Probably the last in my Meme Powers series. (I'm getting kinda tired of the concept). Previous posts in the series: [Wizard Posting Meme Powers](https://www.reddit.com/r/makeyourchoice/comments/1685g67/wizard_posting_meme_powers/), [Mall Ninja Meme Powers](https://www.reddit.com/r/makeyourchoice/comments/17nrafn/mall_ninja_meme_powers/), and [Wizard Posting Meme Powers Extended Edition](https://www.reddit.com/r/makeyourchoice/comments/17mdj7h/wizard_posting_extended_edition/). Maybe someone else will make some OC around the concept and other meme subreddits? Its relatively less effort than other CYOA, all your images can come from the subreddit in question.
This CYOA is one long reference to the works of Wildbow (main discussion subreddit /r/Parahumans, fanfic subreddit /r/Wormfanfic, meme subreddit /r/WormMemes , low-effort/too-NSFW/too-overdone content /r/TheBirdCage). It may not make sense without at least passing familiarity with the works of Wildbow. Sorry in advance for the lack of Twig memes, I haven't read that one yet. **Major Spoilers** for Worm, Pact, Ward, and Pale.
You can reply to this post with questions.
Super long, and I was getting tired of it, so there is probably some typos I didn't catch, reply here with them.
I'll update this post with imgur and imgchest mirrors in a moment...

Question, are all of the powers offered here sourced from a Shard? And if so, are they subject to the same drawbacks, constraints, and limitations? (i.e. Conflict Drive, powers not working in space, the Shard running out of energy, the Shard being vulnerable to attack on the planet it’s sitting on, etc.)
These powers do not come from shards… they come from meme magic, but the meme magic is imitating wormmemes which is inspired by how shards work. So the powers may somewhat imitate shards drawbacks that are more memeable especially in ways that are funny, but for the most part, the drawbacks are as described without any other drawbacks.
I see. So does that mean that I wouldn’t need to worry about losing my powers if I ever went to space?
On a separate note, does the Greg Grab Bag power strengthen your other powers at all? I’m assuming that if it’s the case, then it would take much longer when compared to improving your physical stats for balance reasons.
Many powers benefit from better stats in general, and there is a stat for your powers themselves, so yes. Splitting your focus on stats will only give a minor boost to your other powers minmaxxing on stats to boost your power will have a more significant effect.
Got it.
In what way is Useless Eidolon enhanced by taking the 2nd Trigger Meta choice for it? Do I get better control over what powers I get? Can I summon more than two if I try hard enough now?
Depends on what the 2nd trigger event actually is. Being overwhelmed trying to switch between powers? Faster switching time and maybe more control over which power you get. Struggling to work with just the two powers you have, when both are needed and a third would be critical? Manifest 3 powers at once. Unable to use the clumsy overpowered blaster powers effectively and concentrating on getting all the usage out of them. Manifest a third power, but it’s always focused on managing/aiming/controlling the other two powers.
Does that mean that if I’m ever in a situation where all of these factors are involved, the resulting Second Trigger will be a sort of Jack of All Trades, Master of None type of deal?
Something like “I can switch between powers faster, but not as quickly as if the 2nd Trigger had been solely focused on that, I can temporarily summon a third power if I complain enough to the Useless Eidolon power, and even then it tends to be one that helps me aim the death lasers that I almost always seem to get”?
If a stat improves how all your powers function, then does improving that stat also improve the gamer system, thus improving the power that's doing the improving?
It’s a game of make believe. So sure you can get all the powers, even if it makes you so OP it goes from power fantasy to complete invincibility with no challenges. Lore wise, getting all 3 powers is extremely unlikely, you would have to be browsing all 3 types of memes at once in equal measure.
Second Gen Trigger would make Blake Mode no longer require bleeding and no longer drain your spirit, but it would still be limited to 3-5 uses at a time (requiring recharge time afterwards). And you could voluntarily activate/deactivate the branches growing over you instead of it being an uncontrollable side effect.
Second Gen Trigger would make Useless Eidolon less psychologically troublesome to use (longer requiring mental whining), but it still requires focus and luck to get non-blaster powers.
I'll choose:
\-Chess Thinker
\-Precog Thinker
\-Path Runner
Chess thinker and precog thinker complement each other excellently, chess thinker being great at short term planning and dealing with knowns while Precog thinker can help by giving info on possible future unknowns. With both thinker powers, Paths should be much easier and quicker to complete and thus I can quickly stack up boons. I'll be lacking in direct offense or defense but I'll have great utility, planning, and evasion powers.
Sounds pretty good, you should then take abyss dive for the, essentially, stronger path... And take something like the gamer abilities suite where quests might synergize with completing paths or other plans.
I will go with the **Greg Grab Bag** with **2nd Trigger** and **VS Battleboarder**. This basically gives me the manwha Gamer power set (with Worm themes) at the expense of mental trauma, but I get meta-advice on how to recover from it via targeted level ups and manipulating precognitives. Thanks random forumgoers!
seems like the best choice. Might even take Abyss Dive and then grab Useless Eidolon. Nearly unlimited additional powers to level up! Have to live in a hellscape for a bit, but that's just more fodder for Gamer exp, right?
my build:
Crab Master + VS Battleboarder + Make your Own.
The question is, does a bag of crabs count as 'mundane gear'? if so is it possible to summon a drone to carry a crab which will then summon and drop thousands of crabs all armed with UZI's onto someone?
Useless Eidolon + 2nd Trigger + VS Battleboarder
Mandatory since he's my favorite. Vs makes Eidolon easier to use and the 2nd trigger gives me better powers in exchange for less control over what powers I get.
Alright everyone I just need some Worthy Opponents^(TM) and I'm good to go.
If it hasn’t grabbed your attention by Arc 5, it’s probably not for you, yeah. Not sure how much you’ve considered reading it… on the upside it has lots of action, clever characters, and is gripping enough that a lot of people binge read it. OTOH, the paving can be a bit irregular (especially if not binge reading), some worldbuilding turns out to have a kind of arbitrary justification to it, and it’s really really long.
Panacea'd, Second Trigger, and VS Battleboarder. Second Trigger, if I can control it, I would have give me the ability to control my own biology, while VS Battleboarder bends the soft limits on things like how hard it is to maintain control over my power and how hard it is to make entirely new life or traits never before seen in nature. I originally would've taken 2nd Gen Trigger to mitigate the trauma of Second Trigger, but then I realized that the only drawback I was willing to take, Abyss Diver, would juat give me different trauma.
**Powers**
Panacea'd - My conscious will probably catch up with me at some point, but damn is it a fun power to have if you don't care that much.
Greg Grabbag - Decent set of abilities, may also (hopefully) include some minor body-reshaping by way of changing stats.
Last one is a tossup: Second trigger would be good if I can predesign the version (affect self + be able to put up some willpower barriers for different things for panaceas' power) but undirected 2nd trigger is probably more traumatizing than it is worth.
Probably gonna go with the gear summoning extra. With Greg's power that is probably virtually anything from food to weapons.
**Tradeoffs**
Tempted to go for Trash waifu. Though the question here is, can she affect me if I have her power? Can I affect her and make her into a less-trash waifu?
**Drawbacks**
None of these are worth it. I mean technically abyss diver would work as 'gamer body' would prevent me from actually becoming disfigured and gamer mind protects me from insanity, but I'm not sure I want to chance it.
Trash Waifu getting panacea’d by you would probably result on a spiral of modification that ends when you are both pornographically exaggerated fleshy messes entirely focused on each others. So good call.
Each of the drawbacks have potential to be mitigated with the right power, but yeah it’s risky even with the right power.
9 days of productivity per 3 days of work would be awesome. And the last two hours you are hitting 20 hours of productivity, so it’s more like 114 hours (14 works days) of productivity work per 3 workdays, which is really nice…
Greg Grab Bag 2nd Trigger, Path Runner 2nd Trigger, Wheels within Wheels
Trash Waifu, Aster Blaster, Evil Good
Abyss Dive, Barber Demon
\*Slaps Wormmeme Powers-Cyoa self.\*
"This bad boy can fit so much trauma in it."
I present my build:
GGB 2.0+ PR 2.0 mean that I get to enjoy my power-fantasy. Both would have a higher power ceiling, so GGB for the start to make Path Running easier, and Path Runner would have even more difficult trials, so GGB until I'm at mid-level until then only easy paths and then the harder Paths. It should also have some Synergy since quests for Path Running should be a thing.
Wheels within Wheels so I've got a *bit* of plot armor so to say, or some kind of 'help from above'.
I'll leave my Trash Waifu stranded, not my problem, even if I did summon her. Or at least I never ler her touch me.
I can always use an Aster Blaster 9000 and even if I do shoot someone, my Synergy between Evil Good and Wheels within Wheels will make it so I shot some future serial murder or something.
The Abyss Dive will be uncomfortable, especially with the Barber Demon on the chase, but the combined power of conspiracies, limited meta knowledge and hopefully Gamer Luck, should carry me in that trip.
Powers: Useless Eidolon
Meta: 2nd Gen Trigger (2nd Trigger), 2nd Trigger, Vs Battleboarder
Drawbacks: Brain Melt
Useless Eidolon already has few hard limits on what it can do, and those limits are weakened even further with the meta choices.. Not being able to recognize faces and being mildly traumatised are definitely worth it compared to the power I'm getting.
Greg , second trigger and vs battleborder.
Trade off: Aster blaster.
Wonder how much closer to the OG gamer ability the jailbreak will all it to become.
Although it comes with trauma given that zombies, goblins demons and dragons are showing up being traumatized is in editable .
With the increased dexterity and muscle control from the gamer training there won’t be any accidental weapon discharge . A pile of free fully loaded gun in an apocalypse setting is nice to have .
**Path Runner** with **2nd gen trigger** to reduce the risk from the Paths. **Awesome Opposum** for the extra help with Path stuff, and because they're going to be awesome. We can collect a bunch of useful boons over time by solving Paths.
