Saber Forum

So, this thread is inspired by the "Good @ it" and "If you could have one force power?" threads.  It's a little game that I play with some of my friends on occasion, and goes something like this.

First person posts a superpower, and a weakness to counter it.  The idea is to get powers/weaknesses that are really balanced, so people have a hard time saying whether they take it or leave it.  Here's how it looks:


And then the next person would post something like this:


So, if anyone's game, I'll start.

You have the Force.  However, if you ever use it in public, you will be hunted down and killed within two weeks.

Take it!

You can fly, however, you can only do so for 5 min., if you go over, you die.

Take it!

I'll re-use one of the example ones.

You can build all sorts of high-tech stuff.  However, you can't keep or use any of it.

Really awesome idea :) Point! This thread is going to be amazing  :D

Won't take it!

You can read people's minds and search deep into their pasts, but if you try and do it for more than a minute, your head will explode. You can, however, go back and read the person's mind again after a 5 minute waiting period  ;D

Leave it.  Heads exploding isn't fun.

You have enhanced physical abilities (strength, hearing, reflexes, etc.), but have to eat a LOT extra food to keep your metabolism up.  If you eat at a normal rate, your powers atrophy back to normal.

TAKE IT! I already eat like a lion anyway, so it's all profit for me ;D

You have the ability to instantly teleport yourself to any location in the world by visualizing it in your head. However, only your body will make the travel, so any objects/clothes you have on will be left behind or be destroyed.

leave it, I have had those kinda dreams, no fun.

You can have xray vision, but if you do it more than 5 seconds, you will go blind.

Take it!

Whohoo! I can see through anything!

You have a genie that gants wishes.  However he grants EXACLTY what you say...

Leave it. I'd end up wording something wrong eventually, and get royally screwed.

You can travel back in time, however if you stay for more than an hour, it becomes permanent(you can't go back to your own time).

Take it.  I'd just have to be VERY careful about my time.  I'd be the world's most awesome historian.

You can breathe underwater.  However, you can ONLY breathe underwater.

leave it. I hate swimming.  :P

You can turn invisible for 5 mins, but if you make any fast sudden movements like coughing or if some thing physically touches you like a rain drop then your are no longer invisible.

Take it. It would still be useful.

You have super speed, however it must remain active for AT LEAST 15 minutes before you stop or slow down.

Take it. Cleaning the house would be a breeze!  :D

You have the power of taste! anything you eat even if its absolute garbage will taste delicious, but you won't get any special nutritional bonuses only your taste buds are enhanced. Also it can only be used once per day.

Meh... Leave it.  It'd be useful if there's a bad cook in the family, but it would also prevent you from knowing instantly when something you just bit into is spoiled or harmful.

You can ignite yourself and have pyrokinesis.  However, if the temperature around you drops below 100*, you lose your power permanently.

Take it, that would be useful in Afghanistan.

You have complete control over lightning, however you can't use any electronics ever again because you'll fry them instantly.

Leave it. I'd miss you guys too much. ;D

You can transform into any animal you touch, but if you don't change back within 2 hours, you're stuck like that. (Point if you know where I got that from.)

Animorphs.  And I'd take it.

You know instinctively how to use/counter any weapon you encounter.  However, for every weapon you learn how to use, you forget one other skill.

Point Kaiden, as promised.

Leave it. I can't afford to forget any more! :D

Your skin is rock hard and impervious to anything, however you lose feeling in it.

Leave it, I already can't feel enough.

You can stop time, but if you stop time for too long (oxymoron right?) we'll say an hour. You'll get stuck in a groundhog day like loop.

Take it. Fun Fact, theorist think that he was stuck in that loop for a thousand or so years.

You breath fire when ever you want, but you will have no tongue.

What the-

Leave it.

You can use the Force for one whole hour, but if you kill anyone in that time, or go over an hour, Yoda will magically appear and kill you.

Take it.

Simple, yet effective one:

You have the Force, along with all known abilities and a lightsaber.  However, you have (and always will have) a mortal enemy who can match you blow for blow.

And to clarify if it wasn't known, these are assumed to take place in the real world, and you're the only person to get these abilities (unless otherwise stated).

Take it.
Just watched an episode of Samurai Champloo where one of the protagonists had an opponent he simply could not beat. So he had take a fatal blow in order to get a chance/opening. (he survived in the series, but of course no one survives a lightsaber stab to the chest). I believe I could do it through self-sacrifice if I necessarily had to. That and I can certainly live with not being the best.


At a young age, you were informed that you had the ability to become ethereal (walk through walls, not have a physical form/barrier) when your mind became overwhelmed. But it is a one time use, you cannot undo it once it has been done.

Hey, I still get to use it...take it

You can kill people without any problems or trouble, however you will go to Hell when you die...

Leave it.

You are immortal, but not eternally young - your aging is 100 times slower than normal, but you will eventually become old. Immortality also comes with the usual problems - your perception of time speeds up so that eventually everything is a blur, you'll probably get a permanent injury/ailment at some point that you'll have to deal with for the rest of infinity, etcetera. But.... you're freakin' immortal!

Leave it.

You can run at super fast speeds, but you have the same reflexes as you do now.

Leave it. I don't want an obstacle stopping me and turning me into chunky salsa because I'm too slow to move out of the way.

You gain Cyber Mind (http://powerlisting.wikia.com/wiki/Cyber_Mind), but you can no longer relate to anyone in any way, and have no qualities that make you human.

Leave it.

You are given command of a Galaxy-Class starship, but you then have to battle a Borg cube.

Leave it.

You are given command of a Super Star Destroyer and seventeen ISD (with a full compliment of fighters, equipment, and troopers), but you have to destroy the Tyranids as a race.

take it, but give me some of their artwork to study first

you are the archive, the repository of all human knowledge from the beginning of time, everything written you see, everything said you hear, you know for a fact you will go absolutely batty without a doubt by the time you turn 30

take it or leave it?

Leave it.

You can turn invisible, for as long as your stamina will allow(you can train it just like anything else, but it takes energy to hold it), but only your body can be invisible. You can't make any other objects invisible, including clothing, so you have to be naked.

Leave it.

You have an object that allows you to store your strength/energy in it for later use.  However, it only works at a 3-1 ratio, meaning you have to put in three times as much energy as you want to take out.

Assuming that my energy in my body still replenishes after I put some in the container, take it, if not, then leave it...

You have the force, but you are blind, and deaf.

Leave it.

You get the ability to sense the emotional state of other people, but you cannot shut it off.

Take it.

You can build real lightsabers.  However, the lightsabers have no safety features at all, and are as dangerous to the wielder as they are to the target.

Are you kidding?! So taking that!

You can read peoples' thoughts, but it opens a two way channel so your own thoughts will broadcast to them the entire time.

Leave it.

You have unlimited power to do what ever you want with it. But as a result you can't bare to be near people when using it I.E. "Superman to kryptonite" and it begins to cripple you. I.E. more you use, the faster it cripples.

Leave it.

You are given the power to become the first mythological creature you think of. Your first thought is Slenderman.

Take it!

You can use any one else abilities, but only at the price of becoming deathly ill afterwards.

Take it, YOLO! ... nevermind, that hurt to type... Not really a fan of 1-and-done kinda deals.

You can't die, but any pain you feel is tripled.

Take it...I'm tough...lol

You have impecable shooting skills but when you aren't shooting you have uncontrollable shakes...

Leave it.  I don't need to shoot anything.

You have Cryokinesis, but anything warmer than 0* Celsius burns you...

Leave it, I hate the cold.

You instantly absorb everything you hear/read, however you can never teach the knowledge to anyone else, or make a difference (i.e. cure cancer).

Take it. It only says that I can't teach the knowledge or make a difference, but it doesn't say anything about leading others to that conclusion...

You are now a were creature... unfortunately, it's a were-slug.

Leave it.  I have no use to be a slug.

You can transform into any one creature you desire.  However, on both the full and new moons, you turn into that creature involuntarily.

Take it!

You have superspeed. However, your metabolism is so amped up that you will age rapidly... as in 5 years for every month you have it.

Take it, I look twelve anyway.

You can jump really high and far, though if you land wrong, you will shatter you whole legs, no matter how high you jumped.

Leave it. I've had enough knee problems for one lifetime.

You can see through anyone's clothes...The problem? You see through EVERYONE'S clothes.

Take it. I don't have to look if I don't want to.

You can teleport anywhere, but you lose the ability to walk.

Leave it.

You have the ability to grant anyone use of the Force, but can never use the Force yourself.

Leave it.

You can make your own wishes come true, but when you do, someone gets hurt. The more satisfying/personal the wish is, the closer to you the person is that gets hurt.

Leave it.

You can alter your perception of time, but if you do so for longer then 10 minutes (standard) you become stuck in that perception.

Take it, assuming that when you say standard you mean 10 of your minutes and not 10 observed minutes

Your life becomes like James Bond, but you look like Sean Connery (as he is today)

10 minutes for everyone else

dang... eh, slowmo is still pretty cool

Leave it.

You have the ability to enter the world of any fictional movie or book you read/see.  However, you can't bring anything back with you, and if you spend more than 1 week (relative to yourself) in a story, you can't come back.

Take it.

You can make anything happen that you want, but whenever you do part of your body begins to slowly deteriorate.

Uhh... Take it.

