The Essence of Power; Status Manipulation

 Adapted from Status Manipulation- Superpower Wiki

Lately, I have been exploring various realms of genre fiction and wondering if there was a way to crash them together in a tabletop experience. This means figuring out a way to balance unrelated effects against each other. I love Mutants and Masterminds for its ability do describe almost any character ability you can think of, so I am experimenting with M&M’s tools to work on ways to fold multiple genres together.

Status Manipulation

The power to manipulate status/state of being. Sub-power of Absolute Change and Meta Power Manipulation. Ultimate variation of Attribute Manipulation and Boundary Manipulation. 

Also Called

Status Control

Capabilities

User can manipulate the state/status of anything/everything. Status can include things like alive or dead, active or sedentary, awake or asleep, human/god or mortal/immortal, weak or strong, healthy or injured, intelligent or not, quantity, quality, mobile or immobile, whether one heals from injuries or not, change or stagnation, whether something/anything or someone/anyone exists or not, what boundary anyone/anything is etc.

Since one's status is a broad-ranging power, virtually anything can be changed. Users of this power shares a boundary with Omnipotence users.
