A subversion of [[Plot Induced Stupidity]] usually used for [[Played for Laughs|comic relief]]. We know sometimes characters [[How Do I Shot Web?|have trouble mastering their powers]], but sometimes, established powers seem to just get forgotten entirely. They find themselves in a dire situation where any normal person would be in serious trouble. They start to panic... and then they remember, oh yeah, I have [[Stock Super Powers|superpowers]]/[[Magic and Powers|magic]]/[[Magic From Technology|advanced technology]]. Also seen from companions and enemies that forget about frequently-used powers. This is a very common subversion of the [[Acrophobic Bird]].

* ''[[The Order of the Stick]]'' has [http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0066.html Vaarsuvius reminding Elan] about his bard-magic abilities. Elan forgetting his class features is actually a [[Running Gag]], since he is [[The Ditz]].
** In another strip, Durkon swings at an attacking goblin with his hammer and misses twice. However, when others remind him about the bonuses he forgot to add to his attack, he realizes that he hit after all- and sure enough, the goblin [[Puff of Logic|is retroactively pummeled into submission.]] He'd be a great fighter if he had a better head for numbers.
** Also, other characters {{spoiler|used to}} remind V about the familiar that comes with the wizard class. Although that is also poking fun at players forgetting their familiars.
