    @Mr._Bambu, I need some confirmation. I'm planning on making Clancyverse matches. Are the profiles outdated or are they still usable?
    Mr. Bambu
    Mr. Bambu
    I haven't played Siege in years so it may be outdated, I don't know. Siege occasionally balances operators by giving them new equipment. The profiles are old though, either way.

    The Division guy is missing anything unique to the second game. Outdated is a poor term, the game was out at the time- I just sure as **** didn't play it.

    No idea about Ghost Recon, wasn't involved.
    Peppersalt43
    I haven't done this in a while but uh...
    1. Where is Assassin Vine's Range?
    2. What does the Green Hag start with?
    3. Is Aranea's summoning combat applicable? Because they are a one-person swarm
    4. What are Bonegnasher's skill feats?
    5. Why don't the playable characters of MÖRK BORG have NPI for being able to hit the Wraith? In fact they seem to lack a lot of resistances against the creatures in their realm, most notably the Lich

    Could you calc the speed of this punch? (it's shown once in the PS3 version at 4:25 and then again on PS5 at 6:08, if you decide to help use whichever is more convenient)

    The player character is 1.81 meters tall and the huge ****** dragon is 103 meters tall, and has mostly human proportions which I think should make calcing a bit easier

    Pretty consistent actually. Current speed used for the verse is 522 m/s
    Mr. Bambu
    Mr. Bambu
    The teeniest, tiniest upgrade then. Happy to be of help, I've passed it along to a couple calc eval channels in the hopes of getting it done quick. You're free to also summon the cavalry if you like, of course.

    I've been considering giving the Demon's Souls top-tiers "at least Supersonic" based on that scene since Dragon God hits way faster than the player character (Supersonic reactions/combat speed) can dodge, but didn't feel quite right without some amount of numerical evidence backing it up, which I now have. Tyty 🙏

    Hi, since you are form the calculation group and is also listed as supporter of of the Xionic Madness verse, could you help me with this CRT please?
    Mr. Bambu
    Mr. Bambu
    I am not actually terribly knowledgeable, truthfully. I'm just fond of its originator, Madness Combat. I'll still try to take a look though.
    Propellus
    Hey Bambu does this match seem fair?

    "Cartoon Krypto the Superdog vs Courage the Cowardly Dog

    This is Season 2 Krypto with his Timestopper

    Krypto is 6-C

    Courage is in his High 7-C Key and has his Optional Equipment and hax

    Speed is equalized"

    I'm asking here because LG was unsure if it was a stomp so it could use more inputs
    Mr. Bambu
    Mr. Bambu
    I don't know sufficient amounts about either character but it does seem tenuous, yeah. Would really depend on the exact tendency of Courage to use his hax.
    DaReaperMan
    Yo Bambu, what's the booklist for Illidan and Arthas? Gonna have to release them a wee early cause of Death Battle

    In fact do you just want an inv to the frankly slowly moving Warcraft revisions so you can oversee and add stuff here and there?

    Mr Bambu since your an administrator I have a question

    In the privacy settings it says receive news feed and view identities.

    what do those mean exactly?

    I’m a little confused for those two but not the other things in the privacy settings

    Would you mind reviewing these calcs so I can wrap up this CRT?
    Mr. Bambu
    Mr. Bambu
    I'd rather not get caught up in anything people are trying to sell as Tier 0, if it's all the same to you. Would rather not be associated.

    That's fine.

    I know you stated you would rather stay out of anything Tier 0, but now that the CRT is done, we are having issues finding anybody to check the calcs. It's the last thing holding back the CRT so if you change your mind, it would be appreciated.
    Peppersalt43
    Alright, I have another list of questions
    1. How does the petrification from Gorgons, Basilisk, and Medusa work on characters that can duplicate or split apart?
    2. How does the finger of death spell work on characters that can duplicate or split apart?
    3. What makes a vermin a vermin? Because a lot of arthropods like Cave Fisher, Phase Spider, and Rot Grub are not included as vermin
    4. For oozes without any other methods of attack, how exactly can they harm a character immune to acid?
    5. Does Thorvin not have a CR score? Because he's just 9-C
    6. Are you working on the members of Xanathar's Guild?

