Re: Super Power Lottery
Let's see, I started with Psychic Creation. Cool, I'm basically like Green Lantern, but without a weakness to yellow or wood. I think I'll do that 3 power thingy, though.
Kinetic Energy Absorption- I can literally take any punch thrown at me.
Transformation- Pretty self-explanatory.
...I've got all the powers of a nerd stereotype, times infinity.Avatar by whatever Zjoot became.
Will take suggested phrases in sig. PM with ideas
Am I missed in my absence?

Re: Super Power Lottery
I think we should start comparing how powers would fare against one another. But, ah, re-roll if you've got world destroying/reality warping powers. That's unfair.
On two more "rolls", I picked up Enhanced Leadership (yay, I'm charismatic; is that a power?) and Volatile Constructs. Okay then, now I can make electrified bombs with rock from geokinesis as insurance.Steam username is Triscuitable.
I got VAC banned in COD: Ghosts for using an FOV changer.
I try not to think of how sad that is.

Re: Super Power Lottery
Let's see what I get.
History Manipulation. Well this is pretty awesome, I can literally alter the course of history. I can create my more what if scenarios and then play them out, hell with this power I can do pretty much everything I could ever want. Plus it seems that HistoryAbsorption is an application of History Manipulation which looks pretty awesome by itself.
So far I can be the ultimate hero or villain, just by editing the course of events that transpire. This power is pretty good by itself by lets roll for the other two.
Martial Arts Intuition. Ok so now I am the ultimate martial artist, I guess its a good power but nowhere in the tier of History Manipulation. I guess I can star in my one action movies, or make money in MMA or something. Beware my fists of fury, for they can edit you from existence. Alright last roll.
Cosmic String Manipulation. So now I can also time, space, and dimension hop while also being able to change whatever I want by tugging on the cosmic strings something is attached to as long as it is not a gas.
Hmm I think we should create a new group. A group for those with cosmic entity like powers, a Pantheon of sorts.Last edited by rapter200; 2012-08-17 at 01:44 AM.

Re: Super Power Lottery
Wait a minute. The rules seem to have changed to 3 rolls. First new ability: Ability Acceleration Okay, now I can manipulate other people's skin. And Blue Manipulation. Disguises still make me too useful for LUTAS, don't they?

Re: Super Power Lottery
The rules didn't change at all. One person with a shoddy power decided to roll 2 more times, which defeats the purpose of one random power (it's a lottery; you win or you lose), and everyone followed suite.

Re: Super Power Lottery
Anyone who rerolls is virtually guaranteed to fail LUTAS membership, but will probably be more fleshed out and interesting as a superhero. If you are still bound to take the three it doesn't necessarily defy the point of a lottery, but it's certainly not nearly as 'all-or-nothing' as the one roll.

Re: Super Power Lottery
Oh, were we not? When I saw everyone else doing it, I assumed it was like the other superpower thread, where we get 3 random powers.

Re: Super Power Lottery
It's not as fun, either. Especially when you've got people rolling once, getting a world-ending power, and rolling two more times, or a person rolling with the power to grow another toe, and rolling a few more times to be able to throw planets.

And that is why you fail. /Yoda
So, yeah. LUTAS kinda got shoved aside once all you world enders showed up.
Of course it's not like we were going to get the call to save anyone.

Re: Super Power Lottery
True. I kind of thought the rerolling thing would have been interesting so I tried it for kicks, and I ended up OP'D as ****. Personally I like forcefeilds. I mean, I can FORCE CHOKE A BITCH if I wanted to be evil! I can go surfing, paragliding, rock climbing, and all with out tools.
I'm good with my first power, and happily get rid of the other two.... I mean that second one is like the entire word is screaming out, "EAT ME! YOU'RE MESSIN' WITH THE ORDER MAN! EAT ME!"
And the second one is rather redundant for me. >.<Last edited by AeonsShadow; 2012-08-17 at 04:09 PM.

Re: Super Power Lottery
Rolling twice more seemed fun, especially since the first (two) powers I got were quite dull; even Aquaman was better.

Re: Super Power Lottery
But the additional two powers generally means you're going to end up super-powerful regardless. I did a re-roll and ended up with undead physiology and critical impact. That is essentially a game breaker right there.
I say roll three times and pick one power that cannot warp reality or end life on Earth. That fair?
MASH isn't evil, we're morally ambiguous.Last edited by Triscuitable; 2012-08-17 at 04:33 PM.

Re: Super Power Lottery
Speaking of rerolling, I need some way to distinguish myself from Halberd. Since I rolled first, it's only fitting that I also roll extras first.
[Also, funny coincidence: I created an account on an MMOFPS a few weeks back with the name of "Halvard Halberd".]

Re: Super Power Lottery
Cryptic Physiology. Apparently this means I can morph into any mythical, legendary, or otherwise imagined and fictional creature I like. With all its inherent traits and abilities. Wow! That's actually really powerful. I could be anything from the Tarrasque to a Syren.

Re: Super Power Lottery
What's LUTAS? Gravity Manipulation.
SpoilerThis is the thief who likes to hoard,
That loves the bard with the puppet Lord
That admires the fighter with the green-hilted sword,
That employs the Wizard, whose bird is ignored,
That has the gender unexplored
That intrigues the Halfling, usually bored,
That slew a mountain of the goblin horde,
That follows the cleric,
That serves the lich,
That seeks the gate,
That guards the snarl,
That lives in the prison the gods built.
guess what I was gone but now I'm back

Re: Super Power Lottery
Well I could keep both of my first two powers and qualify for LUTAS
(ParkourMan and Detect Evil)
My third power would be game breaking however.
I think that the random power generator may have balance issues.π = 4

Re: Super Power Lottery
Considering my ginger-ness, I could actually find some practical use for that. No sunscreen, no sunburns, no more freckles...
Well, duh. You guys turned it from a lottery into a "roll three times for a broken superhero!" Doesn't that ruin the fun of it for anyone?Steam username is Triscuitable.