You have the ability to heal anyone of anything short of death.  However, for every time you heal someone you age one year, and cannot heal yourself.

Take it, I guess.

You have the ability play any musical instrument better than anyone else who ever lived. But you have to play for Justin Bieber for one year.

Take it, I'd rub it in his face the whole time.

You can never die, period.  If you get trapped in a tunnel collapse you just live there... forever.  If you get some sort of degenerative disease, you live with it... forever.  Plus, your memory will keep erasing itself to keep up with the centuries of info.  Decades will pass by like seconds.  You'll probably be tested by the government.

(http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii25/LordDragonspyre/Smilies/majorreaction.gif)

LEAVE IT!!!

You become a Super Soldier (like Captain America), but you must undergo monthly treatments that include excruciating injections in your eyes, nose, ears, tongue, spine, brain, muscles, bones and under each fingernail and toenail, or you'll die slowly and painfully as your body liquefies itself.

Leave it.

You can enter any universe that you desire, whether it be from your mind or the minds of others. You cannot bring anyone or anything with you and you must stay in that universe forever.

Take it. I go to the universe where I am rich, powerful, universally beloved and respected, and I stay there.

You gain Absolute Immortality (http://powerlisting.wikia.com/wiki/Absolute_Immortality), but your IQ will be changed to 80.

leave it

You can go super sayian and fly, but it takes five hours of absolute concentration and perfect stillness to do.

Leave it. Five hours is WAY too much for me.

You become a great a powerful warlord with hundreds of thousands of men at your disposal but you will be killed in 10 years by your own child.

Ouch.  Harsh one.  I'll leave it alone.

You have the Force, and can use any known powers and abilities.  However, you have little control over the amount you use when you tap into the Force.  IE, when using Force lightning, you could either cast a little spark or an electrical storm instead of the zap you wanted.

Leave it. I wouldn't want to deal with the Chaos.

You can be anything, or anyone you want to be. You also have to live in the MLP universe and whatever you are, it's the pony version.

Leave it.

You can teleport, but the teleportation involves burning yourself to ashes where you depart and growing from a single cell to your current form (with all the requisite pain of that growth... think of it like a mega growth spurt) in two seconds. Also, you remember the pain of each teleport you do.

Hmmm.... Ah, take it.  It's only about 5 seconds of pain.

You can become invisible, along with what you're carrying.  However,  do so, you have to eat 1lb of cockroaches every week.

ARE YOU KIDDING JEV! I'd take that in a heartbeat!


Ugh :P :-X LEAVE IT

Rogue, you forgot to post a new power...  >:(

You have the ability to fly, however, you cannot carry more than 5 pounds when you fly.

depends on the specifics.

You can get rid of MLP: FIM but you have to spend the rest of your life with Justin Beiber

LEAVE IT??? ARE YOU INSANE?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

You can get rid of Nekesus, but you will be happy forever.  :P

You can have a real lightsaber, but you must cut off a limb first.

Take it totally... ;D


Take it, then I get a mechanical one...

You can kill anyone, anytime, anywhere, but every time you do, the chance increased that it backfires on you.

Umm... take it, I guess.  I don't have a lot of people I need to kill, so I won't be taking much loss.

Also; this is assumed to be in modern times.  Mechanical hands aren't very advanced, let alone cheap.

You have up to 100 helmets/masks, each one granting you a different power when worn.
 (http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_jLjmfRoaZMs/SpdrVbw3J5I/AAAAAAAAASg/7XCT-QfDIok/s400/090827-bionicle-gold-004.jpg)  
However, if you go more than 1 minute without a mask on, you die.

Take it. Bionicle was beautiful.

You are the most intelligent man in the Universe. You know legitimately everything. You can never be loved or have love from anyone.

Leave it.

You have heightened reflexes, strength, and senses.  However, you have to eat cat food.

Take it. Friskies can't taste that bad..... Can it?

You have super strength, and are indestructible. But only when you're drunk.

Leave it. I'd end up doing something stupid with the power.

You become an Assassin. You take on there ways, you follow their laws, and you do your duties. You have all the abilities and equipment necessary to become the best Assassin to ever exist.
(http://www.cbswords.com/images/acreed.jpg)
You lose the ability to swim. If you fall into water without a life-vest or someone to save you, you WILL drown.

I can't swim anyway, so Take It.

You have the ability to communicate with any sentient animal in the universe. However, you can no longer speak, you can only communicate through telepathy.

Take it...telepathy is basically talking without moving your lips...

You are the most beautiful/handsome person in the world, however everyone of the same sex as you is trying to kill you...

Leave it. Not worth it.

You become the best at any single sport of your choosing. (You can define what is or isn't a sport)

However, you have to live with Justin Beiber for 5 years.

Take it...Justin won't survive 5 years of me... ;)

You are a psychic, but so is everyone else...

Take it.  It'll make conversations much more interesting.  It'll get old soon though, if everyone has it.

You invent a ship that will terraform asteroids into a second Earth in a nearby orbit to our own.  However, the wealthy elite are trying to steal the plans from you so that they can have the new planet to themselves.

Take it... that sounds like good fun

You have access to 100% of your brain power, but you forget immediate interactions every ten seconds.... like ten second Tom.

No. Leave it.

You develop extremely heightened senses (a la Rachel on Alphas), but they're on ALL THE TIME and you cannot shut it down.

Umm... sure, I'll take it.  Learn to cope.

You have TK and Pyrokinesis.  Unfortunately, it comes with a side of Multiple Personality Disorder, and the other person in your head is very, very evil.

Wow, this thread got weird.... anyhow....

Take it. Seems fun.

You are omnipotent but you have two opposite personalities - all the good in you is magnified and personified in one and all your evil is magnified and personified in the other. You switch between personalities uncontrollably and at random.

This sort of contradicts itself, but ignore that ;)

Leave it, it makes no sense anyway :P

You can control all 4 elements, but you have to spend 100 years trapped in a glacier (very uncreative right now) ;D

leave it

You can have a unlimited stack of cash, but you will be forever depressed.

Leave it. Apologies if it has already been done, but I'm hitting you with the Professor X... you have telepathic powers, but you're stuck in the chair.

Leave it.

You can become one character from any universe you desire. The change can last as long as you wish, however, the longer you stay in that form the more you yourself begin to fade. Essentially you will develop Alzheimers as your normal self and be forced to live in that body forever if you wish to contain any conciousness at all in the end.

Mmmm... Take it.  I'd just go and live as characters for a day and then change back.

You have the ability to cast illusions, but when you do, you become blind for twice the duration of the illusion created.

Take it. I'd just cast an infinite Illusion until I die. After that, it won't really matter.

You gain access to every item on earth in it's most complete form 1 year before it is released, however, once it's released to the rest of the world, you can never use it again.

Leave it.

You are able to get every Star Wars costume, exactly to the standards you want, overnight.  In exchange however you will never be able to watch one of the Movies again.  Take it or leave it?

TAKE IT!!!  I prefer the books to the movies anyways.  And I'm sure there are ways to get around it, kinda.

You can make any costume you want, as detailed as you want, completely lifelike, etc. using only duct tape.  However, duct tape costs 4x as much.

Take it...I got money...

You get a million dollars, however, the government takes 100k a year for 10 years...

In the end you get nothing, but debt, so leave it.

You get ALL of Superman's powers, however you are forced to sustain yourself on a diet of broccoli, tofu, Brussels sprouts, and turnips. And Kriptonite still kills you.

Leave it.

You can get awesome tickets to see your favorite team play their arch-rival, but you have to wear their jersey instead of your own team's colors to get the tickets.

Take it.

You can combine any two objects in the universe; ex: Massage Chair and Minigun.
But when combined, both things work at 50% efficiency.

Take it.  I'd be ok with my Computer Watch going through batteries twice as fast.

You can use Alchemy (Fullmetal Alchemist style) to create/repair objects from raw materials.  However, you need to start with 50% more raw materials than required to build it without alchemy.

Well, I'd take it.  Double post to revive the thread.

You can time travel, but you can only go forward, except to come back to your starting point.

Leave it. Eventually you'd over run your present and suffer from entropic cascade failure (http://stargate.wikia.com/wiki/Entropic_cascade_failure (http://stargate.wikia.com/wiki/Entropic_cascade_failure)). No thanks!

You can do whatever you want; whatever you can possibly think of or dream. You can only do it once, and if you even attempt to do it again, you will end up in traction for 10 years.

I can do any one thing I want?  Yes.  Take it.

You have electrokinesis.  However, you cannot get wet, or the electricity backfires on you.

Leave it. Electrokinesis is nifty and all, but it's too easy to get wet as a human being. Showers, rain, prankster kids, sweating...

You become Pinhead, but the person you love most opened The Lament Configuration.

Leave it. That would be horrible  :(

By the way, how come everyone stopped participating in this thread?  :'(

You have the ability to kill by simply uttering the word, "kill". However, if you do kill someone with this method, it will use up your energy and you can never gain it back. Keep killing and eventually you will die yourself.

Hmmm leave it...a bit too Steven King for me.


You have the power to know anyone' most inner thoughts just by touching them or making eye contact...the downside is that it can never be turned off and you can never forget the imprinted memories.

Eww no. Definitely leave.

By the way, shouldn't  this be in Forum Games?

Ultra didn't notice this because it was back in page two or three, haha.

