I think I have to vote for the ability to inflict Psychic orgasms on the women of my choice. WooHoo…what a power… -Sam ---

1. The power to remove another’s power. 2. The power to create powers in myself and others. 3. The power to block the power to remove another’s power. ---

I would have Presence: When I talk, people listen. I would dominate any gathering and people would look to me for affirmation of anything they thought Potence: When folks would look upon me, they are immediately consumed with a single thought of glaring clarity…don’t fuck with that guy, and please god, don’t let him be displeased with me. Celerity: The ability to move with blinding, vision-blurring speed. Remember Keanu at the end of The Matrix? Slacker… Those three would do it for me. Although I was hard pressed to give up Telekinesis for Presence. I am into an RPG can you tell? ---

Yeah, that’s a good set, especially when you get up into the levels that the Elders can use (Flick rules)! ---

I always thought Koffing was into tackle, poison gas, and self-distructive powers. Or am I thinking of something else? 😉 ---

## nigh invulnerability (bulletproof is Ok) incredible health detection of evil (better than telepathy) vampires: phui 😃 ps:aseymayo: i like those stories also. a nice bit of wry humor in a number of them. I always wanted to see a Asey/Wolfe/Archie one time collaberation. ---