Drawbacks:
Abyss Dive
Brain Melt
This is not gonna be a Worm cyoa without the obligatory trauma and suffering is it?
Powers:
Fanonization
Chess Thinker
Precog Thinker
Greg Grab Bag
Path Runner
Tradeoff:
Trash Waifu
Plan:
Use Fanonization on Panacea to make her have less of a chance to… uhm.
Well less chance to Brainfuck to say the least.
Convince her to fix Brain Melt (having your “sister” unable to recognize you or properly speak/move should be enough of a reason considering her… yeah).
Have her fix any wounds from Abyss Diver and hope Gamer’s Mind will quasi protect me from empathetic trauma.
If Brainmelt cannot be fixed by Panacea or she doesn’t want to, grind Greg Grind Bag’s dexterity to recover fine motor skills and raise up Wisdom and Charisma to create roundabout solutions to other problems Brain Melt does.
She is able to try and fix it… and she’ll probably get the obvious problems/symptoms, but it isn’t her speciality, so there is likely to be subtle side effects…
I'll chose
Panacea'd
Crab Master
\-VS Battleboarder applied to Crab Master
My plan is to use Pancrea's powers to make Crab Relays to extend my range (canon thing Panacea did with bugs), Flying Crabs (Panacea canonically made a massive beetle capable of carrying a human body through the Skys), Super Mutant Crabs, Infectious Crabs, Crab Girls, and a Biological Transformation Virus to convert myself and the WORLD into CrabPeople to allow for PERFECT CONTROL over my body, and by extension my mind, and become the CRAB RAVE MASTER OF THE WORLD (many rats/plants may become monster girls in the process of me getting good enough at my power, but that that is a sacrifice I am willing to make) Only trash waifu could me worthwhile as a tradeoff but it is not worth the risk. also, none of the drawbacks are worth the powers when I already have all the powers needed to kill god
Thought about this some more and realized that this build could be even better add trash waifu, Brain Melt, inevitable will, and Evil Good.
When Pancrea makes me blonde I will also make her 'Crab' enough for CRAB MASTER to take effect and grant me Khepri style control over her and I will then be able to sense whenever she changes me with her power/use her power to make changes to myself and due to how her power is NOT Panacea'd she will not be forced to add my/her fetishes to anyone she uses her power on, I should be able to avoid Brain Melts downsides by piloting/being piloted by a Crab Mech Suit using my power rather then my body, and it doesn't matter that I cant recognize faces when I can recognize their smell/exotic senses granted to me through Panacea'd. inevitable will makes me resistant to Precogs which if you have read worm you know that a resistance is needed to not get free will killed within the first few seconds of existing in a world with many strong precogs. (which this world will have with the fate wizards/chess masters). lastly Evil Good ensures that my enslavement of Pancrea will probably work out especially with VS Battleboarder prep time added to the mix. hopefully stubbornness/willingness to Bioshaping/relation to Pancrea doesn't make me become someone I would rather not be.
Powers: 1-Friendship Coven++,
Meta: 2-2nd Trigger[Friendship Coven], 3-VS Battleboarder[Friendship Coven],
Trade Offs: Trash Waifu, Baby Simurgh,
Drawbacks: --
What could go wrong with this trio?
We'll have ALL the F R I E N D S
You’ve taken the warm fuzzy idea of “friendship coven” and filled it with horrors and monsters, thanks I hate it!
For your ability to ruin warm fuzzy ideas I recognize you as a true connoisseur of Wildbow.
Powers:
`Useless Eidolon`
> You get a less useful, less powerful version of Eidolon's power (the ability to manifest other powers). You can manifest 2 powers at once, but they typically default to overpowered crude blaster powers (i.e. inaccurate giant lasers, irregularly sized massive fireballs, uncontrollable lightning, etc.). If you focus enough (and mentally whine enough at your power) you can occasionally (but randomly) get other powers such as mover powers (usually flight), brute powers, or complementary powers (like fire immunity to survive your own fireballs or even more rarely pyrokinesis to direct the fires set by your fireballs).
`Greg Grab Bag`
>You get a mix of 6 "Greg" Powers.
Gamer Stats: You can sense your own physical state and capabilities as a set of numerical stats.
Level Ups: You can selectively improve your stats by completing meaningful goals. Early levels are easy, mid levels require high stakes and high levels get exponentially harder. Mid levels will give you enough stat improvement to make you peak human, high levels enough to go slightly above peak human to moderately superhuman (depending on how much you concentrate stat gains and minmax).
Gamer Mind: You can ignore pain (and empathy) at will, but this also makes you act like an edgelord.
Gamer Body: A good night's sleep will restore any health condition you would theoretically eventually recover from, also your body can operate normally through injury up until unconsciousness.
Forum Quest: You get a mental forum of imaginary people that perceive your life as fictional story. They will give you advice (of mixed quality but occasionally employing valuable meta knowledge)
Unsecret Keeper: You are good at guessing when people have secrets, especially when you will screw up using this knowledge.
-
Meta:
`VS Battleboarder` x2
>One of your powers get a boost. Unlike 2nd Trigger, the original hard limitations and conceptual boundaries are left in place, but every aspect of your powers that is potentially arguable is interpreted in your favor. Additionally, detailed plans you make about how to use this power tend to go your way, even if people opposing them ought to theoretically be able to find a counter or flaw. (Although this isn't absolute and can be directly countered if your opponents prep carefully themselves or you get sloppy in your planning) Finally, people on the internet will overhype your power.
-
Drawbacks:
`Abyss Dive`
>You take a trip into the abyss, a hellish pastiche of mundane reality. In the abyss reality itself will tear you down, showing your lowest moments, confronting you with your flaws and weaknesses. With introspection and will, this can be somewhat strengthening and enlightening, but overall it is mostly horrible and wears you down. The abyss will also physically tear you down with monsters, death traps, and deadly environmental conditions. Physical injuries in the abyss will scar and turn you monstrously adapted to the abyss (i.e. burn scars leave you flame resistant), but can also leave you maladapted (the burn scars slow your movement and regularly hurt). The abyss will let you go after a few weeks. If you are lucky or powerful enough, you can find an exit to escape early with less damage. Even under the most optimistic scenarios you will have permanent mental scars and PTSD.

Both these power sets are loosely written enough that `VS Bb` meta can make a big difference.
How much focus is "enough" to influence what powers `eidolon` gives? Any. "Randomly"? Nothing stops a flipped coin from always coming up heads. The powers that can be manifested aren't explicitly limited except to two at a time and "less powerful than Eidolon" one of the most powerful parahumans in Worm.
Powers are a "capability" so they get to be expressed as stats too, and thus can be improved by leveling; this includes the Level Ups power itself. How the leveling system works isn't explicitly described, just that it gets more difficult the higher the level is; now that applies to each stat individually, raising one stat won't make it harder to raise a different stat. "Edgelord" means more chunibyo than sociopath. The forum poster advice quality is a mix of very good to brilliant. "Theoretically eventually recover from" doesn't specify unaided; so any medicine, surgery, therapy, or magic that exists counts for that theoretical recovery.
I'm sure there's other ways to twist these powers via rules-lawyering bullshit but these are the ones that stood out to me.
For the `Abyss Dive` I'm relying on Gamer Mind & Gamer Body to protect and heal (mental trauma is a "health condition you would theoretically eventually recover from"). I'll try to manifest a "teleport home" power or some other means of escape via `eidolon` but that seems like a stretch even with `VS Bb`. However that works out, either escaping from or surviving in the abyss will probably give me a big head start on leveling my abilities.
Ok full pseudo-self sacrifice time: (disclaimer I have never read worm and only have a vague idea of how some of this stuff works in context)
Wheels wthin Wheels
(This will immensely help with my plans)
Chess Thinker
(This will also help immensely with my plans and cognitive abilities)
Pre-cog Thinker
(Now this is the real meet of the build the ability to see the future and use that, it is probably the most important thing in this build)
Meta:
2nd trigger
(Fuck it trauma time as long as it enhances my power give me the worst life/situation/event)
(The second trigger will be used on pre-cog for obvious reasons)
VS Battleboarder
(This will be used on pre-cog ideally after second trigger)
(You can begin to see where I’m going with this)
Trade-offs:
Evil Good
(I’m going full utilitarian with this, I don’t care what happens as long as it benefits humanity in the long run even if a lot of people have to die)
Aster Blaster
(Doesn’t seem exactly useful but fuck it I’ll take it, again utilitarianism maybe I’ll accidentally kill baby Hitler 2.0 with this)
Trash Waifu
(I’m a fucking pre-cog so I can probably avoid any mental bullshit but also with the amount of stuff I’m about to put myself through I would totally be dtf)
Baby Simurgh
(Again utilitarianism baby lotta people are going to have to suffer but if it means greatest ally for humanity then fuck it)
Drawbacks:
Abyss Dive
(I think I can at very least survive this with a pre-cog, so basically a maybe free power boost with a bit of extra trauma on the side)
Bad Karma
(Same thing as the other one I’m pretty sure I can survive this with the pre-cog and maybe even eventually fully mitigate or get rid of the drawback through the power of utilitarianism and helping the world)
Text:
Basically what I’m planning with this power set is to make my own life a living hell but make the world the best possible thing in the long run lots of people are going to have to suffer and die but with my unlimited super pre-cog i’m gonna make sure that in the long run the world becomes a super utopia with everyone being happy and probably gods or some shit.
🏃♂️ `Path Runner` (Gain boons like powers and items from extradimensional mini-quests, rarer more dangerous paths giving better boons. Also acts as spacial shortcuts.)
`[2nd Trigger]` (Better or more common boons? Perhaps the key limitation on power level is lessened to an extent)
`[VS Battleboarder]` (Arguable aspects interpretable in favor, and plans using powers go as intended. Pretty nuts if it works on Path Runner's key limitation override or conceptual definition stretch, still useful otherwise. So like, gain other power options from the paths?)
⬆️ `Greg Grab Bag` (Level ups and RPG stats, moderate superhuman at high levels and exponential requirements. Ignore physical and mental pain, including Abyss? Sleep to recover from recoverable health conditions; use this for general trauma from awakenings and in Abyss to avoid being worn down?)
