Default Choose a neat Power

If you could have one of these powers, which would it be?

1. The ability to change the color of anything at will. You can only effect 100 feet of object(s) at a time.

2. The ability to change the gender of any lifeform that has it, to any gender that is natural for that species.

3. The ability to visit and control a person's dreams via mental projection into their sleeping mind. To do this you must know the name and description of the person whose dreams you wish to visit. It ends if they wake up. You can deciede whether they remember the dream or not. But you cannot cause accual harm to them. If you frighten them enough to wake them they will wake up.

4. You can access a computer with thought, it can be any computer that you know of and have seen. It must either be on or plugged in so you can turn it on. After that you can visualize a screen which projects what the computer is showing. You can then use it normally with your mind acting as a mouse and keyboard.

5. The ability to pull any nonliving object out of your pocket as long as the price isn't more than a US dollar. It can be any pocket as long as your wearing the clothing that has the pocket and the item is small enough to fit in the pocket. This doesn't count things that are only less than 1 dollar because of sales or other discounts. Nor things that are considered priceless or otherwise have no set value. Only things that are fairly and regularly priced as less than 1 dollar count.

I interpret the ''CIS" limitation to refer primarily to intellectual limitations which would inhibit a character from making creative or intelligent use of his known powers or skillsets.

Number 4.

It would be quite helpful in some games.

4.

3 sounds fun, but I think 4 has more practical value. There's only so much you can realistically work with on dreams.

And even if I could make shenanigans, it'd be too mind-rapey for my tastes.

I pick 4. 5 doesn't sound all that useful, what with the economy and all.

I may even find some other uses for this great power. other than using it for my own property , of course.
