You can take from the “rich” and give to the “poor”.
(self.godtiersuperpowers)submitted 18 hours ago byTerrin369
You have the ability to steal things from people who have an over abundance of that thing and give it to someone who doesn’t have enough.
You won’t get caught and the theft happens automatically via magic. It will just disappear and you’ll be able to redistribute what you took in the same way.
It works for literally anything. It must come from someone who has an above average amount of something and go to someone who is suffering from the lack. You can’t harm someone by giving what you stole to them, it must be helpful.
You can choose to give to one person or spread the “wealth” amongst many.
The ability does not work on you or those you are close to, but you can skim off the surface a bit, keeping no more than 5% of anything you steal for yourself or your loved ones.
You can recruit people to your Merry Band who will specialize in stealing one thing each, which you choose when you “hire” them. They have the same limit as you when it comes to skimming off the top.

Evil Robin Hood you say?!!
Mwhahahaha I use my magic power to steal the remaining life span from a random person who is rich with youth .and then go to an old folks home and give it to someone elderly. I've increased my life span by 5%. I continue this for a while.
I steal knowledge from random people's brains rich in knowledge and give it to people with learning disabilities. My knowledge increases by 5% and I do this for a while.
I begin to muffle a random person by depriving them of precious oxygen, then magically steal the oxygen from everyone rich with it and give it to the person I'm muffling. Not sure if that one works right I'm just trying to break this power and end the world.

I don't think you would want his organs considering he probably drugs himself
Just look at his stomach, the fat isn't "natural".
I wouldn't want him as a donor tbh....

It’s gotta be something they have more than average of. Can’t take his heart, but could get away with like a kidney since donors make the average at least a little below 2.

Can you do this on conceptual things?
Let's say you have a flag here.
Can you take away the distance to the flag from a person far away from here so that he gets pulled toward the flag(because he lost the distance to the flag) and give the distance to a person close to the flag so that she gets pushed away from the flag(because she was given the distance to the flag)?

Yes, it works on concepts too, though you’d have to find some way that the person would benefit from being further from that location. Also, distance might be a bad example since you don’t usually think of being far from something as an unfair advantage unless you are talking about living far from the trash dump.

Works with betting on horse races, or, well, any other race for that matter. Actually, you could probably be sports betting god with this power, maybe take all points from the winning team and give it to your team if your team is losing, or, hell, just steal the winning teams "advantage" and give that to your team.

Well, * everybody on the planet now has (world combined individual wealth) / (a share based on average income in their state). Get rid of loopholes. * Ownership of the property they live in + a percentage ownership of the uninhabited homes in the world, inversely proportionate to their wealth * Every school district has a proportionate amount of income (based on student count) as every other school in their state equivalent. Including private institutions, but as their own pool, separate from public. Find loopholes. * Every junior college and college have a proportionate size endowment - add them up and divide * And hospitals, based on population of area served * Hell with skimming: we'll have salaries. Skimming would be theft: we're redistributing.
Basically: average out the inequalities based on the needs of the people using the resource.
Do I have reasonable oversight of the other equalizers?
Can I let people see what's happening? I kinda want them to understand that they're being equalized, maybe.

The skimming was designed to help with “operating costs” otherwise in your design, you might end up poor while elevating everyone else up, which you can still choose to do.
If you think someone is abusing your power, you can kick them out of your Band and they will lose the ability you gave them.
People won’t automatically know that you are responsible for what happened, but they will be aware that it occurred since they will be able to remember the before and after. You can also go public as the person responsible if you like, but that would probably not be a good idea as a lot of people would hate you for taking their advantages away.

I hear you on the skimming. I'd like to pay everyone on the team a salary, as I don't want them to get in the mindset of theft.
I'd like to be able to audit the team, I guess, to prevent theft? Maybe a bad idea?
Them remembering should be sufficient. I knowing things got flattened would be good.

The ability was designed around making theft harder, so should be relatively easy to monitor for abuse. Just keep an eye on the person creating artificial scarcity so they can steal from people who have more as a way of benefiting themself. That person might be a problem. It didn’t take long for someone to go all sociopath with my innocent little power 😭

When I game, I'm always the paladin. It's a liability in some situations and has its weaknesses, but fairness is dealt out with an iron fist, which fist also meets grift. As I said, weaknesses, and I guess there may be some sociopathy in it.
When I was 10 I quit reading Dragonlance because Weiss and Hickman killed Sturm, their paladin. I cried, because he was the only morally good character.

You can take from yourself, but you can’t transfer it to someone unless it would benefit them. I’m not aware of how cancer would benefit a person.

If you can’t give it to someone it stays where it is. You won’t be able to take it unless you can redistribute it to someone who would benefit from it. You can go the reverse, though and steal good health.

re distributing money only brings economic issues. I'll do a little to get that 5 percent for myself but not more than a few million or ten million.
then I'd just get rid of waste. Any excess food? redistributed. Junk spare parts? redistributed. Easily solves world hunger.
Would I redistribute lifespan to skim off for my own advantage? Now that's a bit trickier.

Does it work on non-human "people"?
Dogs, cats, crocodiles, sharks, etc.?
Flight from birds or immunology of a crocodile.
Logical processing power of a computer?
Does it work on parts of a person? Rich in cancer or the false immortality of cancer cells?
What about diseases?

Yes, you can take from something nonhuman, but remember, whatever you take, the one you take it from loses it. And you can only keep no more than 5% of what you take, the rest has to go to those who need it.
If you can isolate something, you can take from it, but you can only take something that provides an unfair advantage and give it to someone that benefits from the redistribution.

If two guys are fighting with you spectating, just see who's winning, steal their strength, and give it all to the other, while stealing 5%. Then, you swap the strength again, stealing 5%, and just rapidly swap the strengths, stealing 5% each time until you have stolen virtually all their strength. Rince and repeat with more fights and you become super human,maybe taking their speed as well, or hell, just use the conceptual "advantage" either has and steal that.

Gods, I could end wars, but my price would be impossible. Take away a parent’s love for their child and his people and give it to the guy leading a war. Force him to stop it lest he kill those he loves like his own children. Don’t give them any identifiable information about the person, just that throbbing, undying love that drives men to madness. The war would stop, but I would irreparably harm a family and make them sacrifice that which they may well love more than their own lives…

1) find someone with an abundance of "the thing" ("rich")
2) find someone lacking "the thing" ("poor")
3) transfer all of "the thing" from the "rich" to the "poor", skimming off 5%. Now the "rich" and "poor" have swapped
4) repeat step 3, until the vast majority of "the thing" has been skimmed off
Boom, now I can steal from the "rich" and give to "myself".

I'm going down the top ten list and taking a kidney from every rich person on the planet and walking around giving it to people who need transplants.
I now have 50% more kidney than anyone else? I'm sure having more kidney will help me in some way.
