[QUOTE="Upper_Krust, post: 3163432, member: 326"] Hiya mate! :) The lead weapon or bullet would deal more damage, but it would have a lower hardness and be more susceptible to damage itself. I like that because it actually makes sense. The D&D alternative is that all supernatural strength cannot be inherent and would evaporate with anti-magic (or dead magic). Not if the Moon itself only has 60,000 hit points (or thereabouts). Not if a Kiloton only deals 160d10 damage (or whatever it was). Okay, I sort of agree with you on this side of things. :o Surely Str 360 (for medium) is +23 VSC (each VSC is +15) So it would deal 1d4+175 (although in retrospect that looks ludicrous. The chances are that if you used your full strength to deal a blow with a non-super tough/dense weapon that you would simply destroy the weapon and deal damage as if you were making an unarmed attack) 960d10+175 with an unarmed strike (avg. 5455) 1920d10+175 with a bite (avg. 10,735) 3840d10+175 with a very heavy greatsword (avg. 21,295) Well for the 3840d10, I would probably just roll 15 d10. 3d10 = 1000s 8d10 = 100s 4d10 = 10s Bah! Wheres the fun in that! :p I just see those big numbers as unnecessary. Well given that the planet Earth would have slightly less than 100,000 hit points under my system, being able to deal 5000, 10,000 or 20,0000 damage with a single hit is nothing to sniff about. I wasn't offering. :p I was just pointing out that it seems like a lot of work for you. ;) Once campaigns get to that level of power they are inherantly 'comic-y'. Well, whatever you think mate.