    1. I kinda assumed that if one part or duplicate gets petrified, the others remain safe but then I realized at least for basilisk and Medusa that it's based on vision so you can just close your eyes. For the Gorgon however since its petrification is gas-based, would petrifying one split body part or duplicate petrify the whole enemy?
    2. Same logic as before, when doing the Death Manip on a split body part or duplicate, does it affect the whole enemy?
    Mr. Bambu
    Mr. Bambu
    1. If your duplicate isn't put under the condition to be petrified then they aren't petrified. If they are, they are petrified. If you're asking about like... a creature splitting apart, as its being petrified, then yeah, whole thing should be petrified afaik.
    2. If the duplicate is ultimately one entity, then yes. If the duplicate is an entirely separate entity, then no. Like I can think of the guy from X-Men who has the power to clone himself rapidly, that it would probably kill all of them, as Finger of Death is soul death. On the otherhand, something like Ripley 8 is a clone biologically only, and it wouldn't matter if the original died. As for "split body part", yeah almost definitely Finger of Death kills the whole thing.
    Peppersalt43
    Peppersalt43
    sigh Alright then. Thank you, I was very close to making some stomp matches

    Also I forgot that even if Finger of Death didn't work on split opponents, Vitreous Drinker can read minds and teleport to find where the original is hiding and get to them

    Need your help, please. I'm making a Kinetic Energy calculation for Malebolgia here, but I can't find out what exactly a "drac" is. I was thinking of just using the charts from the Large Size Calculations page, yet I wanted to run it by you and any other calc group members first. What do I do?

    Aye, I saw. A manitou was not what I had been expectin'. Imagery used reminds me of the Leshen boss fight from the Monster Hunter x Witcher crossover.
    Peppersalt43
    Peppersalt43
    Well for the Manitou, I chose it because I recently discovered it while learning on Fiend Lore of D&D and honestly anything that can be used as a big bad for a primarily Ranger campaign is pretty cool. As for design, your profile pic reminds me of Specimen 8 who is a deer guardian and the guy also has a connection to nature or similar things.

    It's a neat coincidence and I did foreshadow such an entity in @BEASTHEART880 and @Soupywolf5's bosses so I was just waiting for a chance to use it. Thanks for coming, I loved the opportunity
    Mr. Bambu
    Mr. Bambu
    Ah. Fiend lore is an apt connection, I suppose. My profile picture is a depiction of Baphomet.
    Peppersalt43
    Dread Emperor vs Raikou has happened. I'll just let you know here before @Tllmbrg or @Qawsedf234 drags you in unwittingly. Anyway, usual list of questions
    1. Violet Fungus has a reaction speed value... How exactly does that thing dodge?
    2. Against intelligent animals that have thought, can they be controlled by the Elder Treant?
    3. How exactly does its damage reduction work? Please tell me it's not Type 9 Immortality too...
    4. Now I know that the gods and abominations are smurfs. For the ones without the Wish spell, do their haxes stop at Low 1-C or at 2-C/2-A? Because there's another entire verse with Low 1-C haxes and Low 6-B to 6-B physically
    5. How does the Devastation Vermin's damage reduction work?
    Qawsedf234
    Qawsedf234
    1. The Fungi in question is a Violent Funji who has feet
      • This human-sized mushroom has four tendrillike tentacles and a mass of small, rootlike feelers at its base that enable it to move slowly.
    2. There's both a size and training limitation for animal messenger
      • You compel a Tiny animal to go to a spot you designate. The most common use for this spell is to get an animal to carry a message to your allies. The animal cannot be one tamed or trained by someone else, including such creatures as familiars and animal companions.

        Using some type of food desirable to the animal as a lure, you call the animal to you. It advances and awaits your bidding. You can mentally impress on the animal a certain place well known to you or an obvious landmark. The directions must be simple, because the animal depends on your knowledge and can’t find a destination on its own. You can attach some small item or note to the messenger. The animal then goes to the designated location and waits there until the duration of the spell expires, whereupon it resumes its normal activities.

