    "Some sort of "communicate with animal kingdom" ability would be good as well."

    That lost all credibility when Eddie Murphy started doing it.

    I'd like the power of Groundhog day at will. I.e. I can try out every different possible combination of a day so that I get it right, then I can move on to the next day. It would have also saved me a hell of a lot of embarressment back in Year 10...

    Course I think its funny now.

    "Timestop" would be incredible, give me a chance to do homework without missing out on a day, or sleep.

    Yerril ... fragrancing??? You want the orcs to know how sweet you smell as you chop their arms off? :confused:

    As for me ... this is a tough one. Part of my mind is thinking "What minor seeming power could I have that would actually turn out to be the biggest power of all???" Like Magneto ... who'd a thought the Master of Magnaitivity would be such a butt-kicker.

    Being more myself, I think I'd want a power from the "Rhapsody" Trilogy from Elizabeth Haydon. Achmed has a path-finding ability. He can look down any road and see where it will end up. I'd like the ability to do that with choices. "If I decide to take this job / move to this house / eat this hot-fudge sunday" what will the results be. Then I could see various possible futures and groom my decisions to fit the future I think would be best.

    There would be a few combat applications to this power also I guess, just so I can live long enough to enjoy the future I've seen (if I strike his leg, what will the counter-strike be ... seeing that instantly and being able to respond in combat would be a little advantage!)

    heh, if living somewhere where sheep are abundant and chicks aren't, you would need daily use of a certain special ability - a spell of creepyness.

    On casting, the caster is given:
    cloak of rain protection (a wax jacket, so as to look inconspicuous when out in a field);
    boots of grounding (wellington boots) and;
    racket of cursed tennis playing (a stringless racket).

    Think about it, as i don't want to have to explain it in detail. I think i probably would get kicked if i did that.

    Just thought of another one, a great gift without which we would all have destroyed our game copies in sheer frustration...

    The reload function. What bliss.

    Kill ya teacher, then reload. Ask out a sex goddess, fail, reload. Fail your exams, reload!

    Ever see the movie Ground Hog Day? You'd be living that.

    Yerril ... that is much better than Fragrance!

    Not exactly, seeing how he'd be in control of the reload ability, unlike in "GroundhogDay" where the protagonist is subjected to it.

    Invulnerability (and I mean the real stuff, not with any "kryptonite" or any other weakness). Or maybe teleport.
    Just Imagine how cool it would be, nothing can destroy you, you don't have to breathe, you don't have to eat, you can't die, you can be in the center of an atomic explosion and it doesn't even scratch you. You don't get sick. One bad thing is you don't get drunk, but that's ok.
    And teleport? How cool is that? "Oh, today I feel like having lunch in Paris" <<tzzzz>> "Here I am". Or maybe: "this class is boring I wanna go to club I wonder if the clubs in (anywhere) are good" <<tzzzz>>, really cool.

    *Looks really rejected by forum and whines like baby*

    I SED THAT ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME! 'Groundhog day at will' constitutes it pretty much I believe.

    Lol, I'm not really that bitter... *Plots to overthrow and kill everything in retaliation*

    [​IMG] Hmm :hmm:

    I would like to have psionic abilities, manipulating minds and energies would be so cool, telekenisis, divining, flaming, mind reading, levitaion. The works...

    Failing that the ability to go borrowing. Bored one day? lie down in your bed and go into the minds of animals and people going round and doing what you'd like.

    There isn't an English word for it, but I believe the proper word is - Kilmangri.The ability to shapeshift into a fictional character in your imagination. however it would only work if you knew sufficient amounts of knowledge about the person or you would be stuck between the two unable to change back.

    Failing any of these I would simply like to create dimensional rifts nd able to go and rule Chirofen, as is my destiny :hippy:

    Either "Sleep" (mage level 1) or "Silence: 15' Radius" (priest level 2).

    For those times when the downstairs neigbors won't shut the hell up at four in the morning - yes, I do actually try to sleep at night!

    Oh, yeah. I just remembered another cool ability to have, Omniscience!
    Yeah! You know it all, every thing thing that has ever happened, is happening or will happen, you know it! Taking over the world is just easy when you already know all the things you gotta do to get there. Bwah-hah-hah-hah-hah!!! :evil:
