I voted for the third option, but I would say the best would be the Law of Socialism in RPGs, where people don't mind your entering their house and looting their possessions.

You should have included Doom's "God mode". Total invincibility to any and all weapons would be a pretty neat trick.

Do you have any idea how hard it would be to get 100 Gold coins the size of your head??? An OUNCE of gold is worth around $1000.00 last time I checked. SO unless your planning on looting Ft. Knox or the Federal Reserve in NYC I doubt your going to get much use of that ability.

I think it be much more then a "neat trick"
. However, I try to avoid options that would make very lop sided polls.

Maybe, but who the fuck knows how to play an ocarina?

You DID say impossible.
And I'd like to see you try and hold on to the leg of a duck flying for hundreds of miles...

Actually I really doubt that its hundreds of miles considering you can walk across the "world map" of that game in less then a day or two.

Being able to carry an unlimited or near unlimited amount of material on your body without it slowing you down any.

I can't believe I'm the only one who voted for Mog's ability! Michael Flatley move aside, for I am the new lord of the dance!

Dude, nobody's ever wanted to be able to breathe fire?

But I can do that with a bottle of Everclear and a lighter.

Yeah, but that's the cheap way out.
Plus, it requires a lighter.

I thought about voting for the curry, but then I realized that if you can breathe flame with it out of one end then it wouldnt be "pleasant" when it finally came out the other.

I think Dhalsim's firebreathing is more of a Yoga thing than anything else. You know, like spirit channeling and such.
Hence why they're called "Yoga Flame" and "Yoga Fire".

And idnoclip to walk through walls... though just being the Doom Marine would be pretty bad ass. The guy could carry around...like 350 pounds of guns and ammo in his backpack, sprint at 40 miles an hour and FALLING NEVER HURT!!!
But I voted for being able to punch holes in the wall for revitalizing roast beef. If I had rost beef that would restore my health... well, I'd quickly develope a higher pain tolerance, as a side effect...

Personally I would say the infinate chow yun-fat/john woo slow-mo-doken with infinate ammo. But that would be movie powers...

I choose wizard abilities in EQ.
In 16 seconds, you can go anywhere you want on the planet, on the moon, or even to alternate dimensions

The "double jump", ie. jump once, then hit jump again for an extra mid-air jump. I never got that.

How about the ability to save and reload? That would be my favorite ability. Save four hours before an exam, take the paper and memorize the answers, then reload my reality state with my knowledge still intact. I could take a whole lot of risks with it...
Or I could make a fortune by buying 4D (local gambling system where you pick numbers and if it is mentioned in the papers, you get moola) witht his power.
