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.{{qa ref|622|106}}
=== Regeneration ===
Hoid is able to regenerate body parts and even heal his soul if it is severed.{{qa ref|1071|2}} 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}} Hoid comments about his healing being repressed for a few days before his tooth grew back.{{Book ref|sa3|epilogue}} This ability comes from a magic system that "predates any of the others".{{wob ref|date=2017-11-21|8498|Oathbringer Chicago signing}} Presumably, this means that the magic system Hoid uses to heal himself is pre-Shattering.
=== 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}}