You can become invisible for a total of ten minutes, however, if you exceed the time limit, you will remain invisible for the rest of your life. If you go out of being invisible before the time runs out, you have to wait five hours before going invisible again. To let you know that time is running out, you will feel a slight throbbing in the back of your head. You will also feel a throbbing when the five hour waiting period is up.

I put way too much thought into that.

I feel a slight throbbing in the back of my head... oh no, better become visible again :D

Leave it.

You can turn invisible, but you get a headache whenever you do.

Aw, it was so convenient and well thought out though :(

Leave it. That would suck.

You can breath fire, but whenever you breath fire, your clothes will burn off.

I am naked as often as possible, so that is no threat for me lol...Take it


Your touch causes random temporary (1day) super powers (energy projection, super strength, flight, invulnerability, super speed) or in others but not yourself   ::)

Take it. Imagine the kids you could empower for a day. =)

The ability to mind heal, ease depressing memories in other people, but you yourself suffer from severe depression.

Oh boy... empowering kids would lead to absolute devastation. Bad idea.

Leave it. I wouldn't like that, unless it applied only to my family and friends.

You can control one person's mind for an hour, but if you control them for more than an hour, you will be stuck in their minds forever, and will have to live the rest of your life in their body, while yours just falls down and lays there for all eternity.

Leave it. I don't find controlling people to be very appealing.

Stop time for an hour per day, no matter what, and you age during that time as well.

Agreed, empowering kids would be a terrible idea...hell empowering most adults would be a terrible idea for that matter!

Take it.


You gain the ability for your consciousness to jump from person to person and even into mammals...but the power allows one way transfer only, you can never go back to a body you have previously jumped into

Ouch... umm... Leave it. If it were all animals, not just mammals, maybe.

Telekinesis/telepathy/fire starting powers/spells and junk but you get bad headaches and nose bleeds every time you work the magic.

Sure why not?


You have a power focused in the palms/fingers of your hands to turn anything your touch to glass...you can never turn it off.

Leave it. I'd be too worried about touching a person. =/

Shapeshift once per day for a minimum of 1 hour (you have to every day or you explode).

Take it.


You can live forever and never age...but you must drink fresh human blood, 16oz a day minimum or start aging one day per minute of delay...the youth lost does not come back when you feed next.

Leave it. In the same vein though (so to speak)

You are immortal and can only ever die by having your head leave your neck. BUT, there are others like you, always hunting you. There can be only one ;)

Take it...because I am the one...I have always been the one...



You will live forever, be young, and barring any accidents look great...but you lose all sense of touch, permanently.

oooch. I'd rather just keep my normal lifespan. Hiding that quantity of blood drinking would be difficult unless you were like, a musician and always touring or something.

You are the most intelligent person on Earth with an IQ that is unmeasurable by standard testing...but you can not relate to people at all, looking at most all adults as most adults consider the intelligence of a trained dog.

Nyehhhh..... take it. I'm kinda a terrible person already.

Be ridiculously smart (Like the IQ one), but be always telling REALLY BAD science jokes. To everyone...

Well, I already tell really bad jokes to everyone, so take it.

You get to live in the biggest, nicest house known to man, your dream house. However it's haunted by a ghost who's out for blood, and you have to fight him off everyday.

Hmmm... Take it. It would make my life interesting.

Have the ability to call spirits, but you run the risk of being possessed by one every time you do.

Leave it.

You can live in a house with one of your favorite musician's, and be awesome roommates, but he/she turns into a werewolf every night at midnight for an hour.

Sweet!  I also am a werewolf!



You have the ability to calm weather, so where ever you go it is temperate, clear skies, and comfortable...1000mi radius...downside is that all in-climate weather systems, hi/lo fronts, heat/cold, storms, hurricanes, tornadoes, etc,  are diverted in a chaotic manner away from your ring of influence.

Ouch. Leave it. I like the rain, anyhow. That power would wreck havoc on the environment. =/

The ability to draw like a boss, except you have uber dyslexia and cannot read, like, anything.

Hmmm a great artist but can not read...I will take it!


You can read, write, and speak any language that you study for just 7 days...but you can not understand the concept of numbers, math is an impossibility, money and its value is completely alien to you.

Take it. I don't like money anyway. Languages are much cooler.

You can cook just about anything, make up epic recipes and such, but you're hyper sensitive to heat. Like, you touch something over 130* F and you get really bad burns. Same with cold. You get frost bitten from an ice cube.

Leave it...as a chef that would blow chunks.


You can shapechange into any living creature that you have touched, except human, once you change once you can never go back to human...you have your intelligence and memories.

Meh, leave it.  I haven't touched any of the really cool creatures of the world, and I'd miss my lightsabers too much.

You can look into peoples minds and see all their deep secrets, beliefs, and thoughts.  You will know everything about the person.  However, when you touch their mind, they can see yours in the same way.

Leave it.


Anything you can imagine becomes and remains real...even from your dreams.

Is that like, involuntary? Like everything you imagine comes real no matter what? If so, leave it. But if it's only the stuff that I want to come real, then TAKE IT. You have no idea...

Be able to hack anything on any computer anywhere, but be unable to touch books.

ANYTHING imagined becomes real.

Some of these ideas...make sense they do not...why could I not touch books?

 :-\

I guess the hack thing...with the billions and billions I would have I could just hire a beautiful girl with a voice like silk to read to me  lol


When you sleep or are unconscious you travel back in time, completely at random and do not wake up in our current time until you fall asleep/get knocked out in the past...if you die or get injured in the past you die or get injured in the present.

... Take it. I'd be very interested in what I could learn, so long as my body and mind get rest at some point.

The power to go back in time at your whim, but the butterfly effect is very, very real.

Take it...I would be The Timelord!  :)


Creating pocket universes within the multiverse due to my actions.



You are an succubus or incubus living forever on a diet of human life force via romantic activity...at least one life drain completely per month or 1000 partial drainings per month.

Meh.  Leave it.  My morals would have me suicidal after a week.

You have the Force.  However, to access it, you must fast and meditate for a week each month.

Take it. I could deal with that.

You can go into periods of liberation for years and years, without injury or issue, but you have no knowledge of what happens between. You can choose when you want to hibernate.

Leave it.



You have vast psionic powers...TK, telepathy, etc...during any moments of stress, jealousy, or anger you lose control and can cause scanner affects.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YI3NoBeNwfk#ws (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YI3NoBeNwfk#ws)

Take it.

Remember absolutely everything, but suffer from migraines and headaches.

Take it.

Your mind can interface with computers, download information, hack and program with just a thought, etc.  However, you must be unconscious for one hour per gigabyte you process via this power.

Yeah, that's a pretty good description of me :P


Take it!

You have the ability to see in complete darkness, but prolonged exposure to sunlight causes phototoxicity (basically, a sort of extreme sunburn caused by a photoactive chemical in or on the skin).

Leave it. The human brain has somewhere around 3 million terabytes of RAM anyway...

Never gain or lose weight from a perfect weight/bmi but have bad cholesterol.

xD luners

Leave it...I have a flash light.



Take it...and then take cholesterol meds.



Your touch can heal any injury and cure any disease, the worse the damage the longer the touch required...a broken arm takes 1min and malignant brain cancer takes 1hr, but you lose an hour of your natural life for every minute of healing time expended.

Take it. I don't care if I lose my life for friends that are hurt.

Heal yourself REALLY quickly and you don't usually die from mortal wounds, but your life expectancy is cut in half. Too much stress on organs and such.

Wouldn't it be the same either way? Well, I suppose not, unless it was extremely bad. Leave it!

Every time you open your mouth to speak, you feel compelled to insult everyone in front of you, and so you do. However, your words will activate magic that will cure the wounds, mental and physical, of everyone you insult.

Erm... take it, I guess.  I'd be a great doctor, and I'm not so good at insults, so I'd just be calling people grade-school names like butthead.

You have super speed, and reflexes to match.  However, you are very weak.  (can't lift more than 10lbs)

Leave it. I like being able to lift things...

Be able to shape metal with your bare hands, no matter how strong or thick, but you have to live off protein shakes. No relation between the two lol

Um, leave it?

You can remember everything and never forget anything- even the bad.

I do that already, lol. I'll take it. It'll make studying a breeze.

You become the world's most brilliant mathematician over night and will go on to work for the government and foil many devious attacks. However, you will be so addicted to math that, in your free time, you will always be solving math equations. You will also see them in your dreams.

Leave it. I like my dreams.

Can drink as much alcohol as you like and you will never die of poisoning and you won't become intoxicated, but you have the same hangover in the morning.

Leave it.  Don't like the stuff anyway.

You will never again lose/hurt your voice, no matter how much you sing metal or shout or smoke.  However, you have to drink only water from now on.

Leave it. I don't forsee ruining my voice. And I couldn't live without tea.

Always know when someone is lying to you.

Take it.


You name off five things that bug you in conversation with a stranger on a bus...and then he reveals that he is a genie and that these things no longer exist...you can not remember exactly what you said but you do recall...tobacco, fleas, mosquitoes, and cancer...what was that 5th thing?

Uh... leave it, I guess.  That 5th thing could be something very dangerous to the ecosystem.

You have wings, but you have to sacrifice both of your pinkies and both pinkie toes to gain them.

