@Bitterman you forgot to add
[Transformation] + [Invisibility] + [Energy Manipulation] + [Clairvoyance] + [Clairvoyance] = [Intangibility]
To known samples.

BTW is it just me but doesnt Penitent Scholars powers kinda seem like High Potency Phasewalking? Since he can teleport while also being invisible in some way.
From what we've seen I feel like it lacks an invulnerability or invisibility aspect to be Phasewalking, although I suspect he might be able to heal or revive himself by "switching" to a timeline where he didn't take an injury.

It's also kind of similar to the teleportation field Silvio used in Eidolon, isn't it? Although a lot less limited.

It might even be the same underlying technobabble. Silvio's power was explained with quantum mumbo jumbo, which has to do with an object being in multiple states at the same time and then collapsing to a single state when observed. Fictional interpretations of this almost always involve being able to do cool stuff while "unobserved".

Penitent Scholar moves in much the same way.

If it is indeed quantum mechanics, then I'm not really sure what is the best keyword. It is a fundamental principle, but not a force. Spacetime isn't being unduly manipulated (since the real world already supports quantum mechanics), and I would hesitate to label it phasewalking unless there is explicitly quantum tunneling involved.

Maybe its a combination of mental manipulation and enhanced speed? Going so fast you deceive even reality itself?
Probably not, and I really shouldnt be speculating at 12:30 am. Lol

It's probably the same keyword Arc has - because her power has some conceptual nonsense going on.

Same with the Seventh Hour, I assume, given that it appears she can manipulate probability to an extent, on top of knowing them?

Timeline stuff is probably some kind of synergy we don't currently know about, if I had to guess. Possibly a combination of Space-Time Manipulation and FFM? Phasewalking also could be a component, although I feel like that's not quite right.

Arc could have a new synergy or keyword, but I think it's possible she's also just Biokinesis and maybe some kind of Clairvoyance or Precog to recognize incoming attacks.
 
Depends on if her power would activate in response to a backstab/betrayal attack automatically that she didn't see or hear coming.
I'd guess not, based on the way she needs to know the right question to ask (which is why she's so off regarding project Prometheus).

But perhaps she often asks "likelihood of imminent death".

I for one cannot wait to go up against her and roll like, 1d5 instead of 1d20.
 
7 seems like she almost definitely has Analytical Precognition, but I'd bet she also has like, Probability Manipulation as a synergy (or whatever it would be).

It does look like she can ensure an outcome happens no matter how low the probability base on her confidence in fucking up WH. Though likely its only on her personal actions since if she could ensure JU fails or doesnt attack she would do it.

Her power seems to let her know the exact action she should take to ensure a specific outcome, no matter how unlikely. But as you said it seems limited to some kind of direct personal scale - she can't just select all of JU and know how to stop them from attacking Elysium.

Probably needs to take her down by stealth so she cant use her power to find a way to beat or escape an enemy.

Or put her against something she has no probability of beating. She could overcome White Hawk's invulnerability, but we already know it's good, but not super incredible, so there is definitely a level that she just hits a true 0% and has nothing she can do.
 
Or tie her victory to a bad outcome that can only be avoided by losing, not winning/fighting. Suppose she fights Lady Leizi, a Lady Leizi who has prepared for her defeat or death by creating a dead man's switch that will release all of the secrets and blackmail she's gathered. If this release leads to an outcome that is antiethical to her goals then Lady Leizi will win the encounter.
 
Ironically enough, my brain jumps to a marvel mutant who's power is to win ( anything bets( including those who bet on her) , competitions , battles etc, ) and then which jumps to switching sides because that's the way to gain victory
 
Hey @Bitterman not sure if this has been asked before but considering the fact that Dreamcatcher's powers require him to actually have dreams in order to function, does he have required secondary powers that 1. guarantees he dreams when he sleeps and 2. is capable of remembering his dreams. I know mechanically he's guaranteed to have something just curious about the inworld lore.

She beats Black Swan by some combo of trickery, ambush, and threatening hostages. Now she just needs to destroy her core.
*focuses on her power*
Use your [FORKLIFT] to move the core to the nearest [MATTER-ANTIMATTER COLLISION ENGINE].
"Just say 0% you stupid piece of shit!"

Just tagging onto this, would his powers be disabled by anesthesia making him 'sleep' chemically instead of naturally or any other method of interfering with natural sleep?
Has he ever tried to fight sleep to keep a really neat dream-get for a little longer?