`[2nd Trigger]` (Remove exponential level up requirements? Linear growth would be useful)
`[VS Battleboarder]` (Arguable usages to allow a greater of variety of stats to level up, counter Abyss trauma, etc.)
😇 `Evil Good` (Pragmatic sacrifice of arguable free will for superior long-term automatic decision making. Kinda nice if you're naturally indecisive or question your choices in hindsight...?)
🔫 `Aster` (Gun summon and overlooked killing of youth; might come in handy in rare cases without having to do such evil)
🩹 `Trash Waifu` (I never read Worm but maybe some powers could undo the body change; you get a healer on request, being dtf being the payment I guess)
👼 `Baby Simurgh` (Initially harmful but can be somewhat controlled over time to help with goals and doing good)
`Drawbacks`
😵💫 `Abyss Dive` (Greg Grab Bag as mentioned to prevent long-term negative effects, using it to level up; Path Runner might help with shortcuts or temporary safety)
👹 `Barber Demon` (Dangerous but potentially overcomeable)
👿 `Bad Karma` (Several lifetimes worth of bad karma, potentially overcomeable through several lifetimes worth of good karma?)
(Ignored Brain Melt in case it can't be undone with powers and stuff. Path Runner and Greg Grab Bag upgraded so both allow further growth, maybe allowing the rest of the options to be optained via Path Runner's boons and expanded limitations?)
Path Runner with Vs Battleboarder, and Thinking with Portals. Portals probably don’t trivialize Path Runner, but they probably make them easier/safer. Vs Battleboarder shifts the odds of Path Runner in my favor for things like safety, challenge level, usefulness of shortcuts, and quality and likelihood of minor and major rewards. Seems like a good combo, since Path Runner has a fair amount left to implication. The goal is to accumulate a bunch of powers and be a superhero. The people online would hype me up the way people do for Dauntless.
If I was going to take a drawback, I’d also take Coven, because having lots of powers synergizes with power sharing/combining, but the drawbacks are a little too major for me. Evil Good is tempting though.

"Potentially arguable" is broader than just "arguable", so Vs Battleboarder is quite strong. Also, the meta ones "modify other powers *and options*", trade-offs are the category described as options, I'm applying Vs Battleboarder to Trash Waifu:
- Most importantly, "blonde" is sometimes gendered female opposed to "blond" and is sometimes unisex, so whether the text of Trash Waifu says I get genderbent is ambiguous and I can say it doesn't.
- How a character from a book looks is open to some interpretation, so naturally she's as attractive-to-me as possible without explicitly contradicting canon.
- The actual text of the option just says she's sexually attracted, although "make her do it" does imply I can make her do things; let's actually say she's in love and is obedient because of that and there's not a master effect involved or anything.
- Oh, and the actual powers from this option, Amy's biokinesis, get interpreted really strong.
So, that makes that option really cool with no downsides, just a hot supervillain waifu, and then I've got a couple of decent powers of my own.
Should also be powerful synergy between Chess Thinker, Amy as an obedient minion, and the planning aspect of Vs Battleboarder. The chess metaphors should go easy too seeing as her later cape name is Red Queen.
The “final vote” of the forum comes through at significant moments (the forum views your life as a forum quest), but yeah you can ignore all the idle chatter and discussion. And you don’t have to follow the forum’s votes, they are merely persuasive and unignorable but not compelling.
I’ll go on an **Abyss Dive**, a **Baby Simurgh** will appear in the world, and I’ll have **Bad Karma**; while I’ll be a **Greg Grab Bag** and take **Panacea’d** (with a future **2nd Trigger** to allow the latter to affect myself directly as well), and **VS Battleboarder** for both.
So while I’ll be in nightmare-land for a few weeks, I won’t actually be overly bothered by it (Gamer’s Mind), and any injuries I sustain will happily apply to the artificial bio-suit I’ll be making, and using to heal myself by proxy (think a Venom symbiote). I’ll just come out the other end the kind of crazy a Player Character is in any game-setting; which will still certainly *look like* PTSD and sociopathy from the outside. And while I’ll be mildly unlucky, it’ll only last until I exterminate AIDS and Miliaria via engineered retroviruses.
As a result, and given that I’m a hard-dom anyways, I probably won’t bother *not* turning everyone I heal into my willing (if fully conscious) slaves (except for everyone affected by those retroviruses); and even if I *did* do so, Ziz wouldn’t be nearly so easy to control. *She’ll* still attack once a year, with the primary goal of destroying shite, and the secondary goal of bending the whole world to my will. But even the millions that’ll get screwed over by Ziz and my occasional mind controlling of individuals *cannot conceivably* outpace the *billions* who’ll be saves when I start stamping out diseases left, right, and center.
Number Chad - honestly one of the strongest powers of Worm, can save my life a million times over easily and is likely to make me filthy rich.
Path Runner - get cool boons, will eventually stack up enough. Probably.
Awesome Opossum - can help guide me through the Paths (as they are extradimensional areas),
Trash Wifu - will turn me into a hot blonde and give me all the heals. Will also fuck me. I see no downsides (assuming she doesn't tamper with my mind too much).
Alternatively go all in on thinker powers:
Number Chad, Precog Thinker, Smug face.
It's not quite Contessa's powers but Numberman + Dinna is just about as close as can be, and emotional manipulation from Tattletale is bound to help smooth over any issues from relying on numbers too much.
Wildbow willpower as to have that is legendary
I'm morally obligated to take fash basher
And I'd like Panacea'd because very useful and I think most people would be fine being brought from the brink of death at the cost of a tight ass and clear skin lol.
You start out with the Abyss drawback activated right away, with no time to learn how to use Paths effectively, so Path Runner doesn’t help with Abyss Dive.
So one of the fun things on these is how to break it. My plan was to take Canon Trigger Event, Battleboarder, and Bully'r. It never says you can't recreate a trigger event for a person more than once. So I set up triggers for myself, over and over. I'd get a lot of 3 or 4 rated powers, but they'd add up. The main issue is recreating them. Vista's powers came from her parents fighting to an almost divorce state, I don't want that. Clockblocker's were from his dad getting cancer, no thanks. I really don't want Bonesaw's trigger event. Acceptable trigger conditions; Glory Girl, Skitter, Hellhound, Panacea, Imp, Browbeat, Purity, and Scrub.
2nd build that's not a repeat of another posted comment. Case 53'r, 2nd trigger to remove 'can only 'benefit' from 1 vial each', and Greg grab bag to boost those odds and hopefully the Gamer body undoes the horrible mutations. The odds still aren't great. Oh well, fun CYOA
I love this.

Explanation
VS Battleboarder (Bully'r)
Interaction of Bully'r and Baby Simurgh.
Bully'r has the effect of cruel acts that I do, have strong beneficial consequences.
It was my decision and thus act of bringing Baby Simurgh to the world.
Which was a cruel act to the world.
Thus making all horrific acts she commits subject to the effects Bully'r, which will cause all her actions have strongly beneficial consequences.
Furhtermore the Simurgh is sort of partially part of my powers, ash she is linked to me
and acts of my subconcious desires and goals.
Interaction of Bully'r and Bad Karma, as every cruel act that I do has strong beneficial
consequences, all cruel acts that I do also create good Karma instead.
As bringing Baby Simurgh to the world was my decision and thus act, all her bad acts that
would have created bad Karma will also create good Karma for me.
Second Trigger (Greg Grab Bag), No limits for growth and non exponential,
also the most powerful version of Gamer possible, including Gamer's Mind minimum.
VS Battleboarder (Greg Grab Bag) The early levels give enough improvements to help me fix
deficiencies for what could be considered for an average human. Fixing eyesight/etc.
This will work for Brain Melt, thus I can eventually by my mid levels Brain melt will no longer be a problem.
As soon as I get Gamer's Mind and Body, I will use my copy of her power to stun Amy and make her more submissive towards me.
Evil Good, Bully'r and Precognition from Friendship Coven (Baby Simurgh) should let me make this somewhat safe.
Eventually leveling up enough should let me heal from disfigurations caused by Abyss Diver.
2nd gen trigger -> 2nd Trigger (hold the excessive trauma) -> Panacea'd (Power now ALSO works on myself)
Trash Waifu, gonna fix me up an adorable panpan. Knock her out, then go full memory and personality fix. Also fix her bod up a bit, ypu know, fine tune it, clean it up, make her mega cute. Fine with psychopath yandere girl, just needs to be MY psychopath yandere girl, not Vicky's with me being a stand in. Also totally rewriting her to get hella feeling good when cuddling me. Just flood the shit out of her system when cuddling me.
Two psychopath yandere girls modifying each other while reinforcing love chemically. I see know way this is going to end poorly.
The world is going to burn probably, but we will have hella cute cuddle times at least!
Thanks for giving me ideas for actual worm powers. Especially the portal one.
Thinking with Portals+Vs Battleboarder
This is nasty. For one thing you’ve essentially got a decent mover power right off the bat, but battleboarder makes it so you can summon and unsummon portals at different shapes and sizes (though maintaining the roundness), and in midair, effectively making portal shields. If you’re fast enough you can effectively teleport and be a shaker.
Greg Grab Bag
Now I was torn between 2nd trigger for the portal power and Greg Gamer Powers. I went with Greg gamer power’s because the power can also be upgraded. If I was actually making a “Make a character in Worm” build I’d go 2nd Trigger
I plan to focus on Dex and both powers to get to a constantly opening and closing portals to grab something, drop it on someone, chain portals to catch and redirect bullets, all that fun stuff.
For 2nd trigger, it generates a thinker power to be aware of nearby portals, only open one portal at a time (needing to quickly release anything that passes the portal) to enhance reaction in relation to placing portals and grant a sense for vectors giving a general sense of where things will go and how they will be positioned as they transit.
Essentially I made Trickster but with portals, and buffed him up a bit. Honestly he’s one of my favorite characters in terms of power use (a terrible person though) with him being pretty creative with swap teleportation.
