Probablity/Super Natural Luck vs Acausal Type 4

I'm gonna say no since Type 4 Acausality is based on irregularities on a grander scale than what Probability Manipulation can typically handle. I dunno, lemme bring in someone who knows their way around Acausality to see if they can better answer this question.

Probability manipulation is based on manipulating the percentage that an effect has to happen, since it works as a weaker version of Causality Manipulation, it´s safe to assume it won´t work on people with Irregular casuality

Now, Supernatural Luck? I´m pretty safe it would work, since it doesn´t direct manipulate probability, just makes its user to have, well, supernatural luck
 
Like, Supernatural Luck causes Lucky things to happen, but a Type 4 would be outside of the cause and effect system
Well, considering that "True Irregular Acausality" would be unable to be conventionally harmed, i think the wiki allows stuff like Supernatural Luck to affect characters with this ability as long as the power doens´t direct affect the system of cause and effect
 
Like, Supernatural Luck causes Lucky things to happen, but a Type 4 would be outside of the cause and effect system
First, Type 4 is not outside of cause and effect
Second, supernatural luck is another version of probability manipulation.
So i don't think neither of them will be affect type 4 Acausality.
 
if the probability manipulation works for the user and not against the target with acausality type 4 it would still work but would not work on anything the type 4 is interacting with

for example if a bullet is luck buffed and is guaranteed to hit the enemy can dodge it

the lucky person can still induce lucky situation but it will fail to deliver when it comes to finally interacting with the Type 4.
 
First, Type 4 is not outside of cause and effect
probably should have worded as outside of a normal cause and effect system
Second, supernatural luck is another version of probability manipulation.
So i don't think neither of them will be affect type 4 Acausality.
Supernatural luck according the pages is said to be simillar, but work differently, with SL causing lucky or unlucky things to happen, while Probablity Manipulation, manipulates probablity itself
 
Generally speaking, Probability Manipulation wouldn't work against Type 4 Acausals unless proven otherwise. It's because Probability itself works with the systems of Cause and Effect to achieve outcomes. For something to have Probability, it requires that thing to be subject to causal change since Probability is the likelihood of something occurring. If you're abiding by a separate casual system, then the probability you're subjected to is assumed substantively different from another casual system's probability.

Supernatural Luck should work fine since Supernatural Luck doesn't inherently manipulate a universal law that Acausals are distinct from. Supernatural Luck just causes events to occur by happenstance. It isn't manipulating the fundamental law of Probability to achieve something unless stated otherwise. You can think of it as to why we don't assume interaction between a Type 4 Acausal and something that doesn't have Type 4 Acausality is inherently impossible despite interaction being a casual event. Both are causal-actions, but both aren't manipulating any structure in importance to one's placement in a causal system.
