Conversion Beamer problem

[Hunterzillas]

More likely Slaanesh.

 

[Crabwhale]

Crab is a Khorne worshipper confirmed.

I'd say more Malal considering I'm doing it to all the other Chaos Gods as well. Also the self-dismemberment.

 

[Jaakubb]

Wait, one question? What makes source editing better than normal editing? Does fandom put unnecessary code in normal mode? For example if you make a quote in visual mode for some reason they put a space between "br" and the "/" in the line break code. That in itself isnt too big of a problem, it's just one space. It's an example tho.

 

[Jaakubb]

So now what

 

[Crabwhale]

I destroy the thread as my secret has been exposed

We go feathunting. Or more specifically, I do. Through all the novels.

This'll be fun.

 

[Crabwhale]

I found this:


Hah, take that nerds. Atomization is a thing after all.

 

[Jaakubb]

I dont see much wrong with this. But does it scale to any other weapons? Or dura? Maybe higher tier marines can tank a lascannon.

 

[Crabwhale]

Plasma can prolly do that, and we already know Termies can take that.

 

[Crabwhale]

Also keep in mind this alien infantry is fuckhueg Orks that are described as 200-300 kilograms in the book.

 

[PsychicCipher]

So 7-B or High 6-C? Note that the Primaris still use High 6-C.

 

[Crabwhale]

Actually way less. Also the Primaris and the rest of the Marines will be updated once I've found every feat I possibly.

 

[PsychicCipher]

So the Custodes and Primaris would be around, say, Low 7-C with their best stuff?

 

[PsychicCipher]

But by all means, the Conversion Beamer is more of a dura-neg, it seems.

 

[Crabwhale]

So the Custodes and Primaris would be around, say, Low 7-C with their best stuff?

Custodes yes, Primaris no. They're not comparable to Custodes.

 

[Crabwhale]

Yet more evidence plasma can achieve the same feat mentioned above

 

[Crabwhale]

And now basically a direct statement.

 

[Jaakubb]

Yeah those look good.

 

[Crabwhale]

Found this.

I think we can assume real lightning here.

 

[Qawsedf234]

Its not really a speed feat since no one reacts to it in the scene. They just no sell the damage.

 

[Crabwhale]

Yes that's what I'm saying. The durability, not the speed.

 

[Ogbunabali]

Found this.

No you didn't Eliminator did. Exposed

And I think we can discard the faraday cage in this scenario since "they seemed solid and real, like fundamental, physical structures, like upturned, thorny trees.". And because they were "explosively scorching the earth".

 

[Crabwhale]

...Are you for or against?

 

[Ogbunabali]

Yeah, I think this is a solid durability feat from that description.

 

[Crabwhale]

Watch as Jaakubb comes and ruins my hopes and dreams agai

If not, then I think this warrants them.staying 8-C.

 

[Jaakubb]

About the lightning specifically, dont characters who tank lightning only tank a fraction of the energy? But the atomizing orks thing still doesnt have a problem.

 

[Ogbunabali]

@jaakubb

Don't think so in this case.

 

[Crabwhale]

Uh wot

 

[Crabwhale]

No genuinely, I have never seen or even heard that said ever before this.

 

[Ogbunabali]

When a lightning bolt hits a human, the human acts as a sort of faraday cage, acting as a conduit for the electricity to pass through you and isolate in the ground, you don't actually "get hit" and the dangerous thing about lightning hitting you is that, for instance, it can pass through your heart and you'd be dead, not necessarily the actual lightning bolt hitting you. But as I said in this case I don't think that would apply considering the description of the lightning.

 

[Crabwhale]

Ah right, that makes sense. But yes, I don't think dispersal applies here.

 

[Crabwhale]

Alright so as soon as I get my house internet connection back, I'm applying this due to lack of contention and solid enough evidence.

 

[Crabwhale]

So, summary of what's going to happen:

Space Marines and Marines will stay at 8-C (thanks to the lightning tanking feat).

Terminator and above will get High 8-C due to the plasma pistol feat and this.

 

[Jaakubb]

I mean idk. The lightning looking like physical structures doesnt mean the lightning had kinetic energy and not electrical energy. Seems like kind of a stretch.

Yeah I'm good with this.

 

[Jaakubb]

Maybe it's because despite lightning only appearing for a fraction of a second marines have really fast perception to the point where they look like real objects.

 

[Crabwhale]

No, scrub Space Marines don't have reflexes that good. Their best showing are reacting to hypersonic Bolt rounds, and even then, they can't do that a lot of the time.

 

[Jaakubb]

I meant just enough so that the lightning bolts seem more real and physical rather than brief formless flashes of light as we see them.

 

[Crabwhale]

Okay dude, you're reeeeeeeeeeeally stretching right now.

 

[Crabwhale]

The revision has been applied. Now if nobody has any objections, I'd like to close this thread once and for all.

 

[Jaakubb]

Honestly I think you're the one who's stretching. Space marine doesn't necessarily tank the full energy of a lightning bolt because it looks like a real physical structure. I honestly don't see how the two statements lead to each other.

Also the lightning thing is because most electrical energy just flows through an object without damaging it. Only a small fraction of the energy is converted to thermal energy which could have a small effect on the object. This is why people can survive lightning strikes.
