So I made this thread about four months ago, and it turned out I forgot some important cats! So we're doing it again!
Which of these powers would you most want to have? You can pick 2!
1. Goosefeather's foresight: The ability to tell the future, but no one believes you. (The seeing-the-dead thing is a separate power; see #9)
2. Yellowfang's empathy: You can feel the physical pain of other people.
3. Squirrelflight's and Leafpool's twin telepathy: You can telepathically communicate feelings and images (not words) to your sibling. Doesn't have to be a twin necessarily, but does have to be a sibling.
4. Jayfeather's empathy: You feel the same emotions as the people around you.
5. Jayfeather's dream walking: You can see other people's dreams and put yourself into them and communicate with them.
6. Jayfeather's memory reading: You can see into strong memories of other people, and see strong memories associated with specific areas.
7. Lionblaze's invincibility: You can fight well enough and have good enough reflexes to avoid all injury, but if you so desire, you can choose to let something hurt you.
8. Dovewing's supersenses: You can hear, smell, and kinda see things that are happening far away, up to a few miles.
9. Tree's (and Goosefeather's, and Rootpaw's, and the Sisters') sixth sense: you can see and communicate with the dead.
10: Shadowsight's seizures: You can sort of feel future events and get ideas of what to do next, but you also, you know, have seizures.
(I can't remember how Shadowsight's works, exactly, just that he said in TRS that he needed to "go for a swim" in order to save the Clans, so that's what I based #10 on).
Feel free to explore how your two chosen powers interact with each other! Perhaps two combined powers enable you to do things that could be a new power all its own. (For example, Jayfeather has both dream walking and memory reading, so he's able to give cats dreams of memories, i.e. Cinderheart).
I think I'm going to stick with Dovewing's supersenses and Jayfeather's dream walking. What are yours?
(I think I remembered everyone this time, but I probably didn't. Tell me if there's someone I forgot!)

Goosefeather's power serves me just fine. I may not be able to have other people believe me, but I'll know the future, and that's enough. The future can't be changed as per his visions, but I can prepare for it accordingly and that's a huge bonus.

This is a tough one, I def know I don't want Jayfeather's, Yellowfang's, or Goosefeather's.
Dovewing's could be cool, because you can hear if anyone is sneaking up on you, or something.
It could be bad too, because imagine all the unwanted smells you'd smell, also, you might overhear someone talking bad about you.
I suppose that could be a good thing though.
Lionblaze's would also be cool, because, you could never be hurt.
At least not physically.
Unless you wanted to, though, I can't understand why someone would want to be hurt, unless it's in the case of appendicitis or something.
Do you think that Lionblaze's power extends to internal pain? Like appendicitis, or a heart attack, or what not?
There's actual a medical disorder called CIPA, where people can't feel pain, but they also can't feel hot or cold, or when they need to use the restroom, anyway, moving on
Trees, the Sister's, etc, ghost communicating powers could be really useful, like, it could give families a peace of mind, if they don't know what happened to a loved one or something.
Leafpool and Squirrelflight's power, my sister bothers me enough as it is, so I wouldn't really want to have a mind link with her lol.
Or my other siblings for that matter.
In the end, I think I'll go with Tree's power, however, if any scary ghosts pop up, I'm out, and switching to Lionblaze's.

There's actual a medical disorder called CIPA, where people can't feel pain, but they also can't feel hot or cold, or when they need to use the restroom, anyway, moving on It's an interesting question. Would you consider a broken bone to be internal pain? Because we know he can't break bones. Can Lionblaze get sick? We've never seen him get sick, but it's also never been stated he can't. A lot of it is up to interpretation. In his own words, his power is that he "can't get hurt in battle", though we know he also can't get hurt by falling. So I would consider his power to be great fighting skill and supernatural reflexes to avoid injury, but he can also choose to not use his fighting skills and reflexes so he gets injured (like we see in TLH). But he could still get sick, because that's not an injury (so heart attack, appendicitis, etc, would still be on the table). It's just my interpretation of it, though, there's not that much information in the books, so really it's up to you! |

That's a good point I never noticed before that he's never been sick until you mentioned it lol |

If I had Lionblaze's power, I'd use it to rob a bank or something. I'm joking, but seriously, anyone would be a tank.
Dovewing's power is overrated imo.
Goosefeather's power is great but also depressing. Lil dude's got a whole bunch of trauma on his shoulders throughout his life and he can't do anything about it.

Lionblaze's power is not actually invulnerability to wounds. It's invulnerable skin. This difference is pretty clear when the fox mauling him causes him extreme pain even though it didn't pierce his skin. If you had Lionblaze's power, something like a car crash would still absolutely kill you by snapping your neck or giving you a bleed in your brain because it doesn't need to pierce the skin to kill. By that same logic, broken bones are probably still possible. If someone hit you in the face with a hammer, your skull would still cave in, but your skin wouldn't be broken.

That's another good interpretation, though not one that I believe personally. I think he's immune to any sort of external injury, like falling and breaking a bone or having a fox smash his head in. He can still feel pain, it just doesn't cause lasting damage. None of these powers are explained deeply enough within the books for any of us to say one way or the other for sure. |

It's abundantly clear though that what the fox did was different from other wounds. He's been bitten by cats before yet it didn't hurt him, but when the fox did, it really hurt him. It's not like he takes pain from everything, instead he only took pain when the fox bit him. This stands out to me as high evidence that his skin is all that's super tough, because that would allow him to resist bites and scratches from others yet his insides can still be crunched by the fox's stronger jaws. With your theory, he should be feeling pain in regular battles too, but this never happens. |

I'm not really up for a full debate on this, it's just supposed to be a fun little question about what powers are cool, and any interpretation of the power is equally valid as long as it's consistent with the majority of the books. I will say that Lionblaze does feel pain in other battles. In the instances he doesn't, it's because his fighting skills allow him to avoid coming into contact with anything that would cause him pain. I'm not saying your theory is wrong, just that mine isn't wrong either. Either could be the case and we'll never know, so there's no need to argue about it here. |

This just makes me think of the DF using his invincibility to torture him without worrying about accidentally killing him, That would have been an interesting way to make him less overpowered against the DF without relying on the stupid Cinderheart "I can't be invincible or she won't love me  !!" drama. |

I feel like Dream Walking is the most aesthetically pleasing one.
