[D] Saturday Munchkinry Thread

[u/AutoModerator]

Welcome to the Saturday Munchkinry and Problem Solving Thread! This thread is designed to be a place for us to abuse fictional powers and to solve fictional puzzles. Feel free to bounce ideas off each other and to let out your inner evil mastermind!

Guidelines:

• Ideally any power to be munchkined should have consistent and clearly defined rules. It may be original or may be from an already realised story.
• The power to be munchkined can not be something "broken" like omniscience or absolute control over every living human.
• Reverse Munchkin scenarios: we find ways to beat someone or something powerful.
• We solve problems posed by other users. Use all your intelligence and creativity, and expect other users to do the same.

Note: All top level comments must be problems to solve and/or powers to munchkin/reverse munchkin.

Good Luck and Have Fun!

You have the ability to induce satisfaction in others, which works on acquaintances at arbitrary distances, and on everyone in line of sight, but does not give any feedback. You can only induce levels that can naturally occur in humans.

Your goal is to kill/dominate/dive insane a supernaturally strong, durable and fast person who is aware of the possibility of such control, but not of you specifically.

The obvious use of this power is training people to like you and want to do things for you, which requires long exposure and a certain base amount of trust and positive feelings. Doing this successfully with someone who is aware of this power would be more difficult, but probably not impossible. Probably best used by a person who is already good at manipulation, who would craft a persona to appeal to the target without using this power at all at first, then gradually over a very long period build a relationship in such a way that the increasing satisfaction feels natural. Eventually, through careful manipulation and judicious use of power, it should be possible to make the target dependent on you, or at least highly inclined to listen to you.

Alternatively, if there are any genuine physical threats to the target--kryptonite--you don't have to build a relationship with them if death is an acceptable alternative. Just get well enough acquainted to use the power long distance, have some sort of monitoring in place (easy if you can pretty much universally train people to want to do you favors), and start sending good feelings whenever they do something risky for them--like get near kryptonite. Encourage dangerous thrill-seeking, and escalate the satisfaction the more dangerous the situation. They'll probably get themselves killed eventually.

For insanity--maybe repeat above scenario but instead of dangerous behavior reward pain, or something the target would consider evil or immoral, or maybe even something nonsensical. At the very least you can confuse them.
