    If you want to scale it this way, Sancho did still physically overpower his own lance and broke it with her own in their final clash. There's still some semblance of scaling there unless you want to say only the big ball applies, or how he was effectively load-bearing La Manchaland the entire...

    Except in the case of the Black Box we cannot even discern how literal it's meant to be - it doesn't have the same kind of effect in-game as the energy weapons, nor is the blurb statement that explicit. Because that would be the requirement for something to be vaporized by said thing, to scale...

    That's not what my statement is trying to imply, but rather calling to question the necessity for this blurb to be saying that yes this weapon does indeed vaporize tanks when neither of the quotes provided say as much. Being a "tank buster" or "sending it back to their mothers" could be as...

    Yes, because he sent the tanks back to their mothers. That's not what I was getting at, just that in this part of the blurb it's either non-specific or not literal in his phrasing. It's probably why what was only initially applied was a reference to reducing a person to char, which was 9-A.

    To be clear, I don't even know what this supposed Black Box feat is - all it's describing is that it does in fact blow up tanks, but none of this entails complete and total destruction: "Hmm? "Where are the tanks?", I hear you cry? Gentlemen, I'll have you know I blasted each and every one of...

    I cannot possibly fathom how this is the conclusion you can come to when the circumstances we are disputing involve complete annihilation, this isn't a matter of breaking someone's skull over time, what you're attempting to justify is scaling someone to something that completely vaporizes them...

    Dividing the values doesn't actually address the fundamental problem with trying to scale someone to something that vaporizes them, I'm going to disagree with doing so.

    You're just reiterating your position and justifying your position with HP mechanics, it's not actually addressing the facts of the matter. The facts aside, what do you think occurs when you start to scale everything with each other? You then have to come to terms with the fact that a great...

    You simply don't get vaporized by something you scale with, something has to overpower you by orders of magnitude for such an event to occur. And people will argue with you that there's at least precedent for this, where someone looking to contradict you would only need to point towards Sniper...

    I don't think you're understanding that you want the values and the potency that come from vaporizing something, but aren't willing to accept the consequence of the requirement. It is a paradox to scale to something that vaporizes you, this is not how things work. You would not get vaporized to...

    And the energy is powerful enough to not just blast them to pieces, not just incinerate them, but completely annihilate them, yes? Which only occurs to an object when?

    I want you to walk me through the process of how vaporization occurs.

    That this is not a qualification for scaling because they are vaporized.

    Yeah, when they are killed they get vaporized by the weapon, like everything else.

    I'm mostly going to address this specific section for now because it is the most glaring one, but I'm positive we've had this discussion before - we can't really scale the mercenaries to weapons that vaporize them, at most you can consider giving them the weapons to use but physical scaling...
