Editing Krieg (section)

==Abilities and Powers==
Krieg can affect kinetic forces in a wide radius around him, though the strength of his manipulation tapers off with distance (i.e., strongest in close proximity which gives him his [[Brute]] rating).<ref name="list">James Fleischer Krieg '''Wide range kinetic manipulation, more powerful closer to him, resulting in brute classification.''' E88 - [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1pgn9rgYutpBqJg1lSBP3NHnq9WK4ToLq9K4ys_I4cRc/edit#gid=0 Parahuman List], bolded edit by Wildbow</ref> For example, he can slow down, disrupt, or deflect hostile forces via controlled, unconscious alteration of air friction/resistance. Hostile enemies may have trouble breathing. In addition, his actions have increased results for energy involved: his punt sent [[Manpower]] flying through a brick wall.<ref name="SB ePowerNotes">Krieg's power affects kinetic forces in a radius around him. Hostile forces move slower or get disrupted/deflected by a controlled, unconscious alteration of air friction/resistance. Hostile enemies may have trouble breathing. His own actions have increased results for energy involved - he punts you and you can go flying through a wall (as Manpower does). Stronger effect as one gets closer to him. - Comment by Wildbow on [https://forums.spacebattles.com/threads/worm-quotes-and-wog-repository.294448/page-4#post-15197099 Spacebattles]</ref> However, sufficiently powerful kinetic attacks such as a melee charge from [[Leviathan]] can still take him out of the fight.<ref name="8.2 e1" />

[[Victoria_Dallon#Aura|Victoria's aura]] causes him to get angrier instead.<ref name="II9.11 e1">But Lung was part of the handful I’d fought where I could input fear and get ''anger''.  Dean had run into the same thing, with emotions other than fear returning the same output.<br><br>Some people, especially those of a more feral stripe, just processed things in a different way.  The upside was the tactical advantage in it, if I could adjust my expectations fast enough.<br><br>The downside was that I had to make that adjustment.  ''Most'' of my costumed fighting experience was that my enemies would hesitate, get sloppy, or back off, but Lung, like Bitch, like the cooler but still dangerous Krieg or the seemingly unflappable Victor who would still act ''differently'' when under the influence of my power, attacking faster and more recklessly.  They were the people who were angry at the world, or those with the natural predisposition to fight rather than fly. - [https://www.parahumans.net/2018/09/29 Excerpt] from [[Gleaming 9.11]]</ref>