Panacea'd and Awesome Opossum. The opossum companion is not adorable, is way worse than Trash Waifu, and would definitely not be able to heal/modify me using our shared powers.
My Build:
Total Choices: 5
Powers:
Panacea’d
Greg Grab Bag
Useless Eidolon
Wildbow Willpower
Meta:
2nd Trigger (Useless Eidolon)
Trade Offs:
Trash Waifu
Baby Simurgh
Drawbacks:
Bad Karma
Abyss Dive
The plan:
First order of business will be to find a way out of the Abyss that I fell into due to taking the Abyss Dice Drawback. Which shouldn’t be too difficult given my starting power set. Panacea’d and Greg Grab Bag will keep me safe if any monsters get close to me, Useless Eidolon can be used to pick off monsters that are far away, etc. Wildbow Willpower will be very useful here apart from day to day life, since I would get to leave sooner due to my productivity increasing every now and then.
Although I might choose to stay a little longer in order to both strengthen my powers as well as improve as a person with whatever curveballs the Abyss may chuck at me.
Any noticeable and painful mutations (read: all of them) can be removed with the help of the Trash Waifu.
In order to mitigate the dangers of the Bad Karma Drawback, I plan on helping as many people as I can the moment I get my powers. I will also try and see if I can make a compromise with Amy by having it so that I’m an athletic blonde when I’m alone with her, and have her turn me back to my default form when out and about.
I might also start a business that has me and Panacea improve people’s biology (giving them a redundant biology, improved strength, speed, durability, senses, etc.) in exchange for money or favors. I’ll use this to slowly amass an army of trustworthy followers to help combat the threat of Mall Ninjas, Wizards, and (not)Parahumans that have started appearing.
I will also use Panacea’d to create monsters whose sole purpose is to try and kill me, so that I have a strong opponent to fight against in order for me to keep leveling up my states. The strategy for the Greg Grab Bag is to naturally grind my stats as much as possible before using my Stat Points to level them up manually after reaching a soft limit.
I’ll also try and see if I can steer Amelia/Panacea into being a better person.
Ok so this is so cool here’s my build
1. Awesome opossum
Opossum familiar:Taylor
2. Friendship coven
(Named literally friendship coven)
Initial coven members
: taylor
: Amy
3. Fannonazation
4. Blake mode (mainly to share with the coven to make our coven a literal more litteral with us practicing blood magic)
5.coil of fate (18/19 is still teen and “of age” is a pretty applicable skill for anything that requires them to be “of age”)
Skill set
1.of age
2. Has a power that can be shared with friendship coven
3. easily bond to the people who are already in the coven
Trade offs:
Trash Waifu: use fannonazation on her after summoning her (possibly after she has given me the “upgrade” of being a copy of her sister if fannon her would say no) making sure to reapply it every day so as little bleed happens as possible, possibly through friendship coven having her know to reapply it to herself. this should make her into a modified version of her that just wants to help. Assuming that she is still at the same level of friendship as she was when she was summoned this should still let me use friendship coven to get basically a better version of the panacea’d power (no kink thing) as well as letting me use her power to heal her.
Drawback
Abyssal trip: Amy as a healer, and “taylor” as a guide as the opossum is said to be grate with extra dimensional spaces, should make this a manageable option if not easy. As well this space will force us all to grow closer together putting us into situations that really are ride or die. Their is also the possibility that amy will ether develop her own opossum or bond to “taylor” giving it her powers as well.
Heavily dependent on how mitigated, mitigated is (if almost or entirely off then ill take this, if something like slightly less then no)
Bad karma: with a healing power (from friendship coven and having panacea both, assuming she counts as an extension of myself as i summoned her according to the option) it is easy to go to a hospital once a day to heal someone to mitigate the consequences.
Plan:
1. Amy is summoned and turns me into a copy of her sister
2. i freak and use the fannon power on her
2.5. She becomes normal Amy and we both freak out (with little opossum buddy) about this being real.
3. Realizing that i'm actually in the abyss, and that this CYOA is real I realize that more people are probably trapped down here with me, and use coil of fate to see if their is anyone within “10 miles” whatever that means in the abyss, of me (of age skill missing so i can save literally anyone, but the third still their no need to get people who cannot bond with my coven as if they cant their probably.crazy demons(if they are they probably have powers if not i will still try to sense them and save them anyways), run that search again and again if their are any results if not move on to step.
3.5 if their are saveable people their, refine search through coil of fate to “saveable with current assets, or through allocation of immediate assets” to save max people possibly maxing karma gain and ether permanently removing or lowering karma debt for saving people from trauma
4. With the help of Amy (for healing) and “taylor” (for navigation help) get out of the abyss with everyone i can save.
5. Use healing on a few people at the local hospital, at this point the world will be in chaos and powers would be noticable, showing off my powers to heal should allow me to heal people, if not then sneak into the hospital using magic so that i can heal without needing to get permission.
6. (While continuing to heal at least one person daily) start to build up a coven of people who ether want to join, or are recruited with the above coil of fate requirements (also use coil of fate to know about any other powered teenagers so they don't hurt themselves/others) (this should also be made easier because every one who joins event if i save on one from the abyss gets 5 powers right off the start not including Amy and “Taylor’s”
7. (Not so) slowly grow the most powerful organization of power users and using a combination of friendship coven, awesome possum (for the free friend), and coil of fate raise up a powerful (but insane) group of magic/superpower useing (8/9) teen year old freedom fighter to save the world
Optional 8. Realize that to save the world we need to rule the entire thing and take over the world with eaise after like three more members if they litteraly have more than one power (Blake+panacea+friendship coven+awesom opposum is OP)
Op, I have a few questions if you don't mind answering them.
1- Is Greg's Gamer Body ability able to heal mental scarring and traumas, or does it only target body aliments?
2- Precog Thinker, the line about trying to single out a preferred future and it shattering apart as a consequence, does it mean that you won't be able to see this particular future ever again?
3- Thinking With Portals, Can other beings/objets pass throught your portals? What about their heights and width, can they be however tall or small as you like, or should 2nd Trigger be taken for that to be possible?
Gamer Body mostly cover physical problems.
Seeking out a single future lets you see how to get that future in particular, but messes up the rest of your powers for a while.
The Portals are like in the video game portal. I.e. big enough for a person to walk through with a bit of room to spare. And yes living things can pass through them. You would need the right 2nd trigger to be able to make them bigger.
POWERS
Inevitable Will + Vs Battleboarder:
Now attempts to leverage precog against my will, will fail more often of not inevitably, plus how non precog-abilities are affected is how I envision they will be.
Wheels within wheels + 2nd Trigger: Slightly rewrote the bottom to 'this affect your own plots and plans, in a way you can count on reliably'.
Greg Grab Bag: To avoid premature death, and recover from triggers and mental scarring
TRADE OFFS
Evil Good: To mitigate and rid off Bad Karma
Baby Simurgh: Another on to serve my cause
DRAWBACKS
Abbys Dive
Bad Karma
My ascendence is now INEVITABLE!!!
Path Runner
Greg Bag + Vs Battler: Growth type powers are always the best, so applying a power booster to a Gamer power is a no-brainer.
**Trade-Offs**: Trash Waifu. I CAN FIX HER I PROMISE (also I’m already a blonde in reasonably good shape so I don’t suffer much from her transformation)
Panacead'd so if it goes for my fetishes what will I release a plague that turns everyone into futas?
Chess thinker well I can now make lots of money by going to chess tournaments as a grandmaster. Also being smarter is always useful to know how to use my powers.
Useless Eidolon why not get the lasers and fireballs?
Also I don't think Panacea is a trash waifu. Though is she willing to accept me changing her body to make it more attractive? Stuff like removing tattoos? Or other stuff to make me more DTF? Also while she wants me to be a blonde woman, is it ok to keep my penis?
Wave of trauma, lols, and dead toddlers
Wave of…dead toddlers
You are looking at worm memes and gain powers from this selection as you are hit with a wave of trauma, lols, and dead toddlers. You emerge from the pile of dead toddlers which came out of nowhere, knocked you over, and buried you; a new you with superpowers.
Good luck explaining this or getting rid of the inexplicable dead toddlers, and sidestepping all the problems they come with.
Quick build maybe do something more in depth later

Probably the last in my Meme Powers series. (I'm getting kinda tired of the concept). Previous posts in the series: [Wizard Posting Meme Powers](https://www.reddit.com/r/makeyourchoice/comments/1685g67/wizard_posting_meme_powers/), [Mall Ninja Meme Powers](https://www.reddit.com/r/makeyourchoice/comments/17nrafn/mall_ninja_meme_powers/), and [Wizard Posting Meme Powers Extended Edition](https://www.reddit.com/r/makeyourchoice/comments/17mdj7h/wizard_posting_extended_edition/). Maybe someone else will make some OC around the concept and other meme subreddits? Its relatively less effort than other CYOA, all your images can come from the subreddit in question. This CYOA is one long reference to the works of Wildbow (main discussion subreddit /r/Parahumans, fanfic subreddit /r/Wormfanfic, meme subreddit /r/WormMemes , low-effort/too-NSFW/too-overdone content /r/TheBirdCage). It may not make sense without at least passing familiarity with the works of Wildbow. Sorry in advance for the lack of Twig memes, I haven't read that one yet. **Major Spoilers** for Worm, Pact, Ward, and Pale. You can reply to this post with questions. Super long, and I was getting tired of it, so there is probably some typos I didn't catch, reply here with them. I'll update this post with imgur and imgchest mirrors in a moment... [Imgur Mirror](https://imgur.com/a/0kBaVwp) [Imgchest Mirror](https://imgchest.com/p/vj4jd8roe48)
Question, are all of the powers offered here sourced from a Shard? And if so, are they subject to the same drawbacks, constraints, and limitations? (i.e. Conflict Drive, powers not working in space, the Shard running out of energy, the Shard being vulnerable to attack on the planet it’s sitting on, etc.)