Take it without a thought   ;D


You can teleport to any place in the universe at the speed of light (299,792,458 meters per second/186,282 miles per sec), you can only teleport yourself plus 51 lbs...each time you teleport there is a 10% to be randomly teleported to a previous location.

leave it. teleportation seems iffy to me.

you can pick up any instrument and learn to play it very well, very quickly, but you could never gain money from it.

I'm assuming you meant gain money from performing. However, if a slot that hands out free cash could open up in the instrument, that would be nice too ;)

I'll take it, in any case. Music is more important to me than having tons of money, and either way, musicians don't get paid a whole lot anyway, so the point is moot. Besides, I always wanted to learn the violin, the piano, the cello, the... yeah, you get the idea.

You can play the most beautiful music ever but people that hear the music will age a lot quicker.

Sounds like a super villain or a cult leader...take it moomomohahhahhahhahahhaaaaaa



You have an amazing gift and unceasing drive for writing...your stories are so moving that everyone reacts to the characters as if they were alive and are somehow in their lives to the point of being completely in love, hating, despairing, etc. as the characters are dealt with within the stories.

Take it.  I would love to be that good.

You are the best writer in history to date.  However, no publisher will ever take your books, so there will be few copies of them.

I could publish them myself ;D Wouldn't be as good, but whatever. Take it.

Every time you kill an insect, a random person dies somewhere in the world.

That would suck so much- leave it.

You can heal peole, but you have to draw from other's life force to do it.

Couldn't they still be healed? Unless it was very severe drainage. If what you meant was that you could drain their life and reduce their life expectancy or something, then that would just be a trade off between one person and another. I could heal loved ones, but those random people might be in more dire situations and I wouldn't even know it. Either way, I'll leave it.

A million bucks in the form of $100 bills packed into a suitcase will drop from the sky and land next to your feet. This will happen once each day, even if you are inside (it'll phase through the wall). Once you get the suitcase, you will have to figure out the right code for the lock. If you figure it out correctly, then the money is yours. If you don't, the suitcase will disappear and go to your mortal enemy instead. You will still receive the suitcases on schedule every day after that.

Take it.

You are offered a 9-to-5 six days a week job that you will absolutely loathe.  However, the pay is so good that you will have essentially limitless funds after your first paycheck.

take it.

the ability to master any one single weapon, but you will lose 10% of your overall IQ.

Leave it...I can master weapons just fine lol   ::)


You have power that is always on, even while you sleep, that causes anyone who lies to you or within earshot of you catches on fire...the degree of the fire is directly related to the measure of the lie.

Fire.  Cool.  Liars burn.  take it.

You have telekinetic powers, but can only access them while you're asleep and just after you wake up.

Hmmm...leave it    :-\


You have the power to grant one wish per day, but never for yourself and each time someone that you do not know dies at random somewhere in the world.

Take it. I'll just tell my friend that someone will die, then I'll tell them to ask me for a wish that stops people from dying, and then I'll grant it. So one person will die when I grant the wish, but no one will die after that ;D Unless my friend is sadistic and would rather have a million bucks....

You can master all of the video games in the world, but you cannot play any of them online, at LAN events, or at a friends house.

? hmmm "I wish that no one dies"...ok...but the magics require that someone dies, so someone dies...but everyone else is immortal...try to worm around wishes and bad things normally happen  :)


Leave it.



You are able to breathe underwater, your body is completely adapted to underwater...you can only leave the water for as long as you hold your breath.

Leave it. Sounds too much like a fish. lol. I eat fish.

Every time you blink, it counts as sleep. It doesn't interrupt your train of thought, you just get that small amount of time, but it adds up. In return, you can't ever dream.

Hmmm gonna have to leave it...no dreaming is to invite insanity   :-\



You can fly (without wings), at speeds of 100+ mph, but you levitate/float a time double to that amount of time that you fly...for example you fly for 6hrs and then the next 12hrs you float as if completely weightless...if you apply your flight to manage the weightlessness then the time just gets added on.

Take it. I don't see the total issue with floating a lot. And I don't see myself flying for more than a few hours.

You have endless amounts of creativity in the story-telling department but you're permanently illiterate.

Leave it.

Your body only requires 2hrs of sleep to be fully rested, but you have green skin.

(Also, point for anyone who can name the books I pulled this one from.)

The floating thing is the issue that it was weightlessness...imagine a helium balloon, outdoors, and you let go...what happens?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_QE-4ibrGAM&feature=related (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_QE-4ibrGAM&feature=related)

I would take the story telling...others can write it down for me and read it back to me  :)


*****



Hmmm this sounds like a win win to me...take it!

Namek's from DBZ  :)


Your touch draws out all sickness, damage, and illness but uses up a retaliative same value of life force from anything living around at that moment...heal a kid mangled in a wheat field by a threshing machine, the process kills of an acre of plant life and any animals caught within the area of affect.

Point to the first who notes where this is from  :)

I'd take it.  I value human life over that of plants.

Also, sorry Rel, that's not it.

You have the opportunity to be trained in the Force and be one of the most powerful people in the world.  However, for the duration of your training (4-6 years) you cannot contact your family or friends. (yes, including us forumites)

Take it. I can always catch up later. None of my family is in dire consequences at the moment, so I don't think there would be much of an issue.

Be able to create light anywhere, but you have decreased vision abilities. They can be corrected with glasses or whatever tho. =)

...the life energies of plants, animals, and other people within range   :-\

The Force...take it.



Take it, why not?


You can become intangible (pass through walls and such) but you can only stay in this state as long as you can hold your breath, can only carry your weight and 10 lbs., every second you are in this state you have a 01% of being stuck that way and then only being able to become tangible/material as long as you can hold your breath.

Leave it.

You magically gain the ability to play The Trooper by Iron Maiden (including the solo) on guitar without making any mistakes, however, you will also never be able to play Smoke on The Water, which, if you are a guitarist, will make you a total laughing stock... until you whip out your axe and play some Iron Maiden ;)

Take it. lol. Enter Sandman is still one of my favorites tho. And Roulette, by System of a Down.

You have the ability to levitate and it takes about the same amount of energy as running, but you're twice as heavy when you're on the ground.

Hmmm an alternate gravity power eh?

Why not, I'll take it.



You are abducted by aliens and they probe you "for answers to questions"...the side affects are that you are x3 as strong, fast, tough, intelligent, charismatic, attractive...and are now telepathic, empathic, and can fly (no wings)...but you are without reproductive organs (inside and outside), you are a complete neuter.

Take it. Rather have all that.

You are abducted by a species that is partial to torturing and killing using telekinetic powers where they make solid, invisible objects with their minds. They give you the choice to become one of them, but you would also go along with the torturing and killing. The alternative is death at their hands.

Take it...bide my time, gain their trust, and then arrange to kill them all if possible.


Your brain is transferred into a completely artificial body...you look human-ish, but anyone would notice the difference.

I'm picturing Data from TNG, so take it!

You are an amazing athlete, the best in the world, and can play any and every sport and excel with little training. However you are so good, you are banned by all sports governing bodies, from participating in any official competition.

Still want it if you looked like this?

(http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20101005004742/irobot/images/8/88/Festo-Airics-arm-NS5.jpg)

Take it.


You are mutated by a mad scientist and now have hollow/honeycombed bones and wings (bird or bat)...you can fly (based upon your endurance)

Take it. I could fly! =)

You are immune to heat of all grades, but you get cold REALLY easily.

Take it.


You are magically transformed into a living doll...3' tall, firm plastic, etc...immortal...regenerates any damage.

Leave it... I would hate being that tall....

You can recall the lyrics to any song you've ever heard or listened to, but if something doesn't have meter to it, you have insane issue remembering exact words.

leave it.

You have superhuman strength, speed, agility, senses, and metal-kinesis.  Also, regenerative powers that mean you can only die through beheading.  However, to gain these powers, you must have 8 spikes driven into your chest, and one through each eye.

(http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20120626215460/mistborn/images/0/0f/Inquisitor.jpg)

Basically, you become a Steel Inquisitor.  http://mistborn.wikia.com/wiki/Steel_Ministry (http://mistborn.wikia.com/wiki/Steel_Ministry)

Leave it. That sounds terrifying. *shiver*

You become a demon with the power to freeze anything with a touch and you're immune to physical trauma, but you're barred from all parts of society because of your strange appearance.

Leave it.

You have a wide range of powers and abilities, making you virtually unstoppable.  However, to access these powers, you have to consume different types of metal; one for each power.

Errr... I'll take it I guess. Just to see what would happen. lol And hey, Ca is a metal, as is Na and K and all those other fun things.

You can have mastery of one martial art but you have to stick to that, no crossing over.

Sure why not...Judo.



You have a magical power that allows you to shape-shift into a murder of crows...you have regeneration, flight (as crows), and illusionary powers...on the down side you must be alone, romantic love breaks the spell and makes you completely mortal.

Wait, I'm one crow or an entire murder? If it's one, then take it.

You can be educated at one of the premier schools for whatever subject you want to go into on a full ride scholarship, but for the four years it takes to get your degree, you're so busy you can NEVER talk to family or friends.

Take it, without a doubt.

You are the greatest inventor of all time, capable of inventing anything from the best new Twinkie-like food to ground-breaking weapons and beyond. However, you are a sociopath and will therefore have no qualms about using your inventions for any number of heinous purposes.

Take it.  I'd probably be a bit dark side with my powers anyway.

You are asked to serve on the first manned Mars mission, but it comes with all the risks and discomforts inherent in such a trip.  The reason you're asked aboard is unimportant; it can be anything from a skill you have to the simple need to have an extra person aboard.

