Title: If you could have
Post by: Eoraptor on June 10, 2014, 12:49:54 AM
...one power set from the game in real life, what would it be?

I think my first choice would be Empathy. Imagine what I could do with that! It would great to be able to use the power "Clear Mind" to help other people focus. One small downside however is that most of the powers only work for other people, and not myself, but that doesn't bother me much, at least the powers "Regeneration Aura" and "Recovery Aura" are AoEs. :P

Do the required secondary powers come with the package? Or would super-strong muscles rip apart your skeleton the first time you flexed them?

The powers I'd want in real life are not necessarily the same as the ones I'd want in a combat-heavy situation.  I'd certainly enjoy Electrical Blast or Electrical Melee, but it wouldn't really be applicable to day-to-day living.

So I think I'd go with Willpower.  High pain tolerance, lots of endurance, fast healing, heightened senses, and resistance to injury?  Yeah, sign me up.

(If I could have TWO powersets, though... then, yeah, Electrical Melee/Willpower.  Or, if we don't have to follow AT rules, Electrical Blast/Willpower) ;)

Really, though, most days I just wish I had Inherent Fitness.  ;D

Regen would be very useful.

Ninjas.

Who wouldn't want a squad of Ninjas standing by?

Flight.  I wouldn't have to worry about traffic anymore (except when I go shopping - I don't think I could carry all those bags of food on my back).

Flight would be fun... but it might be even more entertaining to go with Super Jump. I can just imagine going all boing'a-boing'a-boing'a across the city.  ;D

Definitely echoing Empathy.

Flight.  Without a doubt.  I wanna be a Nathan Petrelli.

Illusion Control.

A) Already a wallflower, might as well go full invisible.  Then at least I could have some fun.  And I can bring friends.
B) Who doesn't want to psychically torment someone sometimes?
C) You have a retort to "you and whose army?".
D) Guarantees "volunteers" to help you move.

A) Superior Invisibility, Group Invisibility
B) Spectral Wounds, Blind, Flash, Spectral Terror
C) Phantom Army and Phantasm
D) Deceive

Yup, good old flight for me too... the ability to simply go up and over obstacles (and annoying mobs groups of people) is by itself a fabulous. but then add in other benefits like death from above dropping stuff on people...

kinetics, or energy aura. nice mix of subtle offensive/defensive powers, and kinetics gives me super speed, healing, strength, AND superjump!

Definitely Empathy. Not only would I never get sick or diseased, I could heal my family/friends if they ever did. Nobody around me would ever have any health concerns and we would all live for a long time. If I felt low one day I could use Recovery Aura to boost me into feeling great. Mental and emotional problems could be cured with Clear Mind. Dead people could be revived with Resurrect. I'd be a modern-day Jesus Christ.

Let's not even mention how much money/fame could be made out of such gifts.

Regen would be nice -- that whole rising from the dead thing would make quite the impression -- couple that with some heals and you've got the start of a good career.

Mind control. Best case scenario, I can actually control minds and not just do holds/sleeps/confuses, and I can stop wars and enact beneficial reforms to society by controlling a few key individuals.

Worst case scenario, I use Confuse during the next Congressional press conference and watch them all slap-fight each other. :)

I think probably flight or invisibility.  Can I take both? Too bad we didn't have X-ray vision in this game....

Is it cheating if I say Luminous Aura? I get shields, healing, flight, and to top it off, White Dwarf.
Title: Re: If you could have
Post by: Skull Thuggery on June 27, 2014, 01:10:59 AM
I'd go with Dark Armor (Tanker Version). You get resistances, a damage aura, an awesome heal, invisibility, a fear aura, a stun aura, and on the off chance that all that doesn't keep you alive, a self rez.

Fire blast.

Very good excuse to say"Toasty!" to those that pester me.
