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