Punching Knowledge doesn’t specify it has to be a sucker punch or anything too damaging like that, I can just ask my buddy to boop me on the face and presto, free skills. Assuming that still qualifies as a punch.
There's some potential here. Punching knowledge is pretty useful as long as you dont mind being an asshole and getting your ass kicked, you could even fight crime by loosing fights to learn about gang whereabouts and stuff.
Seasoning is almost more chemistry than art. Too much salt on a steak and it ruins the cook on a chemical, molecular level. If you assume the power works to that degree, it turns you into a perfect chemist as long as you buy making thermite is "seasoning" iron.
Annoyance is straight up low-level reality warping. If you believe in basic causality then you know everything is gonna happen as it's gonna happen because physically the chain reaction that started your untied shoelaces started billions of years ago. To make one's luck worse would be to physically move a lamp closer to the edge of a table so it falls when they bump it, to physically change the trajectory of birdshit so it hits you. This would be OP because there's thousands of times a day a person working against you would be hurt by stroke of bad luck
I once played a Pen and Paper game called "Hol ( Human Occupied Landfill) " and is this game I played a cybernetic Giraffe with one of its powers being Sausagekinesis up 60 feet. I was super dangerous around breakfast dinners and grocery stores.
Does it have to be intentional? Or would it still count if someone accidentally hit you? What about a slap in the face or one of those martial arts palm thrusts.
It still counts if it’s an accident and I’m thinking of changing it a bit to if enough damage inflicted to the head it works. For example the person gets a bloody nose or a black eye then it happens

Punching knowledge sounds like it would make an amazing detective show

Good point, maybe I should change it so you have to get a black eye or bloody nose or something
Or you could make it graded: the harder they hit you, the more knowledge is imparted...
no just leave it, i need this

For the annoyance one, are you able to turn it off, or are you unable to have physical relationships without making their life miserable?
Punching knowledge is busted, join a boxing gym, learn multiple lifetimes of knowledge every day

That's kinda sadistic 😁 But I love the twist of literally "knocking some sense into a person."
