I said blessed but thats for the regeneration, wolverine style would be awesome though might take some of the fun out of extreme sports, the seeing the future could be a real curse though especially if you could not turn it off, would be nice to know the next weeks lottery numbers and stuff like that though, though knowing the future could you change the future? what manner of paradoxis could you cook up with that. :lol: ;D :thumb:

Happy for regeneration, or cursed for seeing into the future. So do I have to vote twice? :p

I think I'd need some more details on this one :P

Being able to regenerate any lost limbs and stuff, I simply don't see a down side to it, you will never have to fear dying from wounds and you'll be able to live free of fear, that is untill you get old and have a chance you'll die of age :P.

Being able to see the future would be nice, since I'd love to win the lottery, but not being able to turn it off... Like Drong said can you change the future? Or are you doomed to live out the destiney you see laid down before you?

If I was able to control it then I'd see it as a blessing. However even if I wasn't I could still use it to help people who are facing danger in their futures.

Being able to see the future and then foresee your own death would suck really.. I actually think I would be devestated..
No.. I didn't know about the set when I made the character! :|

But knowing the manner in which you could die would give you the opportunity to change it.

I think it would be a blessing myself.

These powers like everything else in life have a good side and a bad side to them. You will either love it or curse it most likely depending on the moment. The ability to regenerate is awesome, unless you were walking with your wife and you both got shot. You would live, but she would/could die. Not much of a blessing then. Same goes for the other powers. There will come a time when the bonus for you is a negative for others, and vice versa. :)

So what if you see yourself die a painful death in a massive nuclear holocaust that wipes out the entire planet? :P

I would feel cursed, I think. I enjoy extreme sports, and extreme drunken sports (jumping off walls, climbing scaffolding, arguing with girlfriend). Part of the enjoyment of these things is the element of danger, which would be taken away if I had those powers.
