Reality Warping often involves, destruction and recreation that happen instantaneously; so Reality warping a planet is legit 5-B.

And I would agree with you.Dargoo Faust said:However I'd personally argue that assuming that pocket reality creation energy is used in every single other attack that the character has is a bit ridiculous.
The same could be said about the energy needed to freeze materials. I could easily point out verses don't usually take into account thermodynamics in that respect.Kaltias said:Name a work of fiction that treats GBE and planet creation as related.
I don't even disagree with not using explosions, but don't say that GBE and planet creation are more closely tied when they aren't
I would also agree with that.RebubleUselet said:And I would agree with you.Dargoo Faust said:However I'd personally argue that assuming that pocket reality creation energy is used in every single other attack that the character has is a bit ridiculous.
You use the low end. Isn't it per cubic meter? It definitely gets astronomic when the whole universe is accounted for.Dargoo Faust said:The issue is that the low-end is crazy low into 10-C, and the high end is well into 3-A.Mand21 said:I suggest we could use the low end for vacuum energy and multiply it by the volume of the space created
And both values are equally debated as being true.
I don't think this is true, back here at post 140 I argued against this idea.Dargoo Faust said:Because space has energy, thus making it would take energy, thus if you can use that same energy to attack the opponent it scales to AP.
Since it seems Kep and Andy now disagree with this I'll have to necro this thread.Matthew Schroeder said:Yeah go via size. Done.
Didn't they disagree with this before?Dargoo Faust said:Since it seems Kep and Andy now disagree with this I'll have to necro this thread.
Again, randomly throwing a calculation to get unrelated numbers for a feat is an even bigger asspull.Kepekley23 said:Because I think that randomly putting "baseline 4-A" on this is a pure asspull. We either go with High 4-C or assume the level of 4-A to be equal to destroying said dimension.
For creating a planet orbiting a star that seems fine to me as well.Assaltwaffle said:I'm personally in the High 4-C camp but that's me.
Pretty big either or fallacy. Also, nothing states or implied a Big Bang created whatever pocket dimension was conjured similar to our universe. It's pretty straightforward they're made in unrelated manners, the Big Bang involved a rapid expanse of condensed energy, not, as most pocket reality feats are, just poofing into existence.Kepekley23 said:Our standards are all about creation being equal to destruction. It's why we consider stellar creation to be GBE despite having absolutely nothing to do with creation. The only sensible options that wouldn't involve inventing something would be:
This whole "baseline 4-A" thing you're claiming I'm arguing isn't even anything I claimed or said. You can just use logic to reason if it was a large quantity and should therefore be reasonably above baseline. Calcs aren't needed for everything.Kepekley23 said:Saying it's baseline 4-A is something I will never, ever agree with myself in that regard.
The character made multiple solar systems; ergo it's Multi-Solar System level. It's the same thing as a character having statements we can't quantify. Again, you don't need to calc everything, especially when calcs can't be used reasonably.Kepekley23 said:Explain how it's 4-A without equations other than pure guessing. If it has no backing then sorry, it qualifies as an asspull by default.
You can calculate the energy required for an attack to destroy a star 1,000+ light years away, which is 4-A, so this statement is a misinterpretation of the actual point.Dargoo Faust said:I'll just say again you can't calculate the energy needed to collapse empty space, just the matter within.
You're assuming the pocket dimension 'expands' like the Big Bang despite them typically appearing out of thin air. Bit of a false correlation there.Kepekley23 said:Both a strawman and a complete misunderstanding of the point. A pocket dimension being created and expanding is similar to the Big Bang in that we can't actually quantify the energy required for the Big Bang in a conventional manner (in fact, the very idea of "energy" came after the event) since the universe's mass energy is 0 joules, so we just rate it at baseline 3-A by assuming creating the universe is equal to destroying it.
Or we can just see that they're creating tons of Solar Systems and just call it 4-A.Kepekley23 said:We can assume, like we do for everything else, that creation is comparable to destruction, or we can use the method we use for constellation creation and assume it's High 4-C via multiplying the GBE by thousands of stars.
We assume creation is equivalent or greater than destruction.Kepekley23 said:It being baseline or "reasonably above baseline" is something you made up. Common sense is irrelevant when actually laying down facts. Just claiming that X is equal to Y because of "logic/common sense" isn't evidence of anything.
I'm not saying creation =/= destruction though. I'm just saying we shouldn't use equations unrelated to the actual feat to get calcs. You're throwing in a bunch of red herrings in regards to points I don't even make.Kepekley23 said:Why is creating multiple solar systems a Multi-Solar System level feat? Explain this.
This is bemusing because your very debate and post structure is already basing itself off of creation being equal to destruction.
Here we go with the either or again. You're ignoring the other possibilities being brought up, or the possibility that neither of them are accurate and that the feat just can't be calced. It's just like with a statement, we have to make an estimation if we lack sufficient details like with what we have here.Kepekley23 said:In VSBW we assume creation = destruction in spite of better options. Either that or the feat is High 4-C as one of the only two options we have.
If it's done through an explosion or blast of energy, yeah.Kepekley23 said:You can calculate the energy required for an attack to destroy a star 1,000+ light years away, which is 4-A, so this statement is a misinterpretation of the actual point.
I'm honestly erring more towards High 4-C now, however I've never argued for baseline 4-A anywhere, so yeah, your claim of me arguing it does come from nowhere.Kepekley23 said:Under that assumption, the feat is High 4-C via creating all the matter within the dimension, and falls under Option 2 of the two options I listed. Either way "baseline 4-A" is completely wrong and from nowhere.
It's related to destruction, which we relate to creation.Kepekley23 said:GBE isn't related to creation at all. GBE is the energy required to destroy a star, which we assume to be equal to creating it for the sake of our system.
