Lifting Strenght

[Sandor Clegane]
---------------------------
Referring to some of GOT TV Series characters whose lifting strength scaling from deflects-trades sword blows. For example

I propose to upgrade LS of Sandor to Class 5. He traded blows with his brother

Game of Thrones Eddard VII

Gregor have class 5 LS

I know that book said that Gregor is stronger than his younger brother, but nevertheless Sandor can fight against him being in holding back state (tv series Oberyn is also weaker than Mountain but that doesn't stop him from having Class 5 LS )


[Jon Snow] LS upgrade?
------------------
I'm not really sure about this, but Jon seemed to be able to struggle against Wight for a while? About the fact that book write that corpse was too heavy for Jon. Maybe it's because Jon thought he couldn't escape because corpse was heavy for him, but really because Wight was too strong for Jon?

Game of Thrones Jon VII

Anyway. Wights have Class 5 LS

And therefore Jon should maybe have At most Class 5 LS? Or Superhuman LS Since he was able to struggle against Wight for a short time? Anyway it's not up to me to decide, but more knowledgeable people and staff members. What do you think?

Abilities
[Wights]

Limited Fear Inducement

[All animals except Jon dire wolf were horrified when Wights corpses were close to them]

Game of Thrones Jon VII

Body Control

[Wight's arm that Jon sliced off could move]
Game of Thrones Jon VII

Resistence to Pain


It seems quite obvious to me. Why this is not in current Wights profile is not clear to me. Jon chopped off Wight's arm, cut his face, and dire wolf ghost gutted him, but Wight showed no signs of pain.

Game of Thrones Jon VII

Limited Resistence to Enhanced Smell
[Wight corpses have no smell, and people with a good smell can't really smell Wight corpses]

Well, if deflect-trade blows count as scaling, that's fine.

Honestly I don't think so.

Even bacteria and fungi are afraid because Wights don't rot. I've proposed this before but it was rejected.

Is this really body control?

I didn't include this as resistance to pain manipulation because it just seemed like stamina to me, but when I think about it it could also be the former

They don't smell because they haven't decomposed.
 
You write that even bacteria and fungi are afraid because Wights don't rot and later you read that They don't smell because they haven't decomposed. Huh?? Don't these words contradict each other?
I advise you to re-read Jon VII chapter. As far as I remember Sam to be saying that it's strange that these corpses haven't decomposed yet. That is, I don't see any reason why wights can't have limited resistence to enhanced smell. And yes, when your severed arm can move, it's body control. I advise you to look at powers and abilities in Wights TV Series profile to understand how abilities work

And because in overall wights from the tv series and books have similar powers and abilities

Sure.

Uh, no. Jon got completely overpowered by the Wight and his struggling did pretty much nothing. Disagree.

Fear Manipulation is specifically for supernatural fear, this would be Limited Social Influencing.

Fine.

That’s just a stamina feat, “Resistance to Pain” isn’t an indexable ability.

[Wight corpses have no smell, and people with a good smell can't really smell Wight corpses]
Sure.

No.
Wights don't rot because even bacteria and fungi are afraid of them, so they don't rot and therefore don't have the smell of decomposition. It's not a resistance to enhanced senses.

Btw, where did you get the screenshots of the passages from the books? I only have the physical books so having the digital books would be convenient for me for the profiles.

Sure.
It's not entirely clear to me why pain resistence is not an indexed ability. Characters like John Wick and Michael Myers have Pain Inhibition ability themselves, despite their superhuman stamina. Wights and Mountain from the tv show have resistence to pain,

I can even show a thread where these ability for Undead Gregor were approved by the staff.
Thread 'Game of Thrones General CRT²' https://vsbattles.com/threads/game-of-thrones-general-crt2.170032/

So why wights from books can't have resistence to pain unlike wights and gregor from tv show? In wight vs Jon fight, it wasn't written at all that wight felt pain at all (that is, there wasn't even his grunts after received wounds). I have a scan on imgur that says wight doesn't feel wounds inflicted on it.
 
Resistance to Pain only qualifies for characters who are specifically stated to not be able to feel pain, everything else would just be stamina

And that’s wrong, Resistance to Pain Manipulation is only supposed to be given to characters who straight up cannot feel pain, not just having a tolerance to it. Pain tolerance is just stamina.
So why wights from books can't have resistence to pain unlike wights and gregor from tv show?
Because it’s specifically stated that they don’t feel pain. Unless the Wights in the books are also stated to be incapable of feeling pain, their tolerance feats are just stamina feats.

Ok. I didn't know about it.
