This feels like a very jojo-esque ability that would actually be hilarious to face in the proper context. Think about how you would face such an opponent, and under what circumstances. The Fate series has a villain that owned every treasure originally, and another character that transforms any weapon he touches into his own.

How far can he push this ability? If he claims ownership of a paladin's holy symbol, can he cut off his powers? If he claims ownership of a wizard's spellbook, can the wizard still cast spells from it? What do you do when he claims the sorcerer's bloodline and grows dragon wings? What do you do when your summoned creatures no longer obey your commands, your hired muscle turns on you, the dog you've raised since a pup has turned on you.

How does this become enjoyable to face and not just function as "Uh no it doesn't work". Because it's inherently geared to function as that, what caveats would make this function?

Sounds more like a One Piece power. That is, sounds absurdly weak in name, but the character will probably start pulling complete bullshit to the point that "creates string" suddenly becomes "can shoot you like a gun, can fly, can create puppets as strong as himself, can heal grave injuries, can cut people, can control people and can kill everyone in an entire island... with string!"

So, it suddenly goes "oh, yeah, i took property of your skills and can now use them task master style!" or some shit.

>How would your party deal with a real villain whose superpower is to instantly claim legal ownership of anything,
so the villian has power over an abstract concept like "property" or "law"?

This villian can be defeated by simply stating that you don't recognize his claim, or that you don't recognize his laws. Laws are an abstract that can vary wildly from place to place, community to community.

So how do I defeat him? bash him over the head and take his shit, if he's unable to protect his stuff then clearly he doesn't deserve to have it. then kill him to make it a proper raid.

Depends on what "law" he means.
Does he have power relating to local law?
Kingdomly/National law?
Mortal law?
Does he have power over absolute law, being able to define whether something belongs to him on a metaphysical, absolute sense?

>>Try to bash stingy over the head
>>The baseball bat is his
what part of "ownership is an abstract concept" do you have trouble understanding? If I were to beat your villain to death with a bat it won't matter that it's legally his bat or not, it will still cave his skull in all the same.
>>
>>50800159
It belongs to him in an absolute sense, as does your ass.
>>
>>50800184
>It belongs to him in an absolute sense
again, it doesn't matter, the bat may be his, but that will not change anything, if i hit him with his own bat, the bat will still strike him. So, in what way will his claim of ownership shield him from physical violence? the answer is that it wont and this is a shit-tier villain power.
>>
>>50800159
Technically speaking, possession is a very concrete thing.
If something is YOURS, it means you have the power and ability to do anything you want to it within the limits of human ability.

Natural ownership can be defined differently from abstract ownership, with the latter simply serving to say that somthing is still yours even though you don't presently possess it.

If you're holding the baseball bat in your hands, it's yours.
If you aren't, it's not.

The baseball bat is his, so it's in his hands.
>>

...Take things from him, kill him, stay away from people who agree with him, stay away from cops.

Shifting goalposts. OP only said legal ownership, Legal ownership means all of jack and shit outside of a court of law
>>50800241
You don't seem to understand how "Legal ownership" works. Literally all his power would do is make it so that whatever the object is would be considered him in a court of law, it wouldn't teleport anything, he can't to anything special with it. It's actually a REALLY shit power since the second you use it too much someone's gonna cave your head in, oh wait, he owns that act too, so it was assisted suicide. WHOOPS
>>

>>50800295
The thing is, people have had this power. But it often failed them because all that has to happen for it to be destroyed is for people to stop putting up with your shit.

Easy. Try and drink something poisoned. He'll claim it as his and drink it instead.

>>50800959
You'd have to do it before he has claimed more than one life as his. Once he does, he'd just lose that lifespan instead and catch on to your trick.
>>
>>50800998
That doesn't work. He'll die of the poison, and then continue dying of the poison because it hasn't left his body.

Having an unlimited lifespan doesn't protect you from things that cut it short.
>>
>>50801053
But, what if he takes ownership of something that neutralizes the poison?

Yea we get it asshole, you're not the smart one in this conversation. The assumption is that the ownership becomes absolute to make the villain more interesting

This is a really good idea, his ownership wouldn't affect the outcome. Quickly taking ownership of any kinda shield won't do much good for B L A S T D A M A G E. But then again question remains if he can do anything with the abstract concepts he claims and who exactly enforces violations.

Why? That discussion clearly steered away from legally owning things to possession because otherwise this thread would boil down to "I use a rock". Legally owning things doesn't matter if there's no one to enforce consequences of what you have. 99% sure everyone in this thread understands that dude, stop being a snowflake.

Anyways regarding my group, the paladin would start praying and consult his order until I throw him a bone of +1 go do your job. The dwarf is a hobo and in his delusion that he has no ownership would get himself killed. The other two would probably try to get employed by the villain
>>
>>50800111
If he believes you're up to something and he sees you hiding something, he's going to automatically claim it as his own.

You could abuse this by pulling the pin out of a grenade and letting him claim it, thus teleporting the grenade into his hand. Or, failing that, you could just throw it at him.

You know what? You wouldn't even have to do that. Just attack from out of range, or sight- Drop a missile on his head or blow him away with artillery. If he can't see it coming, he can't claim it. And even if he does claim the weapon being used to attack him, what's he going to do to stop a missile coming at him out of the sky?
>>
>>50805091
What if he claims the gravity or consistency of whatever is going in his direction.
>>
>>50796324
No, that's not how that works. It'd still be a murder. It doesn't matter who owns the gun, what matters is who pulls the trigger.

>inb4 he claims ownership of your hand
Still murder.
>>
>>50805170
Then, assuming that it's teleported to him, like any object he claims, then he's either thrown to ground at missile force, or blown up.
>>
Just enchant something you know he'd claim ownership over with some kind of lethal curse that causes its owner to die after a day or so and that you can only lose ownership from if its taken by force.

His only way to get rid of the curse would be to get mugged.
>>
Really, the only way to beat him would be to fight him with a master thief at your side.

He would need to be a master of disguise, able to vanish in front if your eyes. He would need to have the ability to be in many places with his many funny faces while in disguise.

>>50783043
It depends on a small detail.
By claiming that something/something's abstract concept is his and his only, can he destroy them effortlessly, like we can destroy an object that we own?
Is he full Envelope Logistics tier?

>>50805170
What if he claims ownership of the concepts of life and death? Of physics?

I legally own about 100 pounds worth of weights, but that doesn't mean I can effortlessly destroy them. Maybe if I got a hammer and really worked at it, but it's far from effortless.
>>
>>50802814
