Asking Staff to Fix Intang Type 2 vs Incorp

[Winter]

So a while back, some people (specifically Ultima and Saiko), were trying to fix the incorp vs intang issue, which never came across. Knowing powers can’t be revised by normal members (as far as I’m aware), I’m asking a staff member to make a revision to differentiate these.

Trying to figure this out has been a problem for me since I’m in a debate where intang is banned while incorp isn’t and the wiki here considers them 2 separate powers. This is weird because incorp is also a type of intang here. The 2 definitely need some sort of differentiation

Here’s the thread for reference

Incorporeality is a state of being, intangibility is generally the ability to turn incorporeal. The powers are redundant to an extent but do differentiate in a few substantial ways:

Intangibility is turned on off, incorpoerality is on all the time
Every form of intangibility lets something phase through another thing, incorpoearlity does not have to do that
Intangibility can be applied to more than oneself as a power, incorporeality can only go to the user

I don't think there's much to fix more just a need to explain to users properly the difference between two powers which do align well enough to each other.

Ok, thank you for the in-depth explanation

You say that, but Immaterial Intangibility lists being a ghost or just existing as a soul to qualify for it, which is not something you turn on, as that is your existence

Immaterial: This type of intangibility allows the user to phase through most attacks due to not being made up of a physical substance, such as ghosts or characters who merely exist as a disembodied soul. It also includes characters that are made up of things like energy.

Sure, but the other two points I mentioned still stand.

To be fair there's a fair few ghosts that can be selectively intagible. Danny Phantom ones come to mind.