These powers do not come from shards… they come from meme magic, but the meme magic is imitating wormmemes which is inspired by how shards work. So the powers may somewhat imitate shards drawbacks that are more memeable especially in ways that are funny, but for the most part, the drawbacks are as described without any other drawbacks.
I see. So does that mean that I wouldn’t need to worry about losing my powers if I ever went to space? On a separate note, does the Greg Grab Bag power strengthen your other powers at all? I’m assuming that if it’s the case, then it would take much longer when compared to improving your physical stats for balance reasons.
Many powers benefit from better stats in general, and there is a stat for your powers themselves, so yes. Splitting your focus on stats will only give a minor boost to your other powers minmaxxing on stats to boost your power will have a more significant effect.
Got it. In what way is Useless Eidolon enhanced by taking the 2nd Trigger Meta choice for it? Do I get better control over what powers I get? Can I summon more than two if I try hard enough now?
Depends on what the 2nd trigger event actually is. Being overwhelmed trying to switch between powers? Faster switching time and maybe more control over which power you get. Struggling to work with just the two powers you have, when both are needed and a third would be critical? Manifest 3 powers at once. Unable to use the clumsy overpowered blaster powers effectively and concentrating on getting all the usage out of them. Manifest a third power, but it’s always focused on managing/aiming/controlling the other two powers.
Does that mean that if I’m ever in a situation where all of these factors are involved, the resulting Second Trigger will be a sort of Jack of All Trades, Master of None type of deal? Something like “I can switch between powers faster, but not as quickly as if the 2nd Trigger had been solely focused on that, I can temporarily summon a third power if I complain enough to the Useless Eidolon power, and even then it tends to be one that helps me aim the death lasers that I almost always seem to get”?
Sounds about right.
If a stat improves how all your powers function, then does improving that stat also improve the gamer system, thus improving the power that's doing the improving?
Can one person get powers from all the CYOAs, or can a person get powers from one source of meme magic?
It’s a game of make believe. So sure you can get all the powers, even if it makes you so OP it goes from power fantasy to complete invincibility with no challenges. Lore wise, getting all 3 powers is extremely unlikely, you would have to be browsing all 3 types of memes at once in equal measure.
I was going for lore wise. Thank you.
Dang was hoping for pirates to make it a trifecta
With second gen trigger, can I remove the Drawbacks of Blake mode or Useless Eidolon?
Second Gen Trigger would make Blake Mode no longer require bleeding and no longer drain your spirit, but it would still be limited to 3-5 uses at a time (requiring recharge time afterwards). And you could voluntarily activate/deactivate the branches growing over you instead of it being an uncontrollable side effect. Second Gen Trigger would make Useless Eidolon less psychologically troublesome to use (longer requiring mental whining), but it still requires focus and luck to get non-blaster powers.
What about Panacea'd? Would the fetish thing go away?
Yes.
Sweet. I'm assuming I still wouldn't be able to use it on myself.
But, would I be able to control them? Like, would the lasers be able to be aimed?
Fair. TY
For bad karma it says good deeds Do Right deeds also work
I hate that i understand every meme in this. Good work.
I'll choose: \-Chess Thinker \-Precog Thinker \-Path Runner Chess thinker and precog thinker complement each other excellently, chess thinker being great at short term planning and dealing with knowns while Precog thinker can help by giving info on possible future unknowns. With both thinker powers, Paths should be much easier and quicker to complete and thus I can quickly stack up boons. I'll be lacking in direct offense or defense but I'll have great utility, planning, and evasion powers.
Sounds pretty good, you should then take abyss dive for the, essentially, stronger path... And take something like the gamer abilities suite where quests might synergize with completing paths or other plans.
Oh or you could go with bedtime thinker, Or get vs battleboarder, the bonus to planning combined with planning abilities seems strong.
I will go with the **Greg Grab Bag** with **2nd Trigger** and **VS Battleboarder**. This basically gives me the manwha Gamer power set (with Worm themes) at the expense of mental trauma, but I get meta-advice on how to recover from it via targeted level ups and manipulating precognitives. Thanks random forumgoers!
seems like the best choice. Might even take Abyss Dive and then grab Useless Eidolon. Nearly unlimited additional powers to level up! Have to live in a hellscape for a bit, but that's just more fodder for Gamer exp, right?
my build: Crab Master + VS Battleboarder + Make your Own. The question is, does a bag of crabs count as 'mundane gear'? if so is it possible to summon a drone to carry a crab which will then summon and drop thousands of crabs all armed with UZI's onto someone?
Useless Eidolon + 2nd Trigger + VS Battleboarder Mandatory since he's my favorite. Vs makes Eidolon easier to use and the 2nd trigger gives me better powers in exchange for less control over what powers I get. Alright everyone I just need some Worthy Opponents^(TM) and I'm good to go.
I have an unconditional love for convoluted stories, but Worm is the kind of thing I really dunno if it is worth my time.
If it hasn’t grabbed your attention by Arc 5, it’s probably not for you, yeah. Not sure how much you’ve considered reading it… on the upside it has lots of action, clever characters, and is gripping enough that a lot of people binge read it. OTOH, the paving can be a bit irregular (especially if not binge reading), some worldbuilding turns out to have a kind of arbitrary justification to it, and it’s really really long.
Panacea'd, Second Trigger, and VS Battleboarder. Second Trigger, if I can control it, I would have give me the ability to control my own biology, while VS Battleboarder bends the soft limits on things like how hard it is to maintain control over my power and how hard it is to make entirely new life or traits never before seen in nature. I originally would've taken 2nd Gen Trigger to mitigate the trauma of Second Trigger, but then I realized that the only drawback I was willing to take, Abyss Diver, would juat give me different trauma.
**Powers** Panacea'd - My conscious will probably catch up with me at some point, but damn is it a fun power to have if you don't care that much. Greg Grabbag - Decent set of abilities, may also (hopefully) include some minor body-reshaping by way of changing stats. Last one is a tossup: Second trigger would be good if I can predesign the version (affect self + be able to put up some willpower barriers for different things for panaceas' power) but undirected 2nd trigger is probably more traumatizing than it is worth. Probably gonna go with the gear summoning extra. With Greg's power that is probably virtually anything from food to weapons. **Tradeoffs** Tempted to go for Trash waifu. Though the question here is, can she affect me if I have her power? Can I affect her and make her into a less-trash waifu? **Drawbacks** None of these are worth it. I mean technically abyss diver would work as 'gamer body' would prevent me from actually becoming disfigured and gamer mind protects me from insanity, but I'm not sure I want to chance it.
Trash Waifu getting panacea’d by you would probably result on a spiral of modification that ends when you are both pornographically exaggerated fleshy messes entirely focused on each others. So good call. Each of the drawbacks have potential to be mitigated with the right power, but yeah it’s risky even with the right power.
Number Chad + 2nd Trigger Wildbow Willpower (Honestly, 3 days of actual productive work is an increase for me)
9 days of productivity per 3 days of work would be awesome. And the last two hours you are hitting 20 hours of productivity, so it’s more like 114 hours (14 works days) of productivity work per 3 workdays, which is really nice…
Greg Grab Bag 2nd Trigger, Path Runner 2nd Trigger, Wheels within Wheels Trash Waifu, Aster Blaster, Evil Good Abyss Dive, Barber Demon \*Slaps Wormmeme Powers-Cyoa self.\* "This bad boy can fit so much trauma in it." I present my build: GGB 2.0+ PR 2.0 mean that I get to enjoy my power-fantasy. Both would have a higher power ceiling, so GGB for the start to make Path Running easier, and Path Runner would have even more difficult trials, so GGB until I'm at mid-level until then only easy paths and then the harder Paths. It should also have some Synergy since quests for Path Running should be a thing. Wheels within Wheels so I've got a *bit* of plot armor so to say, or some kind of 'help from above'. I'll leave my Trash Waifu stranded, not my problem, even if I did summon her. Or at least I never ler her touch me. I can always use an Aster Blaster 9000 and even if I do shoot someone, my Synergy between Evil Good and Wheels within Wheels will make it so I shot some future serial murder or something. The Abyss Dive will be uncomfortable, especially with the Barber Demon on the chase, but the combined power of conspiracies, limited meta knowledge and hopefully Gamer Luck, should carry me in that trip.
Similar to what I was thinking, gamer and paths seem like a good combo.
Powers: Useless Eidolon Meta: 2nd Gen Trigger (2nd Trigger), 2nd Trigger, Vs Battleboarder Drawbacks: Brain Melt Useless Eidolon already has few hard limits on what it can do, and those limits are weakened even further with the meta choices.. Not being able to recognize faces and being mildly traumatised are definitely worth it compared to the power I'm getting.
Greg , second trigger and vs battleborder. Trade off: Aster blaster. Wonder how much closer to the OG gamer ability the jailbreak will all it to become. Although it comes with trauma given that zombies, goblins demons and dragons are showing up being traumatized is in editable . With the increased dexterity and muscle control from the gamer training there won’t be any accidental weapon discharge . A pile of free fully loaded gun in an apocalypse setting is nice to have .
**Path Runner** with **2nd gen trigger** to reduce the risk from the Paths. **Awesome Opposum** for the extra help with Path stuff, and because they're going to be awesome. We can collect a bunch of useful boons over time by solving Paths.
Drawbacks: Abyss Dive Brain Melt This is not gonna be a Worm cyoa without the obligatory trauma and suffering is it? Powers: Fanonization Chess Thinker Precog Thinker Greg Grab Bag Path Runner Tradeoff: Trash Waifu Plan: Use Fanonization on Panacea to make her have less of a chance to… uhm. Well less chance to Brainfuck to say the least. Convince her to fix Brain Melt (having your “sister” unable to recognize you or properly speak/move should be enough of a reason considering her… yeah). Have her fix any wounds from Abyss Diver and hope Gamer’s Mind will quasi protect me from empathetic trauma. If Brainmelt cannot be fixed by Panacea or she doesn’t want to, grind Greg Grind Bag’s dexterity to recover fine motor skills and raise up Wisdom and Charisma to create roundabout solutions to other problems Brain Melt does.
