[QUOTE="Upper_Krust, post: 5881770, member: 326"] Howdy historian matey! :) Everything except the time taken to finish a book is going great at the moment. :o Hope you have been keeping well yourself? Cool. Never really seen MERP (although I know what it is). I'll try my best. High Lord...40,000 Hit Points in AD&D. Most powerful observed attack - creating a supernova (about 4000 damage). Demiurge (Stage 3)...6400 Hit Points in AD&D I actually bought COIE last year (to read on the holiday flight) and worked out the power of the Anti-monitor using my Punchometer system (comicbook battle calculator) for every different scene he's in. Converting that to AD&D... Most powerful (Demiurge Stage 1)...3200 Hit Points in AD&D. Least powerful (Greater God)...400 Hit Points in AD&D. Very difficult to calculate. The Hunger is probably something similar to an Umbral. The Hunger absorbed all attacks and they only managed to defeat it by unleashing an attack that overloaded its current form. My guesstimate is that you would need to deal more than its maximum hit points in damage to kill it. Otherwise the attack deals no damage. The absorption process needs a bit more thought though. It would need to have an upper and lower threshold...off the top of my head... Add damage from attacks to the monster's permanent hp total unless the damage is less than 25% of its current total. e.g. So, if it had 100 hit points and you dealt 50 damage from one attack, then you add 50 hit points. But you wouldn't add any hp from attacks dealing 25% or less of the current hp. Galactus would have 1200 hit points. The attack of the planetary collision (+nukes) must have been in and around the 1200 hp mark (since Galactus was almost killed). Therefore we know that Hunger didn't have more than 1200 hp using the above method. Lesser God...approx. 200 Hit Points in AD&D NB. The comic book Thor would only be a Demigod in AD&D terms (where Odin is still a Greater God). Hope the above helps as a start. As a quick rule of thumb when working out damages, divide hp by 10 to get the base average...then add strength bonuses. ie. the Living Tribunal has 40,000 hp so he could deal about 4000 damage from a single attack (on average).
