>Wealth Form

It solves its own drawback, you don't have to worry about kidnappers. It doesn't say I have to touch the object to change it into gold, and there are so many quarter-sized bits of a human that are indispensable. An aortic valve. A cross-section of optic nerve or spine. Turning a quarter's worth of volume of the claustrum in someone's cortex would probably promote them to perma-veggie status. Even if one human body is considered "an object" there's no cap or cooldown, you could take out any amount at once. If you make the volume thin enough you could even spread it across the cross-section of a limb or neck.

Believe it or not just being able to kill people doesn't necessarily solve the problem of people trying to kill you, and creates its own problems as well. Besides, if you take Wealfh Form you can't take HoardKeeper

Drawbacks:

Greedy

It's whatever.

Powers:

Pickpocket

+ Bigger Score

Working is for fags. I'd rather just leech off of everyone else. Walk into a shopping mall, take a few hundred from every retard buying fancy clothes or overpriced tea candles, and walk out with some personal luxuries and a month's worth of rent.

Sleepless

I have a spare credit and this seems like a great way to spend it.

Invest

+ One Chance

It's a free power. I could just walk into my basement and invest in everything I haven't touched in years. Or invest in every piece of junk in my junk drawer. Instead of tossing out old stuff, I can just put it in a box and invest in it for a year or two.

I considered taking Bribe + The Immune because it's a free power, but I worry that it would be a bad mix with the Greedy drawback. Too tempting to bribe people for my own personal benefit, even when the costs might be too great.

Perk:

Lucky

Being able to leech money from people around me makes gambling and lottery more than a viable prospect. I can walk into a casino and spend hundreds at the Poker table for hours and lose every single time, but still walk out with a profit because I've been siphoning those hundreds of dollars from the dealer. Lucky just makes it easier to actually win once in a while. Winning the lottery or smacking a jackpot at the slots would also be a good excuse to explain why I can afford a house despite not having a job.

None; Four is plenty. Thanks money god!

>Powers

<Investment

Great for passive return income with no risk or outside involvement. Allows me to invest my dosh and holdings without actually going out on a limb, or even having enough capital to interest a major group. I could just set aside 50$ every day and without any planning, expense, or minimum charge to save up to, it'd give interest. I wish a percentage was listed, but I guess I'll find out over the years! Since this power effects objects, I could buy borderline trash electronics and so forth at thrift prices, and resell them after a year as quality, designer, or like-new equivalents. (IE CRT to flatscreen, old shirt to some kind of overpriced aftermarket Gucci product). The profits would probably make a pretty good amount of cash, maybe enough to pay for basic expenses and still set aside some every month into passive 'investment'.

<Sleepless-Shared

Allows me to be exceedingly productive. I will have to run some tests to see if I can still make muscle gains without adequate sleep. Also gives more time for hobbies, reading, personal projects, and just makes life much easier. Wanna work the graveyard shift, the morning shift, and the evening shift at three different jobs? Wanna start a real estate LLC and manage/purchase duplexes/apartment buildings? Wanna flip houses while also going to a culinary school part time? I can do that. All of that. Simultaneously.

>Perk!

<Wealth Form

This is stupendously fun. Should make my investments better and add extra vim and pep to life- and what a great time it'll be besides!!

My body will be tungsten carbide bonded with polycarbonate resin thermoplastic, mechanically sintered with endothermic gas and hyper-compressed into a limber, nigh-invulnerable composite that presumably heals damage like a human body. My hair will be made entirely of flexible strands of the thermoplastic, transparent and flexible- it'll probably appear white when resting on my head. I weigh about 260 lbs IRL, and by my body mass index that means that I am 7125.52 inches cubed of flesh. Tungsten carbide weighs 0.70 pounds for every cubic inch- meaning that my Wealth Form weighs 4987.864 lbs, or, rounding up to the nearest 1, four thousand nine hundred and eighty eight pounds, roughly twenty times my current weight. This form, easily assumed, has a proportionate strength/weight ratio. I can curl a 50 lb dumbbell with moderate strain- 50x20 is 1000. My wealth form can bicep curl two fucking tons. The little magic trick where I can turn a little pebble or a penny, so on, into gold? -Very charming, and since there's no time limit, I could use it to get a bit of capital to invest with my investment power. I'll use this sparingly, of course, because I don't want to devalue gold. That'd be sad. Oh! And my eyes will be hematite backed, low opacity labradorite spheres. Image related.

End result? Very cool-lookin' unmovable/implacable form, superhero levels of strength, passive investment abilities to improve all aspects of life, lots of free time, more resources, less stress. Wonderful!

Thanks very much, Money God!

