AP to shatter a metal prosthesis?

[Creaturemaster971]

A character loses his arm down to the bone, and has a metal prosthesis put in place. He regularly punches hard enough to shatter this prosthesis, and acknowledges that his previous arm was stronger.

The type of metal is unknown (but is most likely steel), but does anyone have a ballpark estimate for how hard one would have to hit to break a prosthesis of multiple types of metal?

I'm pretty sure it would be wall level but I can't comment on the exact value

This also sounds like a really sucky situation for the character

 

[Creaturemaster971]

He's kind of a prick anyway

Dang it, this verse's scaling is so confusing.

Wall level

 

[Wokistan]

Maybe the prosthetic just sucks tho

 

[Creaturemaster971]

Okay, question from the same verse.

It's probably wall-level, but how high into wall level is a character who can literally just gently move their hand through steel?

As in, they're extending their hand and pushing through a solid mass of steel, which is offering them no resistance whatsoever, through sheer physical strength.

 

[Wokistan]

Would probably have to do with tensile strength, but this might end up more as LS than AP.

 

[Creaturemaster971]

What's the tensile strength of a steel door?

I don't actually know what sort of calculation you'd want for this though.

 

[Creaturemaster971]

I guess the AP needed to punchone's arm through it, but highballed since it was effortless and flat-palmed

I can do a calc I suppose, we can get volume of arm and apply destruction of steel.

 

[KLOL506]

Can't we just use the mass and then divide it with the density values to figure out stuff? We do it for other calcs.

 

[Mr. Bambu]

Yes.

That's literally what I was going to do.

It isn't difficult.
