Mind control obviously. I could easily abuse the ability to basically take over the world. It would be awesome to bascially go out on global satellite television and proclaim to the rest of the world:
"Ahem... Okay everybody, now we're gonna do things MY WAY!" >
"Ahem... Okay everybody, now we're gonna do things MY WAY!" >
As far as versatility goes, pyrokinesis and telekinesis would be pretty useful.
Pyrokinesis - no more hunting for my lighter
Telekinesis - no more worrying over things outside my reach
I picked pyro though. Why not.

Intuition, It would be very useful making my life a lot less stressful (being able to ace all of my exams)and it wouldn't have any negative side effects. For example when sleeping the subconscious part of your mind takes over which with something like pyrokinesis could start a fire in your room and kill you :/
I want a very specific form of mind control: the ability to make people ashamed of their behavior.
Hmmm, mines probably about a draw between Telekinesis and Mind Control, depends to the extent of the powers though, I mean... can I control peoples bodies with Telekinesis? Manipulate just about whatever I want? Can I control several people with mind control? Regardless I went with TK.Douk said:
Mind control is a violation of human rights. Mind Reading is a slightly less serious violation of human rights. Clairvoyance would only extend your senses. Still doesn't really prevent someone from beating the crap out of you.Douk said:
Pyrokinesis needs to be defined a bit more. It would be great if you live in someplace really cold, but unless you can use it to lower tempertures as well, it's pretty limited. Other than warming yourself/your hourse up in winter and killing people, it isn't useful.
Only precognition and telekinesis are useful in one's daily life without killing people or violating human rights. Of the two, precognition would let you save lives by averting disaasters. Which sounds great, but when people find out you think you can see the future, they might just lock you up in an insane asyllum- simply rejecting any proof you can offer of your abilities as random chance. Also, the ability to see what is coming next is not the same as the ability to know how to get what you want. You can see what is happening next, but not the proper way to alter the outcomes to what you want. Your attempts to alter the future could easily backfire.
Telekinesis, on the hand, is useful for both combat and perfectly ordinary everyday life, it is extremely versatile, and does not inhernetly violate anyone's rights or kill anyone. Seems like the winner to me. Precognition is the only other one I would consider.
Let me blow all of your minds..and say that id want SOMEONE else...to have a power instead of me
My girldfriend to have patrial telepathy, to talk but not read my mind. Shes mute after all...HA..selfless action ftw

Isn't that just mind control, or possibly telepathy.Kiju said:
Personally I think that pyrokinesis, telekinesis and telepathy/mind reading would also be really cool.
Mind Control because then I could just find everyone else who selected a different power and control them for my bidding.
Win.
Win.
Prepare to be nerded on.
Disintegration, Psionic
Type: Psycoportation
Level: Psion/Wilder 6 Manifesting
Time: 1 standard action Range:
Medium (100ft. + 10/level)
Effect: Ray
Duration: Instantaneous
Saving throw: Fortitude Partial (object)
Power resistance: Yes
Power Points: 11
Description: A thin, green ray springs from your pointing finger. You must make a successful ranged touch attack to hit. Any creature struck by the ray takes 22d6 points of damage. Any creature reduced to 0 or fewer hit points by this power is entirely disintegrated, leaving behind only a trace of fine dust. A disintegrated creature's equipment is unaffected.
When used against an object, the ray simply disintegrates as much as one 10-foot cube of nonliving matter. Thus,the power disintegrates only part of any very large object or structure targeted. The ray affects even objects constructed entirely out of force, but not psionic effects such as a Null Psionics Field.
A creature that makes a successful Fortitude save is partially affected, taking only 5d6 points of damage. If this damage reduces the creature or object to 0 or fewer hit points, it is entirely disintegrated. Only the first creature or object struck is affected; that is, the ray affects only one target per manifestation.
Augment: For every additional power point you spend, the damage this power deals to a subject that fails its saving throw increases by 2d6 points. Augmenting this power does not change the amount of damage the target takes if it succeeds on its saving throw.

Telepathy seems kind of pointless if you're the only one who can do it... you wouldn't get a respons, you'd just make people think they were crazy from hearing voices all the time. Precognintion or intuition seems like fun, but I think you kind of have it allready (I mean you can sort of 'predict' what will happen in the future right?) Personally I would go for telekinesis. especially if it's really powerful, so I can lift anything with my mind. like the Force in Star Wars. oh... the fun I would have... *drifts away*
I'm sorry, is Perfect Body Control that you have perfect control of your body? or is it that you have control over prefect bodies? Because I can see advantages with both ; )Summerstorm said:
Mind control renders all the above obsolete. Hopefully it means control of the minds of people at long distances
