Nen page
Ren - Fear Manipulation, Limited Paralysis Inducement, Madness Manipulation (Type 3) and Limited Death Manipulation (It has been stated that without Ten, a Nen User is capable of inducing crippling fear, paralyzing people, causing insanity and even outright killing them with Nen alone, this is through malicious aura attacks), Statistics Amplification (Ren also enhances physical characteristics)
The problem here is that all of this is considered something universal instead of selective. Yeah, you can scare your opponent with Ren, but not every user is capable to turn you insane

Lets see the feats

The entire verse:
Gon and Killua can't get close to Hisoka and the effort migh kill them (chapter 47)
Wing scares Gon and Killua and says that Ren is used as a bluffing to panic the enemy (chapter 46)
Kurapika scares a bald guy (chapter 101)

Royal Family:
Knov cannot get close to Pouf's aura and has his spirt broken, with him losing hair and turning bald due to such traumatic experience (Chapter 251 and 290)
Pitou's aura makes Palm comit suicide (Chapter 294)
Post-Rose Meruem scares Welfin so much that he ages several years in a blink of a eye, with his brain cells working feverishly as they have never before to find the word that would save him (Chapter 313)

As you can see, the Nen page make is sound as if any Ren user could basically peform everything above, in a way where it sounds that even someone as Meleoron or Ikalgo could cause insanity to someone, but thats not the case. Theres clearly a big margin between the Royal Guards and the rest
I also removed Death Manipulation, since Wing says that the "effort" would kill Gon and Killua, so its more something related to stamina

These changes seem reasonable to me. I'm actually not sure whether or not to keep the Death Manipulation since it is clear that struggling through Ren without having any protection against it will eventually kill you. Dunno what the exact standards are for something to be outright death manip as opposed to just being able to inflict death through other means. The Madness and Age thing though I fully agree with.
