    I got the idea from here.

    What is the one "superpower" you want to have? Forget X-Men and Supermen etc, since I'm talking about Fantasy more or less. Some ability from a PC/console/PnP game. Not a broad ability like "healing" which would include healing, protecting, resurrecting, and all of these with an infinite ratio of strength. But more detailed abilities. Like mere healing only, or resurrection only, invisibility, etc. Can't really describe exactly what I mean but I think you get the idea.

    I'm sure many would want to fly, and be able to become invisible. But I'd hope we get a pearl or two of real innovation. Add a small explanation of why, as well. Just one isn't needed, as that would limit what people have to say too much.

    I would probably go for either being able to heal sicknesses (cancer, AIDS, poison, etc), or then teleportation. Some sort of "communicate with animal kingdom" ability would be good as well.

    I fit was a power to benifit others, then i agree with what you said, to find cures for diseases.

    For a more selfish power, ability to become irresistable to chicks. Not a permenant thing, but to be able to use it once a day, as with most special abilities (chicks chasing after you all day would get a bit tiresome)

    There's a test titled 'Which supernatural power do you possess?' or something like that. If you wish, I can give you a link. My result was X-Ray vision. It's a good test I bet, because the rationale behind that was quite fitting.

    shapechanging would be cool. "I'm an eagle! No wait, I'm an antelope, ah wait, the ground is 20 kilometres below me, I'm an eagle again!"

    Scrying. You know, with a crystal ball or reflecting pool. Aside from the obvious perverted, cheap thrills type stuff, it would be cool to see what really goes on in the Oval Office, in Saddam's palaces, etc. And the dressing room at the Victoria's Secret lingerie show. Definitely that one. Forget Sadaam and W. Gimmee Heidi Klum!!

    Otto's Irresistible Dance. (8th level Wizard Spell)

    How cool would that be? :grin:

    My first target would be Master of Nuhn of course ;)

    This is interesting... I think I would, in essence, want the same kind of ability to affect minds as Corran Horn has in the Star Wars novels. It would be perfect... I could make peole see and believe evrything I wanted, play with their memories, make them do what I wanted... oh, the sweet power!

    Or, the ability to absorb and discharge energy, which Corran also has, would be swee´t, too. It's the trick Vader used to reflect the blaster bolts in Cloud city. I could, in essence, stick my fingers into an outlet, suck up some power, and then zap someone á la the Emperor...

    Can't really decide. Can I have them both? It could be called beíng a Halcyon... :p

    The ability to eat everything I want and maintain a good figure without requiring undue amounts of exercise. ;)

    Seriously, time stop. It's the only way we'll ever catch up on the housework (providing that we're not too exhausted when the spell ends to go back to having fun).

    Heroes Feast!
    Eat as much as you can and feel better after. (I usually feel like pudding after eating a large amount of food.)

    Faragon is the one to entertain us with his spells while I am wearing some improved cloak of mirroring.

    This is a hard one, but I would have to say the ability to control the elements (all of those on the Periodic table, as well as Fire, Water, Earth and Air, but that raises the question of whether or not Earth counts as an element, as it is basis for the others because it provides a place for them to exist, anyway, back to my post)
    if that isn't asking too much of course ;) . That or the ability to read minds :D . And fly.
    The aforementioned ability of scrying as well, that's original, and if I had all of those, I would easily be able to take over the world! My dream could be realized!!! HAHAHAHAHA!!! Bow to the might of Lord Neon!!!! HAHAHAHAHA!!!

    Sorry about that, I'm obsessed, well, that's my two cents.

    EDIT - Nevermind those, maybe, but if I could become immortal, then screw those! I wouldn't want to be undead, unless I was a vampire who could take sunlight (like that ring they had in Buffy the Vampire Slayer that made Spike immune to sunlight and wounds) then I could enjoy eternal life, so many think that would be a curse, but to be able to witness all the years of the Earth would be a gift unrivaled by anything!

    Hmmm... I'd like the ring of Gaxx (with all of its powers) and probably a nice hour-long time stop per day.

    Failing that, a big +6 sword with light, fragrancing, regenerating platemail armour, and amazing ability in using both of them. :D

    Iron Body, and an Amulet of Contingencied Time Stop, which casts Time Stop whenever something threatens me [a bullet, a car, a fist] so I can cast Iron Body, or like, move, and THEN cast Iron Body. It would give off the impression that I have preminisions of danger. Like spider sense or something.

    Oh, and Tenser's Transformation and a Cloak of Improved Invisibility and Etherealness. For all of those times I have to set /noclip off.