A whole murder of them, I would imagine 13 would be appropriate :)



Well sure I would.



You have been found to have a unique aspect to your blood...with your blood a true cure to HIV/AIDS can be developed in one week and out to the world for free distribution within a month...the downside is that you will become sick and die within a year once they remove this element from your blood.

Take it. If it helps all of those people, it's so worth it. Although... that doesn't exactly solve the population problem... erm... =/

You have the ability to take away all war in the world, but to do this would be to cut the world's population, random 2 in seven will die.

Take it...I would make a world wide announcement, give people a chance to say goodbye to loved ones and then make it happen.

The common loss would unify the world...or I would do it again...but I suspect the nature of the "no war" would kick in and we would all hold hands and sing campfire songs  :)



You are a descendant of a dragon, in times of stress or heightened emotion you transform into a 50' dragon and stay that way for hours...eventually reverting back to your human form.

Leave it. The government would be on my tail faster than you could say, "FIRE!" I could outrun and outgun them, sure, but I don't like the idea of living out my days in isolation, which will happen, or risk endangering everyone around me.

You can end world hunger by magically creating an endless supply of food all around the world, but you will die of exhaustion when the spell is completed.

I would take it, but I would worry that the world's population would use the sudden increase of resources unwisely.  Leave it.

You can remember everything you read or witness.  With this ability, you will be called upon to be a living repository for the world's knowledge to preserve our history.  You will be hunted by tyrants wishing to change history, and sought by scholars and wise men wishing to learn from you.

Take it. I can deal with stupid people and I would be honored to help people learn.

You can influence the emotions of people around you, but your emotions become very erratic while and a little bit after you work your magic.

Take it, my emotions already are erratic :) ;) :D ;D >:( :( :o 8) ??? ::) :P :-[ :-X :-\ :-* :'(

You are supernaturally beautiful/handsome, but you will never find love.

Leave it.  I already found love, despite my ugly mug.

Your breath is flammable, which means you can spit fire.  But, it comes with all the risks inherent with flammable gasses.

Take it...Vegas here I come!


Your brain is fully functional, as in 100% use, you are connected to the internet via psionic link 24/7 with multiple layers, you can connect and link on dozens of different pages at the same time...downside, you are a permanent quadriplegic. 

Leave it. Never want to me paralyzed. >___<

You have the ability to teleport, anywhere, anytime, but there's a 1/1000 chance that you'll just go POOF in a cloud of logic. Point for whoever gets the poof of logic reference.

Hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy?

Take it.  That's a very small chance, and I wouldn't be teleporting often enough for it to become a serious concern.

You gain a magical workbench that lets you build almost anything without needing any tools, so long as you have the materials.  However, to gain said workbench, you need to carve it from a single tree using only your bare hands.

Take it.


You can control the elements within your line of sight ala Avatar...earth, air, water, fire...but each time you use the abilities an equal value of elemental chaos/randomness happens somewhere in the world...a completely random location beyond your line of sight.

Take it.

You gain the ability to use the Force, but the entire universe becomes like Nam Chorios in that each time you use the Force, it is magnified and released randomly - and devastatingly - as a telekinetic storm elsewhere on the planet.

Kaiden, you were right. =) Hitchhiker's Guide.

Yikes. Leave it...

You have the ability to change your appearance at will, face, hair, body, whatever, but everytime you do, you're laid up in bed for a week and after about 5 or 6 changes, your body becomes unstable.

Leave it.

You can live forever, but if you do, you will also become sick once every month.

Meh. Leave it. No one wants to live forever.

Would you rather be a Wild West gunslinger or a Viking?

Some people would.

Viking.

Would you rather be a samurai or a ninja?

Ninja. Samurai were pompous jerks and ninjas can do all the same things anyway.

Would you rather be a pirate or a cowboy?

<_<

Pirate.

Would you rather be a soccer player or a basketball player?

Soccer. You get way more fit from running around. =)

Would you rather have an iPod Classic or a plain flip phone?

A flip phone. I've never had the need for an MP3 player.

...I just realized we were posting about the wrong thing in the wrong thread.

...

Um...

xDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD We're awesome.

Have the ability to create gold from any base metal, but every time you do (in any quantity) some gold somewhere else turns to base metal.

Yes we are ;D

Take it.

You can phase through solid objects but if you do this more than 10 times each day, you will die.

Leave it.


You wake up with the complete blueprints in your head for a big red button.  If you press the button then 1 in 4 people will disappear forever...a population control button...once made the button is indestructible.

Take it.

You are able to end all wars for all time. However, you must downsize every species in Animalia by 25% (one out of every four creatures in each species will die. If there aren't four creatures left in a species, one will die regardless) to do so. The deaths will be instant and completely random, with the exception that you are guaranteed to survive.

Meh, leave it. No wars means endless conservation of today's late, rotting capitalist status quo, which I dislike. Okay, okay, got it, no politics. I shut up.

You can enter a battle trance which turns you into an unstoppable fighter. However, you can't think clearly in this state, and run on reflexes and instincts.

Leave it.


I have the power to enter video games and play as an independent character but the video games follow their programmed setting/rules, if turned off you are trapped until turned back on, if you are injured or die in the game then it depends on the game...if unlimited lives are available then great if not and you run out then you are lost and stuck in the game for ever.

Take it.

You are completely fluent in every language, except your native language.

Take it. Speaking my own Russian with a ridiculous funny accent is a fair price for speaking every other language fluently.

You are elected President of a country. However, the local constitution states that every former President's decisions and affairs are put to investigation after their term is over, and if they find anything remotely fishy, criminal or corrupt, they will execute you for high treason.

Leave it...politics is a dirty job and cover ups are a part of life, a piece of planted info and off with your head.



You are one of the elite superheroes on Earth, except that rather than comic book style where most heroes look fairly normal, your powers and all the supers powers are evident...super strength means gigantic muscles and size relative to increased levels, super brain means larger head (yeah I know, go with it), all power have fringe effects like crackling energy, radiation, fields, heat, etc..

Leave it. I don't like superheroes.

You find reliable info where a lost storage facility chock full of Nazi gold is located. However, you are not the only one; some mysterious and well-connected rival also knows this secret. Will you try to retrieve it?

Leave it.  Said rival will probably beat me there and/or kill me if I try to go after it.

You will never need sleep again, however, you cannot sleep at all, even on the most boring nights.

Leave it! I love sleep!!

You can go back in time for a single purpose: to be the man inside Vader's suit. However, your face will not be seen and you will never have credit for the role.

Leave it...I am not terribly tall, 5'9"  lol



You have Cupid's Eye, meaning that when you meet someone you instantly see the face, know the name, and location of their soul mate...what you do with the information is up to you  :)

Leave it... I'm not into those relationshipping things.

You are Harrowed from the Deadlands game. That means, you rose from the dead and are now immortal and hard to kill, but this is the handiwork of a demon who can try to possess you when it's least needed.

Leave it.  I prefer my heart to still be running.

You are a powerful telepath, but so much stress on your mind has rendered your perception of time skewed.

What the heck, take it!



You have the ability to perfectly detect lies in others and find you can not tell or even write lies of any kind.

Leave it. I don't wanna be Applejack just so I can see when others lie.

You have the ability to lie without any risk of your lie being detected/discovered. However, you feel a tremendous amount of guilt every time you lie.

Hmmm I already have that...or did I just lie (ah ah wait for it!)   ;D



You wake up to find you have a perfect singing voice, eight octaves and beyond...you must be careful and retain full focus or you could open gateways that allow ghosts/spirits to gain access to our material plane through your voice (pouring forth from your mouth as ectoplasmic sound)

Leave it, I already have a 3 octave range :)

You can fly, but you need a lot more food than normal humans.

TAKE IT. Flying will reign supreme.

Be unable to eat meat, but you can shapeshift into any animal.

Take it.  I don't like meat enough to keep me from that power.

You have the ability to sense the location of valuable items underground (Archeological discoveries, gemstones, oil pockets, gold, etc.), but you have to give 75% of your findings away to fund their excavation.

Take it. It would be cool just to discover the stuff. =)

You have the best aim in the world with anything, guns, archery, spit balls, but you're being constantly searched out by mercenary groups that ruin your life.

Take it. I will always have a weapon with
me and stay my guard.

You have the ability to cause anyone to
perform your will, but that person knows
it was you that made them act.

Leave it.

You can be the best in the world at any sport you desire. However, you can never make a penny from it.

Leave it.


You never have to use the bathroom, but you get injured very easily... i.e you break a bone when you get hit with a pillow.

Leave it. Going #2 isn't THAT inconvenient.

You can read minds, however you instantly say out loud all thoughts you read.

Leave that, holy shell. Not worth it.

You are a parkour/combat master, but you must have exactly 8 hours of sleep- otherwise, you are left sleepy and unable to concentrate on anything until you have the 8 hours. If you oversleep, you must have another eight.

Leave it.

You never get sick... Never... Not Ebola, cancer, food poisoning, the cold... Never.

But

You glow in the dark.

Take it. Then I'd never need a flashlight again. Bonus

You have the power to make anything happen. But if you use it for personal gain, you die. (Personal gain also applies to recompence for good deeds. So you can't conjure a winning lottery ticket for the object of you affection who then agrees to be with you.)

