* Worldhopping - Hoid is very good at manipulating Shadesmar.{{qa ref\|428\|102}} He can travel to any world he likes, and can even use this ability to move swiftly around a single planet and to get to otherwise inaccessible areas, like the Well of Ascension.{{17s ref\|post\|42244}} However according to [[Rock]] when he encountered Hoid he had to ask [[Rock]] what time it was in the [[Horneater]] calendar, which may mean that while he is very good at getting around places he does not always know when he will arrive on a planet (locally speaking) or that his worldhopping is inprecise in terms of the time it takes for him to travel somewhere.{{book ref\|sa2\|46}} * Feruchemy - Hoid uses Feruchemy to gain limited foresight--he knows where he needs to go and when he needs to be there.{{qa ref\|689\|4}}{{qa ref\|895\|2}} * Allomancy - Hoid ~~retreived~~retrieved a bead of Lerasium from the Well of Ascension so that he could become an allomancer.{{qa ref\|1013\|1\|Hoid has a metal he isn't supposed to have\|date=Dec 18th, 2011}}{{qa ref\|1047\|9\|Did Hoid use his bead for Feruchemy?\|date=Mar 29, 2014}} Brandon has been very careful with his wording{{qa ref\|1047\|15\|Is Hoid an allomancer?\|date=Mar 29, 2014}}, so it is unclear if he used it for that purpose, but he does appear to consume metal in Shallan's flashback the same way an allomancer would.{{book ref\|sa2\|45}}{{qa ref\|1073\|1}} Brandon also said that he did it to make people act a certain way, implying that he was burning [[brass]] or [[zinc]].{{qa ref\|1048\|29\|What alloy did Hoid drink?\|date=Mar 20, 2014}} * Extremely long life and time dilation{{qa ref\|622\|106}} - Hoid is far older than any human could really live. He also hasn't lived through all those years. He can move swiftly forward in time, but has not yet traveled backwards in time. * Awakening - Hoid likely has a [[Breath]], something that a scene in Words of Radiance seems to confirm, as he mentions how playing an instrument was easier now with 'perfect pitch' - something granted to those with the Second Heightening.{{qa ref\|949\|11}} * Regeneration - Hoid is able to regenerate body parts and even heal his soul if it is severed.{{qa ref\|1071\|2\|If Hoid got beheaded, would his body grow a new head?\|date=Mar 4th, 2014}} He is unafraid of Jasnah's Shardblade saying, "I'd be surprised if that little knife of yours poses me any real threat ...." Sanderson has also said that Hoid would do well in a fight between all his protagonists because he is "really, really, really hard to kill."{{qa ref\|1044\|9}} * Inability to hurt others - Hoid cannot easily kill people "because of certain things in his past."{{qa ref\|1044\|9}} Rock says he cannot hurt man because it is forbidden by other gods.{{book ref\|sa2\|46}} He also tells a young Shallan, "You needn't fear me. I'm terribly ineffective at hurting people. I blame my upbringing."{{book ref\|sa2\|45}} Hoid ~~apologises~~apologizes to Kelsier after beating him in a fight, stating he doesn't have the inclination to do real harm to him.{{book ref\|msh\|1, Part Two}} ==Storytelling Method==
