I use this for my regular locations all the time. Also I print out extras for any companions who might want to wander.

Honestly a number of them are far more powerful than the writers realize but the writers lack the imagination to actually use the powers to the greatest effect.

I was so happy when they wrote in a certain fatal airbending move into the latest seasons of Avatar. I always think, what could these powers really do?…

That's close. You can imagine a super speedy person being the same as a person who can slow down time (but NOT stop it).

What I'm actually saying is if you completely stop time, even if you're immune to the effects, you can't interact with anything without being able to selectively "unlock" other things from your time…

Well... I mean if you want to go with the actual scientific applications couldn't you just disintegrate people by making their molecules fall apart? You'd be the harbinger of doom unless you had god-like control over how you use the electromagnetic force. I mean, the electromagnetic force accounts for all physical and…

I'm saying if super strength and durability isn't also your power than you'd be useless in a time-stopped zone. You can't move anything because you're trying to accelerate it to basically lightspeed since you're moving it in 0 seconds. It's all pedantic.

Basically you need some way to selectively stop time for areas or…

You'd probably adjust to the saturation of smells in the air. Wolverine, Sabretooth, dogs, bears, and essentially every animal on earth have better senses of smell than humans.

You'd probably become the world's best chef.

I'd choose airbending and always have since book 1. The suffocating thing with airbending? I thought that to myself in book 1.
"If only Avatar was more brutal, air benders could remove the air from someones's lungs or even create balls of pressurized air. Once released they act like bombs. Everybody thinks fire is the…

Yeah but gravity has the perk of being a constant force here on Earth. Maybe one day you can show that punk what's up because he has no metal on him, but you can always double or triple gravity and make him and his goons sit the F down.

Fine control. A super strength sleepwalker would be the bane of a city for a night.

Unstoppable Pajama Man bored a man shaped tunnel through downtown late last night. Citizens who tried to stop him only get incoherent responses about "having to pee"

Man kills wife in his sleep! He says he was having a nightmare! We…

There's something wrong with every power if you look hard enough :)
But we're all nerding out here, sooooo yeah. I just happened to "be that guy"

I like it. Assuming you have complete control over it and won't be "stuck" in a form against your will, I see almost no downfalls.
(excluding society that is, people will always have problems with the unknown)

It's a bad day when you go blind because you ran into a dandelion seed at 300+ mph.

Think about it in real-time terms.
If you hold a 10lb weight in real time and drop it, it would take some strength to catch it and stop it right? It probably took your hands a fair amount of distance to slow down the weight and completely stop it right?

Now, imagine if you froze time in the middle of the drop. The…

Sure, but the problem here is distinguishing between low ranked players, and reverse-boosters and cheats who would ruin the experience for others; technically both groups can be the same rank and would normally be put together in matchmaking without some sort of BS detector.

the one caveat with time powers (this is really nit-picking at real life physics, btw) is that you'd need to be able to resistant to damage and also be super strong.

No, it would still match reverse boosters with legitimately new players based on "skill"

My first choice is always teleportation, although I am aware that some world's dictate the user can accidentally teleport themselves into a wall and die... Other than that it's a no brainer for me. (I lust after freedom) second comes super speed.

4th time you've misconstrued my point, even after singling out your comment that mirrors my sentiments.

wow, so many people topping over 3000 hours left.... Some over 10k.

I live in Riverside, I know what you mean about the sun. Times like those I try my best to find some good looking shade like a tree or awning; sometimes you're just out of luck.