Leave it. I'd unintentionally screw myself over in pretty short order.

You are immortal, but your mind decays at a regular rate.

Leave it.

You can change the size and shape of your entire body, but you can't change "that" (ya know)

Take it


You can give people great and life long joy when ever they meet you, but never form any memories ever. You constantly live in the present. 

I already do that... ;D ::)

Pass

Take it.

You will be immune to age and will live forever, your apparent age will begin to degrees in speed. However- your health will be fragile, the slightest injuries will be more damaging than you remembered them to do to you, and more extreme ones may be fatal.

Leave it.

You have laser vision but cannot see while using it.

Take it. (Always wanted to laser face someone)

You can regenerate from any wound, but the pain of incurring them is triple.

Leave it. I don't like pain; it hurts me!

You control the weather, but you must control all the weather all the time all around the globe. (You can still do other things, but you always have to be thinking about the weather)

Leave it for sure.  I've got better things to do with my time and I don't like being in charge!   :D

You can see the future of every loved one you have, but you can never speak of it to anyone.

Take it, provided that I'm still allowed to intervene. ;D

You can fly, but only after you've been falling for 10 seconds.

Take it.  I'm a good judge of "falling distance" from lots of unwanted practice!  :D

You can go back and relive any pleasant memory you choose at any time, but you will then forget that memory ever existed. 

Leave it. "What good's a memory if you ain't around to remember it?"

You are immortal, but must drink from the fountain of youth once a week to sustain that immortality. If you do not, you will instantly turn to dust.

Leave it. Immortality is over rated.

You leap over a skyscraper in a single bound, but landing is different matter. (If you catch my drift.  ;))


PS: Nox, I did the math. A fall of 10 seconds required over 3200 ft. FYI

The internet seems to think its closer to 1610 feet.. still.. quite a ways..
http://www.gravitycalc.com/



Leave it.. I prefer to avoid Rapid Deceleration Trauma..

You can levitate objects at will.. but you instantly lose an amount of you own body mass equal to 1/10th of the objects mass.

I don't know whether I should reward you for catching the mistake, or beat you senseless for questioning my math. ~¿~

Take it. 5 seconds at a gym could undo a month of rich eating. ;D

Your body hair is indestructible, but you look like a Wookiee.

Leave it. I would want to keep my superpower unknown to the world and a mutation like that would not be conductive to social interaction, to say the least.

You have an Achilles's Heel. You are completely invincible except for one place (of your choice) on your body that is one inch square. If you are ever injured there, the wound is mortal.

Take it. (Sorry right arm pit.)

You have night vision, but it takes an hour to transition.

Take it.. I can wait :)

You can turn invisible, but only when no-ones looking..

Take it. At least I can turn invisible and don't really have any major side effects. Plus, wouldn't I want to do it when people aren't looking anyway? They'd know where I was otherwise and that defeats the purpose of invisibility.

You become all-powerful but to do so you must sacrifice everyone that you are close to. You will not be able to bring them back despite being otherwise all-powerful.

2 questions on that:

1) Can you get away with just sacrificing the relationships so that you have no one close to you?
2) Can you develop new close relationships after you've acquired the power?

Nice possible Loophole,,,,how very Fae-Like of you.

1. No. They die.
2. You could develop new close relationships, yes.

Hmmmm....a con and a pro. This is tough.

It is tough; that was my intention. So Logos, the choice is yours - take it or leave it?

Just to throw this out there, wounds to the right armpit are often fatal anyway. One of the reasons a lot of special forces are trained to stab there. There is an artery there and rupturing it causes massive blood loss. One of the few true instances of "dead before you hit the ground."

As for the all powerful thing.. Leave it. I'm on my way to being all powerful anyway.

You are rich and famous, with whatever lifestyle you wish. Money is no object to you, but you have to take ten years off your life.

Take it. If you gotta go, go with a smile >:D

You can breath underwater, but it hurts like hell to do so.

Take it. I already can't breathe underwater. If I really didn't want to hurt, I would just hold my breath. If I did need to breathe though, for whatever reason, it would be nice to have.

You are immune to all diseases and illnesses and really anything that can naturally go wrong with the body. No heart attacks, no cancer, no strokes, nothing bad happens naturally. Injuries are still a possibility, so you can break your arm and it still has to heal. You could jump off the Empire State Building and you would still die. All natural bodily ailments are meaningless, though. The catch is - you always have a really bad cold, complete with headaches, chills, everything. Take it or leave it?

Any takers? Or leavers?

Leave it.

You can use the Force, but if you use it for more than 3 seconds, you black out when you finish using it. There is a maximum limit of ten seconds. When you wake up, you are in intense pain and throw up everything you eat for the next X number of days. How many days depends on how many more seconds you used it than you should have. 5 seconds = 2 days etc. So take it and be careful how long you use it, or leave it?

Leave it.
You can use force stealth, but only when you are out of money.

leave it. I am always broke so it would be used regularly but, i couldnt use it to get money so the power is useless. ( i guess i could adopt a barter system)

you can read the thoughts of those around you but it is always on. You need to remain Extremely focused to prevent insanity from the voices.

Take it. I could deal since I only pay attention to people half the time anyway.

You can regenerate from any wound, but the heat of regeneration burns your clothes off every time.

Take it. I don't mind prancing around in my birthday suit.

You have unlimited power to do anything you want, but you die after seven days.

Take it, I can use my infinite power to percieve a reality where I lived for eons in on the stretch of that 7 days.

BAM!

complete working knowledge of the known universe, but you have no memory of who you are.

Well played. Points

Take it. I can use my knowledge to further the human race as well as make the big bucks. Plus I have tons of family and a lesser amount of friends who can tell me who I am  ;D



You have the ability to run at light speed but can't turn right or left. You can, however, lean in the direction you want to go, as well as go backwards.

Take it.

You can turn super strong like the Hulk, but you poison your body a little bit each time which will eventually lead to your death.

Fae-like?


How much is a little bit?

Enough that you feel it and it visably shows (raised sickly veins etc)

How long 'till you die?

Or more to the point, how many times before you die?

Yes, that's a better phrasing.

Five

Tough choice, I'll leave it to someone else...

Can you control it? How long does each bout of strength last?

As long as you want, but the longer it lasts, the quicker you die

But you just said that you can do it five times, does it matter how long you do it each time? Wow, you sure picked a toughie.

That's what I meant. five times, but you can choose how long it lasts each time. But the longer you stay that way, the quicker you die

So if it's a matter of duration versus occurrence, it won't make a difference how many times you use it. Too confusing. :P

Leave it.

You can communicate telepathically, but you drool like an imbecile when you do.

Agreed, to confusing Knox. :)

Ooooohhh telepathic communication...... but seriously Logos? Now I hate you. :P Arrrrrrrggggghhhhh!!!

Take it.

You have the power of flight, but cannot go higher than 10ft off the ground.

Now that's a no brainer! (Is that spelled wrong?)

Take it please! ::)


You can jump really high, but the next day you are really sick and dizzy.

I initially misread that and was going to respond "That's going to happen anyway."

That is how you spell brainer.

Take it.

You have the power of teleportation but can only use it once a day and have no control of where you end up.

Not according to the spell check...

Leave it.

You can have everything that you want and imagine having for one year, but after that you're a beggar for the rest of your life, tormented with the memory of what you once had.

No-brainer is definitely how you spell it. Must be a UK english thing! Lol

Leave it.

You have the power to make any wishes come true, but only for other people, not yourself

Indeed, these weird Americans. :P

Take it. (I know, it's weird, I'm a Sith)

Drawing a blank........ drawing a blank......... arrrrgggghhhhh.......... Oh, got one:

You can live in the Star Wars galaxy for one week every year, but the longing to be back there will drive you crazy if you get to distracted.

Leave It.

You have all types of super vision but you must kill the person you love most if you use heat vision.

Take it. All kinds of super vision, but only heat vision is limited - sounds like a good deal to me.


You have super strength, but you can only access it when not sleeping for 24 hours straight.

Leave it, I have mild insomnia and I'd really dislike having to stay awake for 24 hours straight again.

You can shapeshift, but whenever you're in a form other than your own, you have a 2x greater chance of dying.

One month later...
Take it, its already hard enough to kill us animals as it is.

You can breathe underwater and barometric pressure no longer becomes an issue for you, but you become allergic to nitrogen (Remember, theres nitrogen in the air around us.) and you get mild headaches one day out of every week

You have an amazing cooking ability.  Any dish you make pleases people tremendously, but if you eat it yourself, it tastes like sawdust.

Ooopps... Leave it.... Sorry.

That's okay, everybody makes mistakes. Expecially minor ones.

Take it, I live of of microwavable and frozen food. Sawdust isn't that bad, either. I'd be happy to be the best chef in the world.

My turn!
You live longer but you experience time in slow motion.

Take it. It'd be just like Spartan-time. My reflexes would be unmatched.

You can fly, but you have to maintain a diet of seeds to do so.

That would be kinda hard considering you move in slow motion too.  :-X

Leave it. You'd probably die if you weren't eating seeds constantly.

You can eat and enjoy as much food as you want forever and never get full, but you'll always be immensly underweight and people will always remark how you look like you've been starving in an alleyway.

You said everything is experienced in slo-mo, not done.

You're agreeing with me then?  ???

Take it. Maybe they'll make a Thinner 2 movie about me. Then I'd be rich, and a waif.

