I was refering to "Pick A Power".  

The site is 503 Over Quota right now, so I can't verify.
But if I recall, that one is not a mimicry. Neither does it have a 24 hour limit.

I agree that "Omnipotent Power Mimicry" isn't truely overpowered.

[Vespert]

You can check it here.

[Celadon's Penultimate]

Sounds pretty morbid to me.

[Mik_Hael]

Sounds fun.

[Myself]

Okay, who's next?

[Gentleman Vaultboy]

You could probably beat someone like this if they aren't able to adapt quickly to changing situations. They have to choose to switch powers, and i imagine that while the switch is happening is they're vulnerable period.

[Gentleman Vaultboy]

I haven't played it ever, but I'm a big fan of some of the fluff. Technocracy for life!

[Gentleman Vaultboy]

Mine is a Fey Corgi adventurer.

That's an actual thing, in DnD. They have their own stat block and everything.

[Myself]

I'm not asking whether you could beat them, but whether it is overpowered.

For instance, I could ask whether Telekinesis* is overpowered, but the answer isn't altered by the fact that Power of Imagination* can erase the telekinetic from existence, now does it?

[Gentleman Vaultboy]

Well then, yes. The power to have any power is exceedingly overpowered.

[Marvelous Miscreant]

What an odd thing.

[Celadon's Penultimate]

 As opposed to all the other normalcy of Dungeons and Dragons?

[Gentleman Vaultboy]

[Marvelous Miscreant]

Ha ha, I love it...

[Celadon's Penultimate]

 Indeed.

[Celadon's Penultimate]

 The fact that it's limited to one a day makes it less overpowered, I think.

Unless you can get a power like Magic, Reality Bending, etc, then it shouldn't be that bad.

[Marvelous Miscreant]

That was my argument too.

[Zaleramancer]

The Changeling the Lost Kiths are neat.

[Celadon's Penultimate]

 *sigh* Pity I never really got into the fantasy genre thing. Or sci-fi or any of that stuff.

Or, rather, never got into really heavy reading or roleplay.

I hasn't the slightest clue as to what the deva either of you are talking about.

[Zaleramancer]

Seemings.

Essentially: You were once normal, when a crazy amoral member of the fair folk kidnapped you. They dragged you back to their world, Arcadia, and enslaved you. Either their magic, or the magic of the world itself warped and twisted your body, making you into a Changeling. Eventually, you escape, only to find a magical construct- A Fetch, in your place.

So your old life is gone to you. Dead. And now you have to live in fear of the fair folk suddenly reappearing to take you back.

Or, to put it better:

Player characters are Changelings, humans who were stolen from their lives by the True Fae of Arcadia and kept as slaves or servants. Changelings are no longer entirely human, having been tormented in positively Lovecraftian ways until they were broken in either body, mind, soul, or all of the above, and then rebuilt according to the True Fae's whims. The player characters, and many non-player character Changelings, are those who managed to fight, sneak, run, or trick their way back to freedom and the mortal world, but even when they return they bear the scars of their experience. Their very bodies have been changed into inhuman shapes. Their eyes have been opened so that they can see the truth of things, but they are also beset by hallucinations and tricks of perception. Worst of all is the constant, nagging worry: what if I never escaped? What if this is all a trick... or if I was allowed to leave?

Considered by some to be the single bleakest thing White Wolf has ever written. Well, maybe not quite as bleak as Wraith: The Oblivion was, but cranked up there pretty hard and fast. Definitely a stark contrast to its idealistic predecessor, Changeling: The Dreaming. On the other hand, there is a deep emphasis on relationships and connection that isn't there in other New World Of Darkness games- being only slightly better than humans, Changelings must rely on others- their Motley, their Freehold, their Entitlement- to help them take on most threats and maintain their hold on what sanity remains to them.
