* In ''Webcomic/SluggyFreelance'' the Fate Spiders' ability to manipulate the Web of Fate is the inverse of how this power often works. They have ''incredible'' amounts of precision over which events they change the probability of, but how much they can alter probability is severely limited; they can only affect the outcome of events when the odds of one thing happening instead of something else are almost 50/50, like making someone decide to get pizza to eat instead of burgers. They have to make use of their [[{{Seers}} immense knowledge of destiny]] and lots of ForWantOfANail moments to accomplish anything of significance, and even then someone who's ImmuneToFate can still muck it up.

* In ''Series/DirkGentlysHolisticDetectiveAgency'' Bart's calling as a "holistic assassin" works like this. So long as she wanders around killing anyone she feels like she's supposed to kill, luck favors her to the point she's unstoppable. Guns pointed at her fail to fire or miss and the bullets rebound to her advantage, no matter how sloppily she aims a gun it will kill her target, whatever route she chooses will evade police despite no particular attempt to hide from them, and any bonds constraining her will happen to break when she decides to free herself.

* ''Literature/ConstanceVeritySavesTheWorld'': Bonita reveals that the caretaker spell -- the spell that makes Constance TheChosenOne -- gives her a form of probability manipulation. While much of Connie's success ''is'' skill-based, the balance of triumph and tragedy intrinsically connected to her role as the caretaker depends on her being able to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory at the last second. With the Engine destroyed and the caretaker destiny removed from her in ''Literature/TheLastAdventureOfConstanceVerity'', Connie's PlotArmor is slowly wearing out, resulting in more close calls until eventually she'll meet a grim end.