You are asked to write a movie script. You have your pick of any actors/actresses EVER to be in your movie. You have creative control over everything. But your name will never be in the credits, you won't receive any royalties, not one penny from the film. You are to tell no one, and deny any affiliation to the film. The truth will result in you having your tongue removed from your mouth.

leave it.

You have the power to stop time. Everyone else in the world is frozen but you are free to move around. However your body ages prematurely by 24 hours for every minute time is frozen.

Take it. And I would become a crisis negotiator.

You can morph into anyone you physically have seen. You can only stay morphed for half an hour at a time, and only once every 5 days

Take it.

You can manipulate earth with your mind in anyway you can imagine, but doing so damages your body in proportion to the effort you exert.
Fatal injuries being a real possibility.

Leave it

You cant die, but you cant eat.... You simply starve. It gets worse, you take any pain tenfold, and so does your entire family..., but they arent immortal

That sucks. Hella leave it.

You can create the greatest sabers ever designed, but you can only keep them for 24hrs. After that you can give them away or else they disintegrate into dust.

take it. I'll be like hitori hanso in kill bll.

You have the power of teleportation but cannot control where you end up.

Leave it.  With my rotten luck, I'd zap to 100ft above the Grand Canyon, and have to do my best Wile E. Coyote impression.

I wish I had someone to hang with this long weekend.  :-\

Wrong game, dude.

Yep, you got me.

A bit distracted/distraught right now - sorry.

You can instantly teleport anywhere on Earth, but you cannot interact with a single, solitary soul.

Take it, I'll just have to do everything in groups.  ::)

You have X-ray vision, but it only works when you see reflected UV light.


PS

No.

leave it.

You have super strength but it only lasts for 15 mins each day

I'd take that, if I knew when the 15mins was going to happen.

You can fly, but never land.

Leave it, unless there is a floating restroom. Otherwise, leave it.

You can turn regular rocks into diamonds, gemstones. But gaining a profit from this power is forbidden, punishable by leprosy

 I'll take it. (Assuming that "profit" in this case is defined as personal monetary gain, not friendships, potential promotions, getting to meet people, or causing good things to happen for other people because of the diamonds value.)


You can read the thoughts and intentions of anyone you can physically see in person. but you cannot speak yourself. (You can still write, type, or use sign language.)

Take it.  No one listens to me anyway.

You never age a day, but everyone else does.

Take it. I'll take care of all my family's needs with my youth as my ultimate strength.

Your blood has the ability to heal virtually every cancer out there, but the pharmaceutical companies are making your life a living hell, which includes them trying to whack you.

Leave, I have enough issues with vampyr after my caffeine system.

You have the ability to see through clothing, however it only works on the gender you are not attracted to.

Leave it.... definitely leave it....


You can have the powers of flight, super-strength, super-speed, super-reflexes/reaction times, hyper-acute-senses, enhanced durability, and near instantaneous healing, but these powers will kill you, with no way to avert it, one year to the day of when you accept them. And you can only accept said powers right now, not at a later time.

Leave it. You can only solve so many issues with said powers.

You can instantly teleport anywhere, with anything, as long as you touch it. NASA asks you to take them to a distant planet. Worst case scenario, you end up in a black hole

Take it.

You have the ability to control the minds of others....but can only do so after a three day bender of whiskey and rice wine.

It is by Caffeine alone I set the Force in motion.

Leave it. Just...no.

You can time travel only once, but only to the past, at any period of time.Once you arrive, there is no coming back

Totally take it. >:D

You can read minds, but you hear everything at once.

Ugh...no...silence!  Leave it.

You are very charismatic. Everyone likes you. But you never get a moment to yourself.

Leave it. I can't imagine myself without sarcasm and snide remarks.

You're offered training and the gig to do the space jump 2.0. this time, you'll be equipped with a flight suit


Btw, when I get my manic stages, my senses heighten. I smell everything, strong and from far, I get a gag reflex, and my hearing amplifies. The amount of stuff I can hear drives me up the wall. So that's a hell no, leave it for me as well

Take it. Why not give it a try?

You have the ability to give a million people whatever they want most, but you yourself will never have any of the things you want.


(Hyper-sensory stinks man. I used to be a lot more hyper-sensitive than I am now, it was not fun at all, so I have a very rough idea of how un-fun that is. Gagging, salty ocean, sandy beach, bright sun, wind, loud music, crowds, even food textures. etc. Not fun at all.)

Take it! Big take it! If I had money, I swear, I'd do so much with it. My wife would strangle me, but it'd cut her a check and rid myself. I got the philanthropist spirit.

You are one of the greatest athletes in the world, top of your game. Endorsements, guaranteed contracts. But physically, by age 55, you're gonna break down rapidly.

Leave it. There's a big part of me that wants to... but no. I've seen too many people whose bodies don't work anymore and I don't want get there at age 55.


The leaders and people of every country offer you the position of Dictator of the World. You will be absolute ruler of the entire Earth for as long as you can maintain your rule if you accept. But there is no going back, and you will be feared, hated, mocked, and laughed at. You will be in constant fear of the many assassination attempts that will be made against you. There will be constant war with several extremist groups who desire your death. And in the end, you will either be assassinated at a young age, be exiled and forced to live out the rest of your life alone and powerless, or you will maintain your power long enough to learn to hate yourself, just as everyone else does. And then you, loathing your choice, you will be alone and unloved for the rest of what will prove to be an unusually long lifespan. On the bright side, you will have the power to do whatever you want during your rule. You can bring about near world peace and an end to most disease and hunger; not to mention stamp out most of the corruption in the world. Or you can become unimaginably rich and powerful, leading your armies to crush those few extremist groups who oppose you. But either way, your time is limited, and many will hate you.   

Leave it. You can't be loved and revered, but he hated and nearly  assassinated all at the same time. Too many hypotheticals. End all, be all, dictators aren't well received.

You have a great gift of teaching. All your students have gone on to be students and even better adults. But you are asked to go teach third world countries for the next 20 years.

Leave it, I don't even want to stay in my home country for longer than a couple weeks.

You have the power to see and banish ghosts to wherever the heck ghosts go to. However, you must drive away any and all apparitions you see - this includes the specters of children who really don't know any better, as well as the shadows of the elderly who just want to watch over their families.

Leave it. Too many businesses would go under, since some of them uses ghost stories as their claims to fame. My niece's hotel she works at is cursed and that's the only reason they get business.

You catch word of a "hot spot" for alien abductions. You don't know if you'll be experimented on, or taken for space exploration and adventure. It's a crap shoot

Aw Hell Yeah, plus even if the aliens kill me or whatevs, I might get a memorial
And if they don't, that's cool too!

You find a magic genie,
He will grant you one wish for every INNOCENT soul you sacrifice to him

Leave it.  Enough of that happens without my help.

You're given a remote control that will function like in the movie "Click". 

Leave it (anything that Adam Sandler is involved in must be tainted)

You have the powers of Spiderman, but you have to sleep in a web cocoon

Wise choice.




Take it. With great power, comes unusual sleeping habits.



You can have Force powers, but every time you use them, you lose a year of your life.
 

Tempting, but no! Leave it. I don't even know how long I'll live so simply use my powers to get the remote might be my last.

You are asked to be part of a team to assemble the first true lightsaber. After a year, it's a success. But the investor wants to use it against the Super Allies of the world. You can take all the info and destroy it, preventing terror, or can just go about your business, taking the large sum of money and living in seclusion on early retirement

The thing with this one is that there is an option you didn't mention.....

I'll just rig it so that it explodes with a remote control that I hold.... of which i'll use AFTER I get paid  ;)
So I guess that's a take it

You can defy gravity, but you can't touch the ground, or you'll die

Take it. But why is everybody trying to..........................wait for it................................bring me down? ::)



You can see in infrared and other thermal spectrums, but you can't see visible light.

No. Leave it. Life's too beautiful.


You have the ability to change your size (think Ant-Man) but if you stay a certain size for more than 10 minutes you'll remain that size... FOREVER

Leave it. How would you sleep?

You can go invisible for as long as you can hold your breath, but somehow smoking increases your lung capacity.

Leave it. Lung cancer's no good!


You get to choose any fictional ring of power (Green Lantern, The One Ring, The Mandrin's Rings, The Flashe's Ring, etc.) to use, but now villains and evildoers are always after your family.

Ugh, tough! Leave it. Family is too precious.

You can get anyone to fall for you, but the longer you have relations with them, the more socially inept they become.

SOOOOOOOOOOOOO TAKE IT. I'm already socially inept. Screw the world, I got my baby.

Your tears turn to diamonds, but only those generated by the loss of a loved one. (Broken hearts included)

Take it. Death is part of the circle of life. might as well have some good come out of it

You could be a powerful wizard but each time you cast a spell you age 1 year

(http://www.andpop.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/tumblr_nxtbenOiBL1siec8do7_400.gif)

Leave it. Time is precious.

You'll always be employed and earn over $1,000,000/year, but you only have one week of vacation aside from Sundays off. Oh and one other thing, retiring early will cause you to lose it all. Take it or Leave it?

EDIT: For those of you who don't know, the guy in the GIF is Merlin, who cast an aging spell upon himself.

Pfft! Leave it. What good is money if you can't enjoy it. I don't get vacation as it is, but 6 days a week, neh.

