Its generally related to Absorption (by storing stuff in one stomach) or Natural Weaponry (due enhanced bite), also enhanced metablism, but don't think we have a power for that.

Maybe having Consumption with Super Eating be a sub of it would be a good idea?
- 9,978

We do not have Consumption tho. However, since I plan to change (or expand) Superhuman Physical Characteristic (planning to call it Superior Condition), it could be convered there.

I agree that this should be an official page. It would work really well for Bloodborne's Great Ones.

Could the videogame thing where common food heals you be incorporated in that perhaps?
- 9,978
- 2,015
Unless the food have supernatural healing properties, or the character specifically heal itself by eating (absorption), that is generally game mechanics.

Do you mean something like Rail Walking/Grinding? May fall under Acrobatics (when we change acrobatic to Enhanced Mobility or something).

medical equipment mastery, for people with healing from medical equipment rather than an actual ability and for times like when Polnareff patched up the chunks vanilla ice had taken out of him with bits of curtain

Should there be a passive ability ability? I.e. the ability to have passive abilities. It would further encourage the mentioning of which abilities are passive and would be a good place to clarify our standards regarding stuff like that.

I think that's a good idea actually, could function similarly to the Resistance page on profiles, just adding "Passive" linking to the page before an ability.

This is a good idea but what would the standard format look like?
- 9,978
- 2,015
It would be more of a P&A category that a power by itself; not that I oppose to it.
- 4,451

It could just be another section like Resistances. Just have something like “Passives: Fear Manipulation” and you’re done. That’s actually a really good idea.
- 10,904
- 12,344
We have a few abilities like that. Like Magic or Durability Negation.
Of the page or on the profiles?
On the profiles, I guess one would simply go "Passive Ability1, Ability2, Ability3 and Ability4, Resistance to...." with Passive linked to the page.
The page format itself, would just be your usual P&A format, I guess.
So it might look something like this:

What do you mean with active? Everything that isn't passive?
- 9,978
- 2,015
Active abilities are the ones that requires initiative and awareness in order to be used.
- 10,904
- 12,344
Aren't that all non-passive ones?
Or am I missing something? Like, what would be an example of an ability that is neither active nor passive?

By general rule, powers are either active or passive; maybe you could add an independent category, that is basically whose effects act indpeendently of the users's stats and awareness.
And as additional note, passive powers wouldn't work while time doens't not passes (i.e, time stop), not by default.

I think I still can't quite wrap my head around it. If powers are either active or passive, then wouldn't it suffice to specify which are passive, as everything else can be assumed to be active then?
For independent: is it supposed to be a type of passive or an entirely separate ability entirely? Can you give an example that shows the difference between that and usual active and passive abilities?
Edit: Thinking about it again, do you mean what is basically a passive ability, but which needs to get activated by the character manually because they don't have it activated most of the time?
Sure, I can add that to the limitations.

Independent is basically that the attack happens independently of the character awareness and stat, but is not quite passive (take for example, and a flying flame around the character that has its own stats). Passives that needs to be activated first are a thing as well.

I meant abilities that have to be activated manually by the user or so (Rather than always being active), but once they are they are passive.

Hmmm... One could make two Types of passive, with that being one. It would probably save some revision work. On the other hand, it sounds like it would make notation on profiles kinda weird. Like "Passive (Type 1) Fire Manipulation, Water Manipulation and Mind Manipulation".
Soooo... I'm split. I guess I'm more in favour than against it.
Ok, I think I get it now. So you mean the ability to create an entity, object or supernatural effect, which independently can act according to its own judgement, which could vary in complexity from a defined pattern of actions to proper sentience.
If we do such an ability I would differentiate between two types. The first being something like the contingency spell in D&D, i.e. effects which are automatically activated if some condition is met. The other would be creation of something sentient or close to sentient that does combat on its own, which would include anything summoning related.

Would a weakness ability work?
Here's what I think:
Some characters are weak to certain things but to certain degrees.
I think it could be split into types but it doesn't have to:
Type 1 - Minor Weakness
This is where people may take more damage or experience more pain, it doesn't affect anything deep and just makes attacks of these kinds more efficient to use against people with this.
e.g Venusaur has a Type 1 weakness to Fire Manipulation
Type 2 - Concerning Weakness
This is where people who have this can suffer quite alot with it, their skin can be affected in a few cases and will cause the users lots of pain when they come across people who can counter them
e.g Dio from JJBA has a Type 2 Weakness to Hamon
Type 3 - Major Weakness
People can die from attacks that have this against them, usually put in critical state through one or a few attacks, this is the most severe version and users should have some way to protect them self
e.g Humans have a Type 3 Weakness to Rabies (without treatment)
It would probably be most used in Pokemon profiles but a few other characters from many, many verses will be able to use this as well, it may change up matches and it was ment to be an opposite to Resistances

If any, I would suggest to merge Psychometry with ESP, with not sure about merging Info Analysis as well. Nothing against the creation of Retrocognition.

Because some power pages were made without much thought in regards of if they were already covered or not. Honestly it's redundant and should be merged.
- 9,978

As a general rule, Enhanced Senses cover the conventional five senses, refering to those being heightened or simply having more awareness; meanwhile, ESP is having a sixth sense, it what cover stuff like clair-anything (clairvoyance, claircognition, clairempathy, etc.), psychometry, spider senses, etc.

Would it not be easier to just merge the two and set them as types? Type 1 would be enhanced physical senses and type 2 would be supernatural senses.
Regardless, Psychometry is a pretty useless page since it's just Retrocognition through the medium of touch. Tons of characters have retrocognition without the need for contact, like Clockwork, and gaining information from such a phenomenon would be Information Analysis, much like Tony Stark's holograms.

It would make sense, but it would also mean a lot of work to fix all profiles accordingly, given how common the two powers are.