It says "a precious metal of your choosing". I don't think tungsten carbide is classified as "precious", and I don't think that whole description fits the term "a" very well either.

I appreciate that. No less, composites and alloys are still considered a single material if properly bonded, which I described in detail, and tungsten carbide is priced at 22.07USD/LB. Granted, not as high as silver (183.94USD/LB) but certainly not as low as say, Iron. I think tungsten if nice, but I didn't want to get grains of myself everywhere when overheated, because, well, who wants metallic dust all over their stuff? So I figured the composite mixture would be most tenable. I don't think I munchkin'd too much, nor do I feel I breached the rules for unfair advantage, simply put I put a lot of customization into it. No less, thank you for your concern, and if the author were to clarify or update in a manner that excluded my choices, I would happily revise.

This was actually well thought-out and pretty based Anon

As for mine-

I won't take any drawbacks only because they all fuck you over more than they're worth compared to the drawbacks of the perks and powers.

Powers-

>Invest with One Chance

At that point it's a free perk and what stops you from buying an extra object from what you already have, and then letting it grow? Even if that's cheesing it too hard I'm not too heartbroken by the premise of having certain items stashed away to grow for a while, for free. Literally no downside, just extra cash/nice shit to add to my net worth.

>Sleepless with Shared Power (-2 credits)

Literally no drawbacks, and I can now make my power team also sleepless.

>Bribe with The Immune

Again, it's a free perk with no downsides. There will always be people who you can't bribe anyway, and plenty of people who you can. Why not take it for slightly more influence? Plus it could come in handy with the hipsters later if any of them start to make a real big fuss. I doubt the sub-1% of those opposed to my fine products are gonna be particularly affluent.

<unless the fact that they're utterly disgusted by my marketing means they have the willpower to not be bribed, in which case still a free perk though

>Manage (-5 credits)

This way I can hire a team of 20 bros for my company and competently lead them, while also improving their skills. 20 skilled workers with a great leader are far more valuable than 100 hired nobodies with some mediocre middle management type.

Perk-

>Advertisement with Hipsters (+3 Credits)

Now here's where the full plan comes to fruition. Me and my team won't focus on the products we sell, rather we'll relentlessly shill for em. I don't really care what we sell, it could be mundane shit like pet rocks and other useless trinkets. Regardless, my general plan would be to make our cheaply mass-produced bullshit into national phenomenons that people would eat right up. As soon as that 1% of hipsters begin to actually get their points across to other people, we release Bullshit 2, an even "better" version of whatever we sold before. The hype generated around this with our supernatural marketing will easily take people's minds off the hipsters and sate the general public until it's time to release Bullshit 3.

TL;DR- I found Apple and get rich with my bros

Interesting. Because things like skills and years of life become tradable commodities with those powers, they could be seen as part of your hoard for your perk.

>>15714

And this is the same thing on steroids. The question here is, with invest, what's the rate? Is it worth it to put a year of your life in investment and take it out a year later? How much more than a year will you have to replace that year you spent waiting? I suppose it doesn't matter if you can re-invest.

And let's say you go to an aging doctor and buy his medical knowledge for a few more years, then invest it. Take it out after (what, five years? a decade?) and you could cure cancer. Invest a neurologist's knowledge for a century and the secret to uploading consciousness is yours. Invest the knowledge of a particle physicist for a millennium or two and what, are you god now? Einstein is often quoted as saying the most powerful force in the universe is compound interest.

Deal/SkillPerm + Invest is OP tier. Everything else is flavor.

This is clearly the superior build, event with 10 trillion debt which gives a lot more humans to extend your power to and faster rate with invest, the invest power alone is enough to become debt-free. Turn stones in into pure diamonds or other more valuable minerals. Turn your computer overnight into a super-super-super-super-super-computer. I wonder what will happen if you use it on yourself, pickpocket might become a useless perk.

With the deal/wager + large project powers you can have a lot of people give up their own agency while increasing their stats.

The snowball starts rolling.

>>15723

That's what I am getting at with investing in yourself, with 1000x+ rate. Picketing becomes obsolete with your xxxxIQ

True, but hoardkeeper requires you to sleep on a pile of physical valuables to stop aging. It's nice to have a fallback should you not want to be tied to that. Also, "youth" and "years of life" are slightly different commodities. Years of life would be just that, how many years you have until your death by whatever means fate has in store for you, be it a natural death in your old age or getting street pizza'd by a bus with no brakes a decade from now. "Youth" covers your natural physical age. If you buy more years of life, then fate will work out that you simply live longer, even if it has to go reverse-Final-Destination and provide a string of coincidences to do it. With hoardkeeper's youth, you can still be killed if fate has you scheduled. So you'll also still want to be investing that time.