        During this period of waiting, the messenger allows others to approach it and remove any scroll or token it carries. The intended recipient gains no special ability to communicate with the animal or read any attached message (if it’s written in a language he or she doesn’t know, for example).

    3. The Treant's Damage Reduction is just a flat DR 10/- rate. Meaning it will just negate a certain amount of damage
    4. Without Wish or manipulation of some weird multi-dimensional item they tend to top out at 2-A to Low 1-C. Immortals are the only ones who get to 1-B and Low 1-A without technically being smurfs.
    5. Like with the Treant's all Devastation Vermin just have a flat damage negation aspect of DR.

    Didn't expect to see you here but I do remember that regular users can ping others when typing in a profile comment. Thanks anyway!
    Peppersalt43
    Alright, here are some more questions for my next matches
    1. What does Nezrebe start with?
    2. I noticed that Neh-Thalggu also doesn't have the Type 9 Immortality like Father Llymic and based on your previous comment, do we also not know what he does with the 1-A shit? Because this thing seems to have even less aspirations and just wants to collect brains
    3. When comparing the Ghoul page with the Skeleton page, the latter seems very lacking despite them being pretty famous fodder undead. Based on the list of existing skeletons in the note, shouldn't there be Variants at 9-A to 8-A?
    4. So I recently discovered that Hags in a coven get an extra list of spells they can do. Should there be another key for the hags' abilities that they get via working together?
    5. What happens when a Desiccator uses its ability on a water elemental?
    6. Conversely, what happens when it uses its ability on an elemental or creature lacking water, like a golem or a fire elemental?
    7. Should the Elder Evils get power bestowal since warlocks can make pacts with them and get cool spells?

    Ah, that sucks

    Oh well, CRT isn't done yet. Also holy shit, +6? That's a lot of plains they're hanging out at once

    Aye, the Epic Level Handbook specifically takes shit to an absurd extent.

    I already warned @DemonicDude not to add any matches to Hagunemnon's profile so don't worry too much. We're just having fun there
    Peppersalt43
    Usual list of questions. Also the CY-BORG drafts look good
    1. Do the lower tier outsiders have any form of smurfs besides resurrection? I'm planning on pitting them against a bunch of guys with 4-D Type 2 Madness that's also +1 layers
    2. Is the Doppelganger's telepathy layered? First key by the way
    3. What does Janma Gleamsilver usually start with and what attacks does she spam?
    4. Why is it that a lot of the "Humanoid Races" are mostly just 9-B or 9-A? Isn't it a common occurrence for player characters to eventually reach god tier levels of power regardless of what class or species they choose? Unless most of those guys aren't playable
    5. What are the layers of mind manip resistance possessed by Vermin and Oozes?
    Mr. Bambu
    Mr. Bambu
    Aye, meant to work on 'em more but... well I didn't.

    1. Probably better to just not do that. Outsiders don't inherently have smurfshit, so those would be stomps.
    2. Layered as in, resistance piercing or whatever? Yeah.
    3. I had to actually look at the image to even remember who that was. Nothing is really explained about her common strategies in the book, except that she's prone to pure and simple killing when it's the best route. Her only confirmed kill was by a one-hit quick stab on some random grunt, so how she'd handle an equal is questionable, though given her spell loadout it seems likely she'd use some of it. She is prone to stealthing it out when possible.
    4. I think you're looking at the question quite poorly. The pages are for a general individual, just like how we'd make a page for a normal average human 10-B, even though there are many individuals above this tier. Same here. Those pages represent average individuals of those races.
    5. Vermin and ooze are just outright immune to it in-game. Ooze are immune due to being mindless though.
    Peppersalt43
    Peppersalt43
    1. Damnit
    2. Shit I already made the match. Uh, how many layers?
    3. OK that's good
    4. Ah, OK. So potential isn't counted
    5. Huh, so basically even the strongest mind manip in the verse doesn't work on those two?
    Mr. Bambu

    Seems like three. Not much.

    Click to expand...
    More or less. Can't mind control something without a mind. People often say that you can but generally I suspect it's something similar- you could in theory control a slime, just not by mind fuckery. I have no idea why a spider is immune, it just is. The game grants them the status of mindless despite accepting that they can be intelligent.
