[QUOTE="EarthSeraphEdna, post: 3853076, member: 49309"] When trying to determine the divine rank equivalent of a character from a non-comic and non-RPG source, should we assign a rank based what the character should be able to do in-game or what the character should be able to do plot-wise? For example, Galactus is an Old One in your system. According to the Theory of Superhero Relativity, he should be able to blow up a star as a low-end showing, a galaxy as a median showing, or a supercluster as a high-end showing. He should also be able to lift a galaxy as a median showing. In the stats you've given him, however, his Power Cosmic-enhanced kinetic bolts only deal 200d100 damage (average 10,100 damage), which is nowhere enough to one-shot the Earth (163,840 hp). Likewise, his Huge size and 145 Strength only give him a maximum heavy load of 2.684e7 tons, not even enough to lift a small mountain. If he uses the Power Cosmic to boost his Strength to 209, his maximum heavy load would only be 1.924e11 tons, only enough to lift the smallest of mountains. Let's take the Silver Surfer as another example, who would be a Lesser Deity in your system. The Theory of Superhero Relativity shows that he should be able to decimate a battleship/skyscraper as a low-end showing, a small moon as a median showing, or a star as a high-end showing. He should also be able to lift a small moon as a median showing. In his given stats, however, his 1d4-hour-recharge cosmic blast does only 200d4 damage (average 500) damage, not even enough to one-shot Mount Fuji (3840 hp). His 42 Strength and Medium size (incorrectly listed as Huge on the website) only lets him lift up to 8320 pounds or 4.16 tons, an extremely far cry from a small moon. How should this problem and possible catch-22 be dealt with when statting up divine and cosmic entities from other sources? [/QUOTE]
