Quote: Superhuman (lift 10x bodyweight) wat I'd be amazed about characters hitting level 5 in strength consistently/"naturally", let alone surpass it. And by that, I mean I'd be impressed by a character who can do that (regularly) without any other powers or enhancements. Hell, Deitric only hits level 5 by activating a 100 percent CNS response in his body to activate every single muscle fiber possible, and that can actually rip muscles and put people into seizures. Also, on the Strength scale, it should note that it's measuring the ability to deadlift the weight, because that's the single most accurate measurement of bodily strength that I could think of. Not over-head press, or bench, or anything else.

Vahn Fah Gives Monster Island a whole new meaning. Coming from the guy that ripped off Meryl's hands. But yeah... Monster Island is something I'd agree with in a term for that. But the only difference between that and a lot of other characters' origin places is that there's a thread for it in here. Maxi's doing this whole Aria thing right now and that's a place full of freaks and monsters too. I'm sure Sierra's elftown likely has some ancient magic mixed in with the populous. It's "oh s**t, not even remotely human" but not like it's a unique thing.

Josh already knows I more or less agree on the categories since we've been on MSN. I've pretty much been using the vague tier ideas as a guide anyway, since I don't pay enough attention to athletic measurements to actually know numbers for anyone, anyway. If he alters it, Nikolai may go up a strength tier, but that'd be about it. Maybe it'd make Rivven one higher in agility, if he were there.
But it's mostly "normal sized people" vs "Athan, Ebris, and Nikolai" that breaks the strength scale. And the fact that in a combat measure "how fast can you run" seems less important than "can you spring off walls or run circles around people?"
Also don't see where anyone should really have to justify themselves on the chart. I felt like Rivven and Nikolai would make more sense with more than just numbers, and so I described Kael because I like to make my own personal things vaguely uniform if I can help it.
I mean, clearly that ten point spread is a heads up that "you probably need to put Ryugi/Joshua in a separate party from Kael and James," but, eh. It's a pretty vague game we play.
Knowing how to play well with others is more important.

The Darth Vizzle Quote: Superhuman (lift 10x bodyweight) wat I'd be amazed about characters hitting level 5 in strength consistently/"naturally", let alone surpass it. But the problem is that 10x weight for Athan is like 4-5000 lbs. 10x weight for Kael is like 1700. That means for each 'point' that Kael has in Strength, Athan is 3x as strong even if he has the same score. Hence why I feel we should remove that part. Since a HUGE GAI is still a HUGE GAI even if he can't lift 4x his HUGE WEIGHT.

Good thing for me I completely ignored everything fish said in a strategic bid to not have anything I posted up to this point undermined.

Well, bigger does usually equate to stronger.
I'm not sure how else you'd measure it, unless you started making sub categories, or different forms for different character archetypes.
Multiples of bodyweight is generally the most accurate representation of strength, especially because people vary in size, not in spite of it.