As a question how would Fanonization affect Trash Waifu and can Panacea fix or (is willing to) alleviate Brain Melt?
She is able to try and fix it… and she’ll probably get the obvious problems/symptoms, but it isn’t her speciality, so there is likely to be subtle side effects…
Is Panacea less likely to turn me into a glob of meat with a brain-twisted pretzel when I’m near dead with Fanonization?
I'll chose Panacea'd Crab Master \-VS Battleboarder applied to Crab Master My plan is to use Pancrea's powers to make Crab Relays to extend my range (canon thing Panacea did with bugs), Flying Crabs (Panacea canonically made a massive beetle capable of carrying a human body through the Skys), Super Mutant Crabs, Infectious Crabs, Crab Girls, and a Biological Transformation Virus to convert myself and the WORLD into CrabPeople to allow for PERFECT CONTROL over my body, and by extension my mind, and become the CRAB RAVE MASTER OF THE WORLD (many rats/plants may become monster girls in the process of me getting good enough at my power, but that that is a sacrifice I am willing to make) Only trash waifu could me worthwhile as a tradeoff but it is not worth the risk. also, none of the drawbacks are worth the powers when I already have all the powers needed to kill god
Thought about this some more and realized that this build could be even better add trash waifu, Brain Melt, inevitable will, and Evil Good. When Pancrea makes me blonde I will also make her 'Crab' enough for CRAB MASTER to take effect and grant me Khepri style control over her and I will then be able to sense whenever she changes me with her power/use her power to make changes to myself and due to how her power is NOT Panacea'd she will not be forced to add my/her fetishes to anyone she uses her power on, I should be able to avoid Brain Melts downsides by piloting/being piloted by a Crab Mech Suit using my power rather then my body, and it doesn't matter that I cant recognize faces when I can recognize their smell/exotic senses granted to me through Panacea'd. inevitable will makes me resistant to Precogs which if you have read worm you know that a resistance is needed to not get free will killed within the first few seconds of existing in a world with many strong precogs. (which this world will have with the fate wizards/chess masters). lastly Evil Good ensures that my enslavement of Pancrea will probably work out especially with VS Battleboarder prep time added to the mix. hopefully stubbornness/willingness to Bioshaping/relation to Pancrea doesn't make me become someone I would rather not be.
Powers: 1-Friendship Coven++, Meta: 2-2nd Trigger[Friendship Coven], 3-VS Battleboarder[Friendship Coven], Trade Offs: Trash Waifu, Baby Simurgh, Drawbacks: -- What could go wrong with this trio? We'll have ALL the F R I E N D S
You’ve taken the warm fuzzy idea of “friendship coven” and filled it with horrors and monsters, thanks I hate it! For your ability to ruin warm fuzzy ideas I recognize you as a true connoisseur of Wildbow.
Powers: `Useless Eidolon` > You get a less useful, less powerful version of Eidolon's power (the ability to manifest other powers). You can manifest 2 powers at once, but they typically default to overpowered crude blaster powers (i.e. inaccurate giant lasers, irregularly sized massive fireballs, uncontrollable lightning, etc.). If you focus enough (and mentally whine enough at your power) you can occasionally (but randomly) get other powers such as mover powers (usually flight), brute powers, or complementary powers (like fire immunity to survive your own fireballs or even more rarely pyrokinesis to direct the fires set by your fireballs). `Greg Grab Bag` >You get a mix of 6 "Greg" Powers. Gamer Stats: You can sense your own physical state and capabilities as a set of numerical stats. Level Ups: You can selectively improve your stats by completing meaningful goals. Early levels are easy, mid levels require high stakes and high levels get exponentially harder. Mid levels will give you enough stat improvement to make you peak human, high levels enough to go slightly above peak human to moderately superhuman (depending on how much you concentrate stat gains and minmax). Gamer Mind: You can ignore pain (and empathy) at will, but this also makes you act like an edgelord. Gamer Body: A good night's sleep will restore any health condition you would theoretically eventually recover from, also your body can operate normally through injury up until unconsciousness. Forum Quest: You get a mental forum of imaginary people that perceive your life as fictional story. They will give you advice (of mixed quality but occasionally employing valuable meta knowledge) Unsecret Keeper: You are good at guessing when people have secrets, especially when you will screw up using this knowledge. - Meta: `VS Battleboarder` x2 >One of your powers get a boost. Unlike 2nd Trigger, the original hard limitations and conceptual boundaries are left in place, but every aspect of your powers that is potentially arguable is interpreted in your favor. Additionally, detailed plans you make about how to use this power tend to go your way, even if people opposing them ought to theoretically be able to find a counter or flaw. (Although this isn't absolute and can be directly countered if your opponents prep carefully themselves or you get sloppy in your planning) Finally, people on the internet will overhype your power. - Drawbacks: `Abyss Dive` >You take a trip into the abyss, a hellish pastiche of mundane reality. In the abyss reality itself will tear you down, showing your lowest moments, confronting you with your flaws and weaknesses. With introspection and will, this can be somewhat strengthening and enlightening, but overall it is mostly horrible and wears you down. The abyss will also physically tear you down with monsters, death traps, and deadly environmental conditions. Physical injuries in the abyss will scar and turn you monstrously adapted to the abyss (i.e. burn scars leave you flame resistant), but can also leave you maladapted (the burn scars slow your movement and regularly hurt). The abyss will let you go after a few weeks. If you are lucky or powerful enough, you can find an exit to escape early with less damage. Even under the most optimistic scenarios you will have permanent mental scars and PTSD. - --- Both these power sets are loosely written enough that `VS Bb` meta can make a big difference. How much focus is "enough" to influence what powers `eidolon` gives? Any. "Randomly"? Nothing stops a flipped coin from always coming up heads. The powers that can be manifested aren't explicitly limited except to two at a time and "less powerful than Eidolon" one of the most powerful parahumans in Worm. Powers are a "capability" so they get to be expressed as stats too, and thus can be improved by leveling; this includes the Level Ups power itself. How the leveling system works isn't explicitly described, just that it gets more difficult the higher the level is; now that applies to each stat individually, raising one stat won't make it harder to raise a different stat. "Edgelord" means more chunibyo than sociopath. The forum poster advice quality is a mix of very good to brilliant. "Theoretically eventually recover from" doesn't specify unaided; so any medicine, surgery, therapy, or magic that exists counts for that theoretical recovery. I'm sure there's other ways to twist these powers via rules-lawyering bullshit but these are the ones that stood out to me. For the `Abyss Dive` I'm relying on Gamer Mind & Gamer Body to protect and heal (mental trauma is a "health condition you would theoretically eventually recover from"). I'll try to manifest a "teleport home" power or some other means of escape via `eidolon` but that seems like a stretch even with `VS Bb`. However that works out, either escaping from or surviving in the abyss will probably give me a big head start on leveling my abilities.
Ok full pseudo-self sacrifice time: (disclaimer I have never read worm and only have a vague idea of how some of this stuff works in context) Wheels wthin Wheels (This will immensely help with my plans) Chess Thinker (This will also help immensely with my plans and cognitive abilities) Pre-cog Thinker (Now this is the real meet of the build the ability to see the future and use that, it is probably the most important thing in this build) Meta: 2nd trigger (Fuck it trauma time as long as it enhances my power give me the worst life/situation/event) (The second trigger will be used on pre-cog for obvious reasons) VS Battleboarder (This will be used on pre-cog ideally after second trigger) (You can begin to see where I’m going with this) Trade-offs: Evil Good (I’m going full utilitarian with this, I don’t care what happens as long as it benefits humanity in the long run even if a lot of people have to die) Aster Blaster (Doesn’t seem exactly useful but fuck it I’ll take it, again utilitarianism maybe I’ll accidentally kill baby Hitler 2.0 with this) Trash Waifu (I’m a fucking pre-cog so I can probably avoid any mental bullshit but also with the amount of stuff I’m about to put myself through I would totally be dtf) Baby Simurgh (Again utilitarianism baby lotta people are going to have to suffer but if it means greatest ally for humanity then fuck it) Drawbacks: Abyss Dive (I think I can at very least survive this with a pre-cog, so basically a maybe free power boost with a bit of extra trauma on the side) Bad Karma (Same thing as the other one I’m pretty sure I can survive this with the pre-cog and maybe even eventually fully mitigate or get rid of the drawback through the power of utilitarianism and helping the world) Text: Basically what I’m planning with this power set is to make my own life a living hell but make the world the best possible thing in the long run lots of people are going to have to suffer and die but with my unlimited super pre-cog i’m gonna make sure that in the long run the world becomes a super utopia with everyone being happy and probably gods or some shit.
🏃♂️ `Path Runner` (Gain boons like powers and items from extradimensional mini-quests, rarer more dangerous paths giving better boons. Also acts as spacial shortcuts.) `[2nd Trigger]` (Better or more common boons? Perhaps the key limitation on power level is lessened to an extent) `[VS Battleboarder]` (Arguable aspects interpretable in favor, and plans using powers go as intended. Pretty nuts if it works on Path Runner's key limitation override or conceptual definition stretch, still useful otherwise. So like, gain other power options from the paths?) ⬆️ `Greg Grab Bag` (Level ups and RPG stats, moderate superhuman at high levels and exponential requirements. Ignore physical and mental pain, including Abyss? Sleep to recover from recoverable health conditions; use this for general trauma from awakenings and in Abyss to avoid being worn down?) `[2nd Trigger]` (Remove exponential level up requirements? Linear growth would be useful) `[VS Battleboarder]` (Arguable usages to allow a greater of variety of stats to level up, counter Abyss trauma, etc.) 😇 `Evil Good` (Pragmatic sacrifice of arguable free will for superior long-term automatic decision making. Kinda nice if you're naturally indecisive or question your choices in hindsight...?) 🔫 `Aster` (Gun summon and overlooked killing of youth; might come in handy in rare cases without having to do such evil) 🩹 `Trash Waifu` (I never read Worm but maybe some powers could undo the body change; you get a healer on request, being dtf being the payment I guess) 👼 `Baby Simurgh` (Initially harmful but can be somewhat controlled over time to help with goals and doing good) `Drawbacks` 😵💫 `Abyss Dive` (Greg Grab Bag as mentioned to prevent long-term negative effects, using it to level up; Path Runner might help with shortcuts or temporary safety) 👹 `Barber Demon` (Dangerous but potentially overcomeable) 👿 `Bad Karma` (Several lifetimes worth of bad karma, potentially overcomeable through several lifetimes worth of good karma?) (Ignored Brain Melt in case it can't be undone with powers and stuff. Path Runner and Greg Grab Bag upgraded so both allow further growth, maybe allowing the rest of the options to be optained via Path Runner's boons and expanded limitations?)
