Honesty and rationality ? Kudos to you ! I'm a big fan of those ^ ^

Plot Convenience can grant Plot Armor by narratively shrugging anything thrown at the character, but it can also make all sort of unlikely events to happen if they serve the story. Thinks of all the highly improbable coincidences that pile up over the course of virtually any story, like the way any conflict almost invariably escalates, one-in-a-million chances are realized all the time, and the X-Men remain feared and hated after 50 years of constantly saving the world, while the Avengers are global superstars and even street-level heroes have a large fanbase.

Most every story is full of these plot-serving probability distortions, and Plot Convenience is basically all of them wrapped up and processed into a superpower.
