What kind of psychic metalist would you want to be? Choose your powers from the list. And what would you do with such powers? Do you have ambitions to change the world, or is it just for your own fun? And would you be careful and undercover, maybe to avoid being noticed by other psychics or even secret organisations? Or would you go full public and become a psychic star or even a cult leader?

I don't really want any of the high level one but the mental shield option seems to suggest that other people can do psychic shit to me so I want that one and the 160 iq

People, or other beings, demons, angels, spirits, aliens. Who knows.

>big illusions
>astral travel & mental shield
>invisible world, lucid dreaming, master level artistic skill (unsure which field)
i'd want to explore the wonders of the world(s), learn about topics which interest me, create art from my experiences, and share it to inspire others. most of the powers i chose reflect this, with big illusions & mental shield primarily being chosen for self-protection from anything i find that might try and influence me negatively. i don't really have any aspirations of large scale control or power like being a cult leader or whatever, just want to live my life, cultivate myself, and engage with the people and things i enjoy
>>41670092
you still get another medium skill and two low skills
>>
>>41670177
Nah I'm satisfied. All I've wanted for my whole life is to be able to get things done without people bothering me. 160 IQ plus mental shield is perfect.
>>
I seem to have come across threads like this before... something like CYOA, but what's the point of them here? There are topic sheets somewhere, after all...

High: force ghost
Yeah, I'm immortal. Cheers, mortals.
Medium: astral travel, exorcise
I'm the astral cleaner. There's something strange, at the astral plane, who you gonna call...
Low: high IQ, lucid dreaming, small illusions
I can appear with any form I want, and create my own reality. And I'm immortal. I guess I'm a god now...

Fun game, let us try it ....

>give low-skill to others (high IQ)
>strong mind reading, being invisible
>create small illusions, high IQ, temporarily disable emotions and pain

The IQ increase in others is a force multiplier. Mindreading prevents your creatins from scheming against you. Invisibility plus illusion is just too fun of a prank to miss out on ... and with mind reading it can be truly abused for full effect. The rest is probably to get out of hairy situations and sharpen clarity even more. ^^

>>41672133
My issue about the mind reading would be with relationships. Imagine you have a gf, would you tell her that you can read her mind any time? If you do, she might have problems to trust you when she says "don't read my mind without asking me first, ok?" and you say "ok". Will she believe that? Will you keep the rule? And if you don't tell her, that's basically lying to her constantly.

>>41670092
Nah, it's an idiot pick.
>>
>>41670083
absolutely horrible and unreadable design.
>>
>>41672198
>unreadable
sounds like a skill issue
>>
>>41672208
Yes, unreadable as in "I don't even want to read this because it's so badly done".
>>
>>41670083
illusions that doesn't affect cameras is a huge drawback

1: mind control
2: see past, mental shield
3: invisible world, small illusions, perfect memory

And guess what? You don't have to.

>illusions that doesn't affect cameras
That's the basic thing with mentalism: it affects only the mind of beings, not technology.

Good roleplaying opportunity! Yes, I would build that character with a strict red line on mind reading. Ofc there is from another´s perspective no safety that trust could not be abused, acknowledged. But in a way it is the same issue of trusting your spouse with a kitchen knife, knowing he is - let´s say - some dangerous killer in his field of work. It would best to be open about the ability here, even if it could backfire with mistrust. I dunno how the Give High IQ ability would act here ... intelligence could equally result in suspicion. You could ofc lie and stick to your "honor codex" here. It would be doable (why would you even want to know the thoughts of one you love ... unless they are shared openly) but it would lead to a double life. One day she might get very upset because you stabbed the postman (who was really a disguised trained assassin, the intent was written all over his thoughts) ...

>mind control
the only good choice here. now you're playing a dollhouse/the sims irl.

>astral travel
ultimately, there is nothing you won't be able to do if you master astral projection. there is no reason not pick this.
>mental shield

>perfect memory
>see the invisible world
>high iq
>>
>>41672414
even with a mental shield, there is some vulnerability to the astral travel.

>he has to pick high iq

anon, I...
>>
>>41672425
astral projection is more than just floating as a ghost.
>>
>>41672441
which is why mental shield wouldn't cover all attack vectors

I wonder if anyone would not some day use it for sexual abuse...

>>41672478
real world is different from fantasy, what's appealing in your head doesn't translate to the real world. also a good way to get yourself offed quickly.

Difference between an honest and a power player. Stats are stats. :p

Probably. If there is something like a SCP department, people using mind-control would be on top of the list.
