Rage Power Clarification

[FinePoint]

This is a follow-up to the discussion here.

Rage Power reads as follows:

Ability to gain strength from anger.

The user becomes stronger, faster, more durable, etc. through anger, rage, hatred, and vengeance whether their own or others, possibly unlocking abilities related to the affinity and enhancing their existing powers. Some users may be able to draw sustenance from the anger or even slow or stop aging.

Given the vagueness of this definition, a normal adrenal reaction would qualify as rage power, which would mean that every human being has rage power.
It is my opinion that we should not list powers if they functionally apply to everyone. Bambu claims that there is not a firm ruling for this either way, so I think we should make one, starting with a simple addition to rage power to make that clear.

I propose a simple addendum like so:

Ability to gain strength from anger.

The user becomes stronger, faster, more durable, etc. through anger, rage, hatred, and vengeance whether their own or others, possibly unlocking abilities related to the affinity and enhancing their existing powers. Some users may be able to draw sustenance from the anger or even slow or stop aging.

Note that for a character to qualify for this ability it should differ from what is possible for a typical human (i.e. not a normal reaction to adrenaline).

Looks alright.

 

[Damage3245]

That's fine.

 

[Mr. Bambu]

Preemptively (as in, before potential counter arguments) agreeing. Powers should be in comparison to human capabilities.

 

[Antvasima]

This seems fine to apply, yes.

 

[SamanPatou]

This is fine, though I gave it for granted that it refers to extraordinary and superhuman boosts. Still, a specification doesn't hurt.

Well, there's this: https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20160501-how-its-possible-for-an-ordinary-person-to-lift-a-car

I have seen the first case listed in the article in a video back in high school, and the video largely attributed the feat of some ordinary lady lifting a car up to this thing called "adrenaline," whatever the heck that is.

Personally I think a case that extreme would still have Rage Power applied to it, but otherwise, OP seems uncontroversial.

As long as it's significantly above what is typical, I think it is fine, even if technically possible in real life.

The example which sparked this thread was someone getting angry then pushing someone off of them who was previously restraining them.

 

[Antvasima]

It seems like this has sufficient approvals to apply now.

 

[FinePoint]

This was never applied.
(And I don't have permission.)

@Reiner04 You're up fam

@DarkDragonMedeus @Damage3245 @Mr. Bambu @SamanPatou

Could one of you either apply this or briefly unlock the page so I can?

I also asked on the request thread, but nothing.

 

[Antvasima]

I have unlocked it for you.

 

[FinePoint]

It has been applied, so I will close this now.

Thank you to everybody who helped out here.
