Push the Button time
Positive: You will get your current character's abilities
But
Negative: You will have to deal with annoying goblins everyday
Would you press the button?

P.S they won't try to kill you, just try to do bad/annoying things to you.
Even when you're sick.

What about Labyrinth goblins? Oh, do they come with David Bowie?
Labyrinth goblins, but Bowie doesn't join them for mischief missions. You've got to do the whole journey through nightmare thing like Sarah did.
Pro: You gain ability
Pro: Goblins appear everyday so it give exp and help make you strong...
Where is the negative?
Depends on the goblins, and what specifically they would try to do. Some kinds of annoyances are very positive.
"Current character's abilities" would be a side benefit.
Although...literally, every day? Meaning there will be no day - ever - where I would not be dealing with goblins, thus ruling out long term incapacitation and death (which would prevent me from dealing with goblins)? Sure I'll take immortality via loophole! XD

It doesn't rule out death, it just means you get sent to the goblin afterlife.
Which if I remember correctly was a bunch of polyhedrons smashing into each other with warring armies on each face.

Unrelated to the question, but... I'm reminded of my brother's character, who, when spotting a goblin pickpocketing someone, he opted to follow that goblin around, harassing him. Up to and including delivering a flying kick by way of zipline for about 30 nonlethal damage, to a level 2-ish goblin. Poor little guy didn't wake up for days.
As for the question, having the unlimited arcane powers of a high-level cleric/wizard would be ample compensation for any harassment by goblins. Especially since goblins are flammable.

Or until I got tired.
I had already pushed by the Time you said there was a button. :3
Can I get only half of my powers but get this breed of goblin instead? https://1d4chan.org/images/b/be/Towergirls_Gen_1.png
Well, I mean, my character has so far magically compelled two goblins to be his friend (for strategic purposes, obviously :P)
So, I'd probably just keep doing that to the annoying goblins, even swap out some more 1st-level spells for more Charms.
And then spend the rest of the time being a cool Warlock (well, 'Witch') who can presumably get rich JUST off his 'cast Cure Light once per person per day' ability - a genuine 'Faith Healer' ability, essentially, and it's not even the core part of his powers (just some 'side perk')

Also, astral projection and the ability to conjure attack beavers.
PUSH THE BUTTON! PUSH IT UNTIL I HAVE ALL THOSE HOPELESSLY UNFORTUNATE GOBLINS!!
The only characters I have are Shadowrun ones, so apart from deeply intrusive cyberware I'd mostly be SOL; no mana to tap into, no matrix to access. Definitely a bad deal.
well since my current character is a goblin with an slight evil overlord/ goblin supremacist bent... so massive psionic power and free minions? I'ma hit that button like I'm playing diablo.
Ssssoooo, it's like the scamp staff effect from ES4: Oblivion, huh?
I came up with a simple concept that if you can find it for sale online, then we'll agree you can purchase it for that price. So if a player wanted their character to buy a new laptop computer, they would go to Dell or Gateway and price something they wanted their character to purchase. For a few sessions it was fine. Even helped with expenses like buying plane tickets or renting hotel rooms.
And then one day a player stumbled upon a real auction for a British built aircraft carrier. At a bargain-bin starting price of four million US dollars. The players bought the carrier.
The question is: What kind of idiot GM makes it possible for the PC's to have a 4 million dollar budget?
One that has the PCs working for a spy agency, which presumably fronted the money and became the true owner of the carrier, for use on more than just the PCs' missions.
I don't see many uses that a *SPY* agency would hae for an aricraft carrier, maybe as a mobile base or something along these lines...
So it really isn't an idiot mistake. This was warranted funds to stop people from undermining a nation. :3
That is beautiful. If I ever run a "modern" game, I'll have to incorporate that. To Ebay with balance!
Could always limit it by pointing out the staff needed to keep an aircraft carrier in operation, even assuming there's no air capacity.
That is AWESOME.
What did they do with it? It would have cost more than they paid for it to upgrade the equipment and buy an air wing....
Back when I bought my first car, I tried to talk my dad into buying me a Daimler Ferret armored car I found on Ebay for a Buy-it-now price of $21,000. It was road legal, I wasn't expecting to drive more than a few miles a day so wouldn't waste TOO much gas, and it came with TWO gun turrets. He still didn't go for it. :(

I believe they eventually sold it. Kind of impressed they didn't try to break the game with it, but then again you are right that maintenance was just too expensive to keep using it.
Probably for the best since that sort of thing usually gets you on the 'let's keep an eye on them' police list and any accidents with it might get tricky.
...Twilight missed an opportunity. "One must know these things when one is a wizard. But I just looked it up on my phone."
Also, "non-translucent" could mean "completely opaque" or "completely transparent". She probably meant the former. (And the gel...well, there are many kinds of gel, some a lot less favorable to pollen than others.)

less than 250 pages until this webcomic reaches the 1000 page and so far around 80 pages been uploaded this year
Normally I rule out solutions looked up online unless the player can successfully argue why the character would have any idea this was feasible.
Though in Twilight's case the tech and magic is all over the place, and she is a character who's spent most of her life learning and being taught how to research, so I'd probably let it slide.

Something something rules lawyers with an active internet connection can probably argue for anything imaginable.
