fortunesmilesGOD ABILITY:
Probability Manipulation - Komaeda has the power to alter the probability of something happening, effectively giving him the power to influence good or bad fortune as a god of luck. He can, for example, increase the odds of someone winning the lottery, or of someone being hit by a car when crossing the street. Of course, the more inherently long the odds are, the more power it takes for him to guarantee it will happen. Making a limb drop off a zombie in the TDM prompt, for example, wouldn't take a lot of power; they're already rotting. Making a meteor hit one would take a much more significant expenditure of his energy, and would be next to impossible before he'd gained strength/followers as a god. (And, of course, for anything that was so near statistically impossible, I'd be checking not just with the other player, but the mods for permission to do it. Anything literally possible, obviously, he can't make happen, because that probability is set at 0%.)
When not aiming for a specific outcome, but rather simply trying to give one or several people either good or bad luck in a more generalized way, Komaeda is required to give the matter his full concentration, and it requires increasing amounts of effort for each person affected, the intensity of the effect he's trying to achieve, and how long he sustains the effort for. Extremes of luck are impossible to achieve in this non-specific manner.
OTHER ABILITIES: Komaeda's luck borders on the supernatural, though it swings back and forth between favoring and punishing him - usually to violent extremes. (We're talking winning entirely different lotteries multiple times on one hand, a meteor strike killing his parents on a moving airplane on the other. In the game, he plays Russian roulette with a gun with five bullets in it, and wins; in the stage show, he takes a gun with one bullet in it and fires it at his temple five times. You cannot exaggerate the extremes his luck goes to.) He has learned how to control this to some degree, however; by intentionally causing himself injury or misfortune, he can influence his good luck to kick in when he needs it for something he's trying to accomplish. Usually, however, the luckiest and unluckiest events of his life are outside his ability to predict or influence at all, and that trend would likely continue for him even as a god. (The rule seems to be that Komaeda only has any kind of predictability in regards to his luck, and only ever consciously manipulates it, when he's acting with intent - never when he's just going about his daily life. We only see him manage it in canon when he goes out of his way to take action in schemes of his own devising, schemes that actually rely on his luck to work. Usually, the more he wants an outcome to happen, the worse he has to suffer for it.)
