No but the strong man cannot kill the fat man with a single punch, but the fat man can sustain much more damage because they are the same tier. To wit...Butterbean the boxer was a huge tub of lard but he could knock out faster, physically much stronger fighters, and he himself was also knocked out by them.

Ah. So basically, we don't have to invest in defenses at all, because they scale automatically with tiers?

Edit: As in, we don't need to write on the character sheet; "This guy is really sturdy." - Because we can all go by the assumption that they're as sturdy as everyone else in the tier, yeah?