You are given the opportunity to go back to any age of your life, but you will take no knowledge of anything with you.

Leave it. I'm sure I'll make the same mistakes over again, without the knowledge.

You get to sleep with your crush, but she marries someone else the next day and you won't be able to do it again.

Take it or leave it?

Leave it. What's the point of having a taste that will only drive you further into madness?


Your right foot is invincible and super strong, but there is nothing else remarkable about you.

Ironically, I actually have a knee injury I will be going for surgery for soon...

Leave, because as much as I probably am not that remarkable, I want to believe I am special.

You get the ability to make everyone like you and be your friend, but deep down, you don't trust anyone.

Take or leave?

Take it. I have no friends and I don't trust anyone anyways so I win both ways!

you can heal any disease, but every time you heal someone, it goes to someone random.

Leave it
You're chasing tail, essentially.

You become the richest person in existence. You have the means to buy the Star wars franchise, but as part of the purchase agreement, you have 0% say in any creative control or future endeavors.

Then what's the point? >:(

Leave it..............buried next to what the cat threw up.

Your pinky toes are invincible.

Take it!

You always wake up from sleep refreshed, but have to sleep at least 8 hours any time you sleep.

Take that in a heartbeat!

You are rich and successful but will never have a significant person in your life.

I said "frell that" back in high school.

You can fly through space without a suit, but you're allergic to air.

Leave it. I'll never get to space anyways

you can have any superpower you want, but your costume is a hot pink Speedo.

Take it.  Screw people's conceptions!

Food doesn't make you gain weight, but you are always hungry.

Leave it.

You have one wish, but if you don't word it exactly perfectly, it will go haywire, and find a loophole.

Take it. >:D


You can make any food taste the way you want, but if you do it more than once a week you become violently ill.

Take it.  Useful.

You get any one fictional character to call upon for advice or conversation any time you want, but their adversary may do the same of you.

I'm thinking make kale taste like bacon.

I like kale, as long as it's cooked.  I was thinking onions or pickles taste like bacon.

Take it. You never said I had to be truthful in my advice >:D

You are immune to all illnesses but are allergic to your favorite foods.

Cooked Kale can be good if done correctly and paired well. Onions are awesome and bacon only makes them better. Save that for when you get stuck with a shell meal

How long have I had this ability? If I was born this way, I would be allergic to every food source because "favorite" comes from familiarity. :-\

Such a nitpicker lol. Fine, This is a new ability and you are allergic to your top 10 favorite foods.

Leave it. Food should be enjoyed.

You have the ability to perfectly camouflage your skin to your surroundings, but you can't control it.

Take it. 

Ambient temperature never makes you uncomfortable, you are still susceptible to exposure issues.

Ooooooo

Leave it. Discomfort, like pain, gives critical information about your surroundings.


You can manipulate fire, but you feel the corresponding temperature on your skin.

Feel it, but does it do the damage?  If it damages, leave it, if not, TAKE!

You can turn water into an alcohol of choice, but when you do it turns all the water any part of you is in contact with, into said alcohol.

Higher temps = more pain

Just pain, meh, pain is an old friend.

you can have a lightsaber of any color and hilt you want, but it's only light. no cutting thru stuff or deflecting lasers.

Take it. Then I can take it anywhere and no one can whine that I'm carrying a weapon.


You can fly, but only north. ;)

Take it.  Doesn't say you can't glide the other directions.

You have the power of Jedi mind trick, but it only works on mice.

Take it, will keep the little frellers out of my house so I save money on the good traps and the really good poison. Plus a hoard of mice can get just about anywhere and destroy just about anything. >:D

You can understand any language but can't use that understanding to communicate back.

Leave it, too limiting.

You have the means to make any and every costume you want for yourself, but can't put any of that to use to help costume anyone else.

Take it. I have no idea how to make costumes myself. (I really need to learn tho)

It also doesn't say you have wings. >:D

And then?.............

That's what gliders are for. ;)

I'll run with this.. Fedora dropped the ball and literally "took it"

Leave it.. just WTH do I want with all those costumes?? Seriously, you should see my closet space, not to mention, when and where am I going to wear said costumes. Nope.com

You have the ability to manipulate the weather, but you can only change the weather in small regions, like a small town, but not a big city.

Take it, why do I care about places I'm not? ;)

You have free admission to any and every con you want to go to, but you are an instantly recognizable celebrity at them.

TAKE IT! That's what security is for. 8)


You have the ability to cook the most delicious food ever, but it looks absolutely revolting.

Take it!  Presentation is not important to me.

You can have any car you want, all expenses paid, but you have to pick a new one every year.

Take it in a heartbeat. (Hello Mark V)

You have all the money you could ever ask for, but you're ugly and smell bad.

Leave it.. just the smell bad part.. oh gosh no.. I'm gagging thinking about it...

You have the Midas touch(everything you touch turns to gold)

Leave it, I need to be able to pee. ;)

You get a new lightsaber every 3 months, but you have to give away one you already have at the same time, and it cannot be the same hilt that you are getting either.

Take it. I'll give away the little Walmart ones XD

Second half of your reply?

you can have any elemental superpower, but using that power would feel as if that power actually hurts you (lightning would electrocute you, fire would burn) but it doesn't actually hurt you, it only feels like it. (Thanks for the reminder Illyiss, and sorry, I keep forgetting the second part)

Take it. Once you figure out that it is all in your mind, than you can overcome the pain.

You have the opportunity to act in a SW movie. However, you have no say whatsoever in what the story is, who your character is, or how you portray your character. Oh, and it may very well be written and directed by Rian Johnson.

LEAVE IT. SW in this century sucks.

[After re-reading the OP of this thread, we are supposed to be playing SUPER POWERS with drawbacks.]

Your can turn invisible, but only when nobody is looking. ;)

Take it, doesn't say you can't STAY that way in the presence of others.

You can fly, but you have no feet.

Take it. It's just like not needing legs on a spacey MS.


You can breath underwater, but are 10x more attractive to sharks.

Take it, organize them into a supervillain force, and take over the oceans.

You have super strength, but are terribly uncoordinated.

Take it. I'd still probably have better coordination than I do now.

you have superspeed like the flash but you need to consume at least 20,000 calories for every hour that you use superspeed, otherwise you will go into a coma from lack of nutrients.

Uh, Take it! Superspeed is literally my absolute favorite superpower.

You have the ability to walk through walls. However, everytime you do, you leave a piece of you on the other side.

Take it. I can afford to spare a few atoms.


You can hulk out, but due to the laws of conservation of mass you weigh the same, so momentum is an issue.

leave it. it would be no gain to me.

you can teleport anywhere on earth, but you can't choose where you teleport.

Leave it. You don't want to accidentally teleport into a wall or the center of the earth or anything like that.

You can create (and by definition that is to make something out of nothing) anything you want. However, every time you use this power, your sanity level drops by 20%, and it cannot be regained.

Leave it. I'm not sure I have enough to get started with.


You can have any Force ability you choose (only 1) but you are only 10% effective with it, at best.

Take it. Force lightning working 5% of the time is better than not at all >:D

You have the ability to use x-ray vision but every time you use it your regular vision starts to deteriorate.

Leave it, x-ray vision is over-rated.

You can time travel at will, but never to where you expect.

So....   You're the Greatest American Hero?  ;-)

And that's Quantum Leap...  :-)

Leave it.  Not knowing where you are can be deadly...

You can shoot heat vision with your eyes ... but you cannot turn it off except by closing your eyes.

I know this story, and you end up with Jean Grey.  Take!

You are have nearly unlimited wealth and are a genius, but no one loves you and lives.

And then she ends up killing you. ::)

Depending on your definition of wealth, this is me. :P

Leave it. In the words of Zorak, "Everyone needs lovin'....even me."

You have the ability to attract anyone you choose, but you also attract everyone else as well.

I'll take it at this point. I'm going to assume being blunt with the people that aren't Hunter McGrady will work enough of the time.

You could live alone in a house in the middle of the forest but you will never be able to leave.

leave it. I like people

you could be a main character in a SW movie, but you could never leave the set of the film

Leave it. Unless it's a set from Episode IX and Daisy Ridley is there and can never leave either. 

You can write the scripts for all future Star Wars movies after Episode IX, but Michael Bay will direct all of them using only cast members from Friends and Seinfeld as the main characters.

Leave it. I don't like any of those things

You can have any superpower you want but you can never stop using it (ie; if you have superspeed you can never slow down)

Leave it. It would make my life a living hell.

You can use The Force...but if you ever use it beyond simply sensing things (Force-push, choke, lightning, mind tricks, etc.) the Empire (or any other such thing) will know about it and come to destroy all the planet to make sure no Jedi ever rises again in the Galaxy (will you be able to resist the temptation?)

Take it.  Temptation is all but a construct within the mind, if you can conquer that, you can conquer anything.

You can use your powers of persuasion all you want, but each time that you use it, the persuasion becomes darker and darker until a life is lost or you become ruler of all.

Take it, ruler of all sounds fun  :P

you can have the best luck in the world (ie. always win gambling and luck related stuff) but whenever your luck gets better everyone around you has really crap luck (ie. tripping over nothing at all, spilling your coffee on your date)

Leave it. I'm already used to having bad luck. I don't need everyone around me to suffer.

You can have the most incredible friend ever. But you have romantic feelings for them that will only get stronger, and you know that you can never be anything more than friends.
