Dragon for sure. It's getting increasingly embarrassing to be a human...

DnD dragon, get shapechange for free

[–] [email protected] 11 points 9 months ago (3 children)

Yeah, it's strength, flight, maybe poison breath all in one and you can go back to human anytime. Dragon has literally no downsides!

Why would anybody take talk to plants? You can already do that. They couldn't talk back even if you took that potion, nothing changes.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (1 children)

Yes but if it was clarified that you could in fact communicate with plants in a meaningful way I'd take that one in a heartbeat. You could do so much with that. Imagine being a reporter or a private investigator lol. An archeologist could just ask some trees what was going on under them. Dying of hunger or thirst? Just ask some plant what's edible or where some water is. Plenty of plants want to be eaten to reproduce anyway. Ask some fungus (if it counted as plants for magic) what the meaning of life is while you're at it

"Mr Mushroom, whats the secret of life."

"Not this again... another human got high off us and started talking to my genitals..."

Jokes aside, the ability to tell plants what to do would be sick.

I choose the dragon one because I can get more out of that than the others here.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago (2 children)

I'd be worried that I couldn't change back. I'd choose flight, since none of the other dragon stuff feels too useful besides just being strong.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Maybe they're all secretly traps. You can't change back from being a dragon; if you choose flight, you just start floating upwards and can't come down; you're not immune to your own poison breath; courage just makes you incredibly over-confident in your own abilities...

Talk to Plants.

Just so I can tell vegans what their food is saying.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 9 months ago (5 children)

This was my first choice, until I thought of how horrifying the screams would be whenever someone mows the lawn

Plot twist, all plants have a vore kink

[–] [email protected] 25 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Probably has the same effect though.

"Eat me, daddy! UwU!"

"I... I'm not hungry any more."

Flight for sure.

I think the sleeper is "talk to plants". Remember how Aquaman used to be the joke in the Justice League? And I'm not well versed in comics, but Poison Ivy comes to mind as being pretty powerful.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I can already talk to plants. It's not very satisfying though

[–] [email protected] 18 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (2 children)

Fuckin' monkey's paw shit. 🤣

"You can now talk to plants."

"Cool! What do they say?"

"Oh no, you can't understand them. You can just speak to them."

[–] [email protected] 7 points 9 months ago

"They also still can't understand you."

[–] [email protected] 21 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Nah, if anything talk to plant is pretty weak. Poison Ivy can control plants, which is significantly stronger. Control plants let's you force them to grow big and grapple people, or produce particular toxins in people's faces, etc. Talk to plants lets you ask plants very politely to do something, but they are still just normal plants, and can just say no.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago

Plants can't say no because they can't talk. But you can talk to them.

You can always relax by noticing your body & mind relaxing instead of trying to force them to relax

[–] [email protected] 15 points 9 months ago

From the creators of "Just don't be sad", here comes: "Just relax"

[–] [email protected] 4 points 9 months ago

I like to focus on my shoulders. If I notice they're scrunched, I lower them, and the rest of my body tends to follow suit.

[–] [email protected] 77 points 9 months ago (1 children)

always relax

sphincter prompty unclenches

[–] [email protected] 11 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Always Relax is the true Instant Death potion. Why stop at the sphincter when every muscle and blood vessel in your body suddenly stops contracting.

"Become a dragon" covers most, if not all, of the rest.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 9 months ago (1 children)

yeah but i dont wanba be a dragon

[–] [email protected] 29 points 9 months ago
[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

I was thinking the same.

[–] [email protected] 62 points 9 months ago (2 children)

Really dependent on which mythology's dragon you become. That aside, being a dragon in modern day would probably be very hazardous. Better hope you're a small enough dragon to not cause much property damage while figuring out your new body, and to stay mostly undetected, because otherwise you're likely to end up dead, or in captivity somewhere in fairly short order.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I'm Welsh, we already like Dragons, I'd be the second coming of Y Ddraig Goch. It'll be fabulous.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I was gonna say, if a snake like Donald Trump or Boris Johnson can get ahead in this life then a Dragon would be the perfect political figurehead for people to ~~worship~~ support.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 9 months ago (2 children)

Now I want to see that movie. Guy becomes dragon, turns into politician.

Assuming D&D lore, polymorph fixes that problem pretty easily. A polymorphed dragon could blend into society pretty well, and if you want, you could still get a ride into international waters (to avoid setting off national airspace warnings), fly down to some random jungle tribe, and be worshipped as a god. Plus nigh immortality (assuming aging only affects your polymorphed form and you continue to age at the rate of your dragon-self).
