Vryce:
Depends on your writing and direction.
A hive type mosters would have creation as a force a power. those with the most people win.
then there taking control of another force. love taking control of the destruction force... i love my mom, you called her a name now i punch you in the face.
bad example im at work and all, but you can kind of see it... kind of... ok maybe not

How about emotional power? Sex, love, famillial ties, etc.

My question here would be, how much do you want this power to be an objective thing, and how much inside people's heads ?
Nickeris86:
Are you looking for just real world power categories or are there also mystical ones as well.
as for some real world powers there are a few i can think of that could be considered part of one of those already mentioned but i think that they could also work well on their own.
Fear: There are some people that just scare the hell out of people for no good reason.
Subterfuge: I don't mean telling lies but more along the line of how Martin is just too boring. Some people just have a gift (?) for going unnoticed through society.
Wisdom: Some people just have more street smarts rather than book smarts
IQ: Just plain smarter than everyone else.
Perception: There are those that are just really good at noticing things that no one else would and utilizing that to their advantage.
Skill: Most people have something they are really good at naturally with little to no effort.
OZ:
This is somewhat vague to me. If you are talking armies or families, power might be "we reproduce much more quickly than you so we can overun you or replace our fallen more quickly than you." Endurance can also allow you to impose your will on the world around you. An example of this could be people who spend their entire lifetime working on some immense project. They change their world only a little at a time but it adds up.