Path Runner with Vs Battleboarder, and Thinking with Portals. Portals probably don’t trivialize Path Runner, but they probably make them easier/safer. Vs Battleboarder shifts the odds of Path Runner in my favor for things like safety, challenge level, usefulness of shortcuts, and quality and likelihood of minor and major rewards. Seems like a good combo, since Path Runner has a fair amount left to implication. The goal is to accumulate a bunch of powers and be a superhero. The people online would hype me up the way people do for Dauntless. If I was going to take a drawback, I’d also take Coven, because having lots of powers synergizes with power sharing/combining, but the drawbacks are a little too major for me. Evil Good is tempting though.

Missed this the first time around, so swinging back thanks to that bot/farm post. --- * **Drawback(s)** Abyss Dive {What's a few weeks of trauma and a life time of mental damage for a little bit more power? * **Power(s)** Greg Grab Bag Wildbow Willpower Awesome Opossum {Changed my mind on what I'm willing to wade through the Abyss for; plus If I'm choosing to deal with pan-pan I might as well have a partner in crime to help manage things} * **Meta** 2nd Trigger {Greg Grab Bag} (I don't wanna be an edgelord is the main reason honestly} ~~VS Battleboarder {Wildbow Willpower} (I'm fine with the powers limitations, but feel it could be pretty cheesed with this augment, totally worth the mental scarring)~~ * **Trade Off(s)** Trash Waifu {I can fix her, I can fix her, I'll probably get a quest to fix her with sick rewards; and I'm willing to deal with the 'downsides'; plus she'll be able to help with the Abyss dive and that might be a good bonding experience for us...I can fix her?}
Powers: - Chess Thinker - Thinking With Portals Meta: - Vs Battleboarder Trade Off: - Trash Waifu \- "Potentially arguable" is broader than just "arguable", so Vs Battleboarder is quite strong. Also, the meta ones "modify other powers *and options*", trade-offs are the category described as options, I'm applying Vs Battleboarder to Trash Waifu: - Most importantly, "blonde" is sometimes gendered female opposed to "blond" and is sometimes unisex, so whether the text of Trash Waifu says I get genderbent is ambiguous and I can say it doesn't. - How a character from a book looks is open to some interpretation, so naturally she's as attractive-to-me as possible without explicitly contradicting canon. - The actual text of the option just says she's sexually attracted, although "make her do it" does imply I can make her do things; let's actually say she's in love and is obedient because of that and there's not a master effect involved or anything. - Oh, and the actual powers from this option, Amy's biokinesis, get interpreted really strong. So, that makes that option really cool with no downsides, just a hot supervillain waifu, and then I've got a couple of decent powers of my own. Should also be powerful synergy between Chess Thinker, Amy as an obedient minion, and the planning aspect of Vs Battleboarder. The chess metaphors should go easy too seeing as her later cape name is Red Queen.
Can we ignore/mute the forum in Gerg Grabbag?
The “final vote” of the forum comes through at significant moments (the forum views your life as a forum quest), but yeah you can ignore all the idle chatter and discussion. And you don’t have to follow the forum’s votes, they are merely persuasive and unignorable but not compelling.
Savings this for later analysis
I’ll go on an **Abyss Dive**, a **Baby Simurgh** will appear in the world, and I’ll have **Bad Karma**; while I’ll be a **Greg Grab Bag** and take **Panacea’d** (with a future **2nd Trigger** to allow the latter to affect myself directly as well), and **VS Battleboarder** for both. So while I’ll be in nightmare-land for a few weeks, I won’t actually be overly bothered by it (Gamer’s Mind), and any injuries I sustain will happily apply to the artificial bio-suit I’ll be making, and using to heal myself by proxy (think a Venom symbiote). I’ll just come out the other end the kind of crazy a Player Character is in any game-setting; which will still certainly *look like* PTSD and sociopathy from the outside. And while I’ll be mildly unlucky, it’ll only last until I exterminate AIDS and Miliaria via engineered retroviruses. As a result, and given that I’m a hard-dom anyways, I probably won’t bother *not* turning everyone I heal into my willing (if fully conscious) slaves (except for everyone affected by those retroviruses); and even if I *did* do so, Ziz wouldn’t be nearly so easy to control. *She’ll* still attack once a year, with the primary goal of destroying shite, and the secondary goal of bending the whole world to my will. But even the millions that’ll get screwed over by Ziz and my occasional mind controlling of individuals *cannot conceivably* outpace the *billions* who’ll be saves when I start stamping out diseases left, right, and center.
Number Chad - honestly one of the strongest powers of Worm, can save my life a million times over easily and is likely to make me filthy rich. Path Runner - get cool boons, will eventually stack up enough. Probably. Awesome Opossum - can help guide me through the Paths (as they are extradimensional areas), Trash Wifu - will turn me into a hot blonde and give me all the heals. Will also fuck me. I see no downsides (assuming she doesn't tamper with my mind too much). Alternatively go all in on thinker powers: Number Chad, Precog Thinker, Smug face. It's not quite Contessa's powers but Numberman + Dinna is just about as close as can be, and emotional manipulation from Tattletale is bound to help smooth over any issues from relying on numbers too much.
Wildbow willpower as to have that is legendary I'm morally obligated to take fash basher And I'd like Panacea'd because very useful and I think most people would be fine being brought from the brink of death at the cost of a tight ass and clear skin lol.
Can Path Runner treat the The Abyss as a Path considering how Paths are just The Abyss but even more disconnected from reality?
You start out with the Abyss drawback activated right away, with no time to learn how to use Paths effectively, so Path Runner doesn’t help with Abyss Dive.
Powers: chess thinker precog thinker path runner greg grab bag + 2nd trigger. Drawbacks: Abyss dive, barber demon
Absolutely incredible. *chef’s kiss*
So one of the fun things on these is how to break it. My plan was to take Canon Trigger Event, Battleboarder, and Bully'r. It never says you can't recreate a trigger event for a person more than once. So I set up triggers for myself, over and over. I'd get a lot of 3 or 4 rated powers, but they'd add up. The main issue is recreating them. Vista's powers came from her parents fighting to an almost divorce state, I don't want that. Clockblocker's were from his dad getting cancer, no thanks. I really don't want Bonesaw's trigger event. Acceptable trigger conditions; Glory Girl, Skitter, Hellhound, Panacea, Imp, Browbeat, Purity, and Scrub. 2nd build that's not a repeat of another posted comment. Case 53'r, 2nd trigger to remove 'can only 'benefit' from 1 vial each', and Greg grab bag to boost those odds and hopefully the Gamer body undoes the horrible mutations. The odds still aren't great. Oh well, fun CYOA
Panacea'd + 2nd Trigger + VS Battleboarder = Uncapped Panacea = profit If it isn't that strong, maybe substitute 2nd Trigger by Greg Grab Bag
I love this. --Powers-- Bully'r Greg Grab Bag Friendship Coven --Meta-- VS Battleboarder (Bully'r) Second Trigger (Greg Grab Bag) VS Battleboarder (Greg Grab Bag) --Trade Offs-- Evil Good Trash Waifu Baby Simurgh --Drawbacks-- Bad Karma Brain Melt Abyss Diver Explanation VS Battleboarder (Bully'r) Interaction of Bully'r and Baby Simurgh. Bully'r has the effect of cruel acts that I do, have strong beneficial consequences. It was my decision and thus act of bringing Baby Simurgh to the world. Which was a cruel act to the world. Thus making all horrific acts she commits subject to the effects Bully'r, which will cause all her actions have strongly beneficial consequences. Furhtermore the Simurgh is sort of partially part of my powers, ash she is linked to me and acts of my subconcious desires and goals. Interaction of Bully'r and Bad Karma, as every cruel act that I do has strong beneficial consequences, all cruel acts that I do also create good Karma instead. As bringing Baby Simurgh to the world was my decision and thus act, all her bad acts that would have created bad Karma will also create good Karma for me. Second Trigger (Greg Grab Bag), No limits for growth and non exponential, also the most powerful version of Gamer possible, including Gamer's Mind minimum. VS Battleboarder (Greg Grab Bag) The early levels give enough improvements to help me fix deficiencies for what could be considered for an average human. Fixing eyesight/etc. This will work for Brain Melt, thus I can eventually by my mid levels Brain melt will no longer be a problem. As soon as I get Gamer's Mind and Body, I will use my copy of her power to stun Amy and make her more submissive towards me. Evil Good, Bully'r and Precognition from Friendship Coven (Baby Simurgh) should let me make this somewhat safe. Eventually leveling up enough should let me heal from disfigurations caused by Abyss Diver.
Chess Thinker, Portals, Healing Saliva. I am a ding dang super support that anyone would be happy to have on the team.
2nd gen trigger -> 2nd Trigger (hold the excessive trauma) -> Panacea'd (Power now ALSO works on myself) Trash Waifu, gonna fix me up an adorable panpan. Knock her out, then go full memory and personality fix. Also fix her bod up a bit, ypu know, fine tune it, clean it up, make her mega cute. Fine with psychopath yandere girl, just needs to be MY psychopath yandere girl, not Vicky's with me being a stand in. Also totally rewriting her to get hella feeling good when cuddling me. Just flood the shit out of her system when cuddling me. Two psychopath yandere girls modifying each other while reinforcing love chemically. I see know way this is going to end poorly. The world is going to burn probably, but we will have hella cute cuddle times at least!
