    I would say with ‘insanely rich,’ ‘intellect’ and ‘gadgets,’ you could pretty much achieve any of the rest you wanted on your own.

      Plus insanely rich is the best way to do things like have people adore you, avoid jail, etc., depending on where you live of course.

      Personally I would prefer heightened memory to intellect. But a way to not let the embarrassing moments affect my brain at all.

    Give me arbitrary code execution and privilege escalation in the simulation we live in and I’ll be satisfied.

      I’d like that too, but I don’t know how to program so it’d turn out to be a pretty cruel joke. I’d need that plus access to interdimensional internet so I could download scripts and be a scriptkiddy of reality.

    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 😅

    Attractive female, attractive male, invisibility

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

        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.

        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.

    • Shapeshifting: kinky (having sex as a boy or a girl, becoming any celebrity your partner 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

    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.
