No thank you. As I said in my first post, I only want to be safe, and since everyone else is also getting two powers that I can't predict, I chose one of the few non-omni/absolute power I found that could keep me safe from most/all other non-omni/absolute powers: Preemptive Adaptation. After that, it was just a matter of finding another power that could synergize well with it. The problem was that Preemptive Adaptation could already give me access to most of the other powers under the right circumstances, so my choice was rather limited if I wanted to avoid potential redundancy. It's then that I realized that all I had to do was find a power that could circumvent that situational limitation and one of them is Programmable Powers.

The rules are: Scorpio 1999 wrote: -You can't have any powers that could lead to omnipotence or nigh-omnipotence, whether directly or indirectly.

-No Almighty or absolute powers.

-No "omni-" powers. Nowhere does it say that you can't have powers that can lead to omni, absolute or almighty powers (excluding (Nigh-)Omnipotence). Preemptive Adaptation and Programmable Powers break none of the three since the only way the former it can lead to Nigh-Omnipotence is by pitting the user against a nigh-omnipotent being, which is prevented by one of the setting's rules. Besides, the wording of the rules leave place for interpretation. I take them to mean that the kind of powers they mention cannot be requested rather than that they cannot be possessed by anyone at any point in time.
