability to remove that "incapacitating or instantly lethal" weakness and really lean into being some kind of unstoppable healer. Divine Powers? Depending on what that does, it could replace Healing while also giving a bunch of other benefits. Hell, if it lets me resurrect people too, and I also take Invulnerability, then I'm basically an emergency respawn point for the entire community.
teleport, size manipulation, super smell. i am constantly teleporting into the rectums of famous actresses and experiencing ego death as their farts wash over me and erase all other sensations. i don't even remember my name or how long I've been doing this for. all i know is my mission. i am the fartshifter
Attractive female, insanely rich, and teleport. I'll have a gf, have money to finance my 1000 hobbies and help others, and never have to stand an hour in a crowded bus trying to hold in a fart again.
Immortal, invulnerable, teleport. I can be where I want to be, when I want to be, until the end of time.
Supersight Weapons master Super strength or super speed
