It's easier to just say how much they can lift to give an approximation, simply because sitting down and doing the math on how fast and hard a character can punch is fucking tedious.Also, speed is super important in how much force your punch carries. If you can't swing your arm fast then you aren't gonna carry any significant force.

Or the technique behind the punch, not to mention any abilities that allows one to amplify their kinetic force.

I think we're vastly underestimating physical strength, and grossly overestimating magical ability. Contrary to popular belief, human punches are rather destructive. For the record, professional boxers like Mike Tyson more or less wield their fists like small war-hammers; if one of these guys were to hit you in the head, it would be like someone crushing your face inward with a club, most likely leaving you with brain damage. Tyron's surreal punching power is most likely derived from his physical strength, mass (throwing his body weight into the punch), his lack of 'arm punching', his act of pivoting during the punch, and his foot work. Additionally, these fighters have conditioned themselves to withstand such blows, putting them several notches above the average man or woman. Granted, such high-power impacts are cushioned by the boxing gloves they wear as well as small tactics used on the target's behalf--such as dodging and weaving and stepping forward into the punch to lessen the distance the punch travels in midair---but it's still impressive stuff. I believe Tyson had a punching power rated at 1,750-2,000 psi, which is nearly twice that of the bite force generated by a spotted African hyena, with this animal more than capable of breaking bones with its jaws. And this is at low-tier. I don't want to imagine what a high-tier rated punch is like.

I pretty much made that apparent with Snar's almost insane punching strength, which if anything is probably lower then it should be. But, Schradinger is also talking about lifting strength in terms of at least some basic ranged attacks. He seems to be concerned about the lack of things such a character can use in their environment to even the odds against someone that can fly and fart magic dust out their arse.

Haha, likely the plan of a race who thought themselves stronger xD

Thinking on it, it kind of makes sense. After all what do the Orc's love more then a good fight?

That's basically my biggest issue at the moment. I have no clue why a near-unreachable civilization on a completely separate continent (if you could call Pyandonea that) would exit their 5,000 year isolation and suddenly try to immerse themselves in the local politics. I have no lack of ideas for Pyandonea itself, but justifying their sudden interest in Tamriel in some believable manner is proving difficult.

It may not be as hard as we might think, perhaps they have silently been observing what has been taking place on the main continent, have seen the foolishness of men cause the Oblivion Crisis, perhaps they might share their bother Mer's concerns that the race of man will destroy itself and all of them with it if left unchecked and unguided. The Races of men are young after all and have much to learn.

It's kind of a bio copy of the Thalmor's goals sure, but it's not implausible and self preservation is a strong enough notion to make such a drastic change. Perhaps the Thalmor have been feeding them lies the entire time about the Empires plans to invade them, or maybe their over fishing, I don't know. But there are a few possibilities.

On the topic of increasing strength output at higher tiers;It's worth noting that we're only talking about increasing physical strength here. As it is, physical strength is vastly inferior to any magical ability a high-tiered character can pop up with. Speed, destructive ranged prowess and such, will, and should, be left alone. It's not about increasing the power, but making sure that when A has a passive shield or armor that can withstand a punch from someone able to lift 100 tons, B can still punch through it. Take my ridiculously large and impractical mecha as an example; there's not a single character that can punch through that hull with his fists.

I'd argue nothing short of hulk or superman could punch through that mech, and their strength is officially incalculable.

As it stands, the gap between intermediate and high is already quite large. Honesty I don't see how many of the current intermediate could fight high, to the point they may as well be separated entirely.

So I'd agree with melon in that buffing high tier even more would be unwise.

Could I get an opinion on this guy and where he's at tier wise according to the current system, and how he can scale accordingly? I plan on bringing in a grown-up version of him.

Looks like an intermediate to me, I assume the Hellzooka's ammunition at base is around the same destructive power of a normal RPG.

Looking for a match.

Hmmm, why do I feel like I have met you before...

Anyway I'd be willing to fight you, assuming we're using T1. There's a PC I want to test out.

I might be posting in Alter-earth, mostly to observe it seems, as it looks like Melon has everything under control.

I swear Fury will never need assistance or help baring anything short of demi-god PC's popping in to say hello.

I was a little bit surprised.

I'm more disappointed then surprised.

Anyway, that seems to be the end of it, let's all no longer talk about it and take this chance to focus on RPing, something I assume we are all here for.

Wow, holy shit.

Can't say I'm surprised.
