    Hello, hello

    The calc creator has responded to you in the SxF calculation
    Mr. Bambu
    Mr. Bambu
    I'm not accepting a calc that overestimates movement to that extent, and I'm not particularly interested in redoing the entire thing from scratch myself. She didn't move 4 meters- this is at least twice the height of her body. It's absurd and anyone can recognize it as absurd. It's rejected for now. I'll state that on the calc.

    Alright, usual list of questions
    1. Why does Death Knight and their representative Lord Soth have Hypersonic+ on speed? Soth's speed is said to be comparable to Zarovich who has a rating similar to the other Low 7-Bs and isn't Hypersonic+ the rating for the 9-A+ creatures?
    2. How fast does its immortality kick in
    3. What's the range of the fear manip?
    4. Does the Blood Amniote have resistance to blood manip, seeing as to how it's made of blood?
    5. Can victims dig out of an Entomber's seal
    Mr. Bambu
    Mr. Bambu
    1. Probably just missed when the CRT was made to edit speed- I don't remember who did the actual listing of pages that needed changed, but those two must have been skipped over. To my knowledge, there's nothing that would disqualify either from the speed rating.
    2. Soth's immortality, do you mean? I believe more or less immediately, though his Type 8 may not raise him where he died. It varies from Darklord to Darklord, for example Strahd's basically functions like his standard Vampire immortality but buffed.
    3. The passive fear aura is close-range- for a standard Death Knight, it is 15-foot radius. Soth's is likely higher, given the logic that D&D works under, though I don't know the number off the top of my head.
    4. No more so than the standard D&D character- that is to say, it does have the resistance, but nothing more special than anyone else.
    5. Probably. It's strong enough to lock down people comparable to the Entomber, i.e., 9-A, but if they had, for example, a way of shifting through stone, they're fine.

    So, some questions as usual
    1. Is layered NPI and ESP a thing in D&D?
    2. What are the issues you're currently facing in the development of the CY-BORG verse? Because it seems to be pretty high in quality
    3. When out of cover or forced to start moving, what would a Cave Fisher do in combat?
    4. Are the deaf immune to Weeping Dirge?
    5. The Mu Spore has a reaction speed value... How exactly does it dodge?

    Ah, a wheep. Yeah, if you're unable to hear, the wording implies you'd be immune.

    1. Actually, "layered" NPI and ESP is a legit thing, even in dnd. In 3e, Ghosts are both incorporeal, and by virtue of residing in the ethereal plane, they are unaffected by a bunch of stuff unless manifesting. Ghost Touch bypasses both. Ghosts are also normally invisible and double so when in Ethereal. True Seeing bypasses both. It's bs and stupid, but it's technically there.(The term "layered npi" started because of JoJo, as stands can't be seen nor interacted with even to other souls)
    Hi, I'm (sort of) new here, I made a match with a Helmed Horror (well...a Battle Horror actually) recently and I'd need a couple of details on how D&D resistances (and resistances in general) are treated here, do you mind dropping in or do you prefer a recap of the questions here?

    I suppose your position on blasting spells is fair. I'm extremely tired at the moment so I'm going to leave that at that.

    Hey, don't push yourself.
    Rest first, everything else second, internet rando on a fanfic batttle forum last, I can wait.
    Still sorry though. (and thx again for the answers)

    As for piercing... neither of those, I think. It's more like the method of piercing allows attacks that use it to functionally be stronger in the same setting. If the Horror were forced to punch, it'd be no different than the Eidolon.

    Then I guess it's not that significant of an advantage if it has no ripercussion on the rating.
    Mr. Bambu
    Mr. Bambu
    I've since slept, thanks.

    It isn't bad, and if the match is looking close it can be used to decide a victor. I just don't feel, in this instance, that it is noteworthy.
    Carfusso
    Got it, ty, have a good day.

    Hey so you did this calc and Im basically trying to replicate that just with a bigger house, I'm confused on what you did here in the calc

    FGQUFzy.png


    How did you put the numbers in the equation to get the specific heat energy? From what ik about the formula is just E=m*c*change of temperature but when I do this with your numbers I don't get 1.2898e12, I get 1.3041843e+12 instead. (1022088 * 1450 * 880 - 16)

    As I am just another degenerate on a site full of degenerates, I'd like to ask, please don't call me a sir, hah.

    I'm curious, what did you think was wrong with the other calc?

    If you want, I ask you to be evaluated, calc before KT there was a flaw in finding the laser diameter, and now it has been fixed by KLOL, KLOL told CGM to evaluate and if you are willing, please be evaluated because we will make a thread.

    @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
    SheevShezarrine
    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?
    First_Witch
    Hi son.

    You shredded my last Knight Run upgrade to pieces with facts and logic. Make up for it by taking a gander at this one please.

    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