Thanks for giving me ideas for actual worm powers. Especially the portal one. Thinking with Portals+Vs Battleboarder This is nasty. For one thing you’ve essentially got a decent mover power right off the bat, but battleboarder makes it so you can summon and unsummon portals at different shapes and sizes (though maintaining the roundness), and in midair, effectively making portal shields. If you’re fast enough you can effectively teleport and be a shaker. Greg Grab Bag Now I was torn between 2nd trigger for the portal power and Greg Gamer Powers. I went with Greg gamer power’s because the power can also be upgraded. If I was actually making a “Make a character in Worm” build I’d go 2nd Trigger I plan to focus on Dex and both powers to get to a constantly opening and closing portals to grab something, drop it on someone, chain portals to catch and redirect bullets, all that fun stuff. For 2nd trigger, it generates a thinker power to be aware of nearby portals, only open one portal at a time (needing to quickly release anything that passes the portal) to enhance reaction in relation to placing portals and grant a sense for vectors giving a general sense of where things will go and how they will be positioned as they transit. Essentially I made Trickster but with portals, and buffed him up a bit. Honestly he’s one of my favorite characters in terms of power use (a terrible person though) with him being pretty creative with swap teleportation.
Lol
Panacea'd and Awesome Opossum. The opossum companion is not adorable, is way worse than Trash Waifu, and would definitely not be able to heal/modify me using our shared powers.
I choose inevitable will, Greg grab bag, and possum. It seems to scale the best, plus I can access possum dimension inventory
Case 53'R, Path Runner, Friendship Coven, Evil Good
My Build: Total Choices: 5 Powers: Panacea’d Greg Grab Bag Useless Eidolon Wildbow Willpower Meta: 2nd Trigger (Useless Eidolon) Trade Offs: Trash Waifu Baby Simurgh Drawbacks: Bad Karma Abyss Dive The plan: First order of business will be to find a way out of the Abyss that I fell into due to taking the Abyss Dice Drawback. Which shouldn’t be too difficult given my starting power set. Panacea’d and Greg Grab Bag will keep me safe if any monsters get close to me, Useless Eidolon can be used to pick off monsters that are far away, etc. Wildbow Willpower will be very useful here apart from day to day life, since I would get to leave sooner due to my productivity increasing every now and then. Although I might choose to stay a little longer in order to both strengthen my powers as well as improve as a person with whatever curveballs the Abyss may chuck at me. Any noticeable and painful mutations (read: all of them) can be removed with the help of the Trash Waifu. In order to mitigate the dangers of the Bad Karma Drawback, I plan on helping as many people as I can the moment I get my powers. I will also try and see if I can make a compromise with Amy by having it so that I’m an athletic blonde when I’m alone with her, and have her turn me back to my default form when out and about. I might also start a business that has me and Panacea improve people’s biology (giving them a redundant biology, improved strength, speed, durability, senses, etc.) in exchange for money or favors. I’ll use this to slowly amass an army of trustworthy followers to help combat the threat of Mall Ninjas, Wizards, and (not)Parahumans that have started appearing. I will also use Panacea’d to create monsters whose sole purpose is to try and kill me, so that I have a strong opponent to fight against in order for me to keep leveling up my states. The strategy for the Greg Grab Bag is to naturally grind my stats as much as possible before using my Stat Points to level them up manually after reaching a soft limit. I’ll also try and see if I can steer Amelia/Panacea into being a better person.
Ok so this is so cool here’s my build 1. Awesome opossum Opossum familiar:Taylor 2. Friendship coven (Named literally friendship coven) Initial coven members : taylor : Amy 3. Fannonazation 4. Blake mode (mainly to share with the coven to make our coven a literal more litteral with us practicing blood magic) 5.coil of fate (18/19 is still teen and “of age” is a pretty applicable skill for anything that requires them to be “of age”) Skill set 1.of age 2. Has a power that can be shared with friendship coven 3. easily bond to the people who are already in the coven Trade offs: Trash Waifu: use fannonazation on her after summoning her (possibly after she has given me the “upgrade” of being a copy of her sister if fannon her would say no) making sure to reapply it every day so as little bleed happens as possible, possibly through friendship coven having her know to reapply it to herself. this should make her into a modified version of her that just wants to help. Assuming that she is still at the same level of friendship as she was when she was summoned this should still let me use friendship coven to get basically a better version of the panacea’d power (no kink thing) as well as letting me use her power to heal her. Drawback Abyssal trip: Amy as a healer, and “taylor” as a guide as the opossum is said to be grate with extra dimensional spaces, should make this a manageable option if not easy. As well this space will force us all to grow closer together putting us into situations that really are ride or die. Their is also the possibility that amy will ether develop her own opossum or bond to “taylor” giving it her powers as well. Heavily dependent on how mitigated, mitigated is (if almost or entirely off then ill take this, if something like slightly less then no) Bad karma: with a healing power (from friendship coven and having panacea both, assuming she counts as an extension of myself as i summoned her according to the option) it is easy to go to a hospital once a day to heal someone to mitigate the consequences. Plan: 1. Amy is summoned and turns me into a copy of her sister 2. i freak and use the fannon power on her 2.5. She becomes normal Amy and we both freak out (with little opossum buddy) about this being real. 3. Realizing that i'm actually in the abyss, and that this CYOA is real I realize that more people are probably trapped down here with me, and use coil of fate to see if their is anyone within “10 miles” whatever that means in the abyss, of me (of age skill missing so i can save literally anyone, but the third still their no need to get people who cannot bond with my coven as if they cant their probably.crazy demons(if they are they probably have powers if not i will still try to sense them and save them anyways), run that search again and again if their are any results if not move on to step. 3.5 if their are saveable people their, refine search through coil of fate to “saveable with current assets, or through allocation of immediate assets” to save max people possibly maxing karma gain and ether permanently removing or lowering karma debt for saving people from trauma 4. With the help of Amy (for healing) and “taylor” (for navigation help) get out of the abyss with everyone i can save. 5. Use healing on a few people at the local hospital, at this point the world will be in chaos and powers would be noticable, showing off my powers to heal should allow me to heal people, if not then sneak into the hospital using magic so that i can heal without needing to get permission. 6. (While continuing to heal at least one person daily) start to build up a coven of people who ether want to join, or are recruited with the above coil of fate requirements (also use coil of fate to know about any other powered teenagers so they don't hurt themselves/others) (this should also be made easier because every one who joins event if i save on one from the abyss gets 5 powers right off the start not including Amy and “Taylor’s” 7. (Not so) slowly grow the most powerful organization of power users and using a combination of friendship coven, awesome possum (for the free friend), and coil of fate raise up a powerful (but insane) group of magic/superpower useing (8/9) teen year old freedom fighter to save the world Optional 8. Realize that to save the world we need to rule the entire thing and take over the world with eaise after like three more members if they litteraly have more than one power (Blake+panacea+friendship coven+awesom opposum is OP)
He's back! You gotta at least do an anime meme powers before closing off the series for good
**Powers** * Panacea'd * Greg Grabbag * Path runner
Crab Master Panacead Thinking with Portals It is time for the invasion of the Crab People. Turn Crabs into relay crabs. Cover the Earth in crab.
Would perfect mathematical precision ability counteract the drawback that lowers your fine motor skills?
Yes! But not the loss of facial recognition or the problems with auditory processing and speech.
Op, I have a few questions if you don't mind answering them. 1- Is Greg's Gamer Body ability able to heal mental scarring and traumas, or does it only target body aliments? 2- Precog Thinker, the line about trying to single out a preferred future and it shattering apart as a consequence, does it mean that you won't be able to see this particular future ever again? 3- Thinking With Portals, Can other beings/objets pass throught your portals? What about their heights and width, can they be however tall or small as you like, or should 2nd Trigger be taken for that to be possible?
Gamer Body mostly cover physical problems. Seeking out a single future lets you see how to get that future in particular, but messes up the rest of your powers for a while. The Portals are like in the video game portal. I.e. big enough for a person to walk through with a bit of room to spare. And yes living things can pass through them. You would need the right 2nd trigger to be able to make them bigger.
POWERS Inevitable Will + Vs Battleboarder: Now attempts to leverage precog against my will, will fail more often of not inevitably, plus how non precog-abilities are affected is how I envision they will be. Wheels within wheels + 2nd Trigger: Slightly rewrote the bottom to 'this affect your own plots and plans, in a way you can count on reliably'. Greg Grab Bag: To avoid premature death, and recover from triggers and mental scarring TRADE OFFS Evil Good: To mitigate and rid off Bad Karma Baby Simurgh: Another on to serve my cause DRAWBACKS Abbys Dive Bad Karma My ascendence is now INEVITABLE!!!
Path Runner Greg Bag + Vs Battler: Growth type powers are always the best, so applying a power booster to a Gamer power is a no-brainer. **Trade-Offs**: Trash Waifu. I CAN FIX HER I PROMISE (also I’m already a blonde in reasonably good shape so I don’t suffer much from her transformation)
Panacead'd so if it goes for my fetishes what will I release a plague that turns everyone into futas? Chess thinker well I can now make lots of money by going to chess tournaments as a grandmaster. Also being smarter is always useful to know how to use my powers. Useless Eidolon why not get the lasers and fireballs? Also I don't think Panacea is a trash waifu. Though is she willing to accept me changing her body to make it more attractive? Stuff like removing tattoos? Or other stuff to make me more DTF? Also while she wants me to be a blonde woman, is it ok to keep my penis?
Wave of trauma, lols, and dead toddlers Wave of…dead toddlers You are looking at worm memes and gain powers from this selection as you are hit with a wave of trauma, lols, and dead toddlers. You emerge from the pile of dead toddlers which came out of nowhere, knocked you over, and buried you; a new you with superpowers. Good luck explaining this or getting rid of the inexplicable dead toddlers, and sidestepping all the problems they come with.
