Will be going to bed in a few minutes, so I will make this brief as I was reminded to make this thread.
Basically, now with our newly made standards for it, sustenance feats are no longer assumed by default to be quantifiable or scale to a character's stats without evidence proving they do under our criteria. You now need much more evidence to get a sustenance feat in question accepted, making clear what the feat is and if it can be appropriately applied. The page is linked, but here's our new criteria for sustenance feats:
Requirement 1: Specify what exactly is being stabilized so that it is made clear what the character's sustainability is doing precisely.
Requirement 2: Prove that the stabilized structure is being directly sustained by the power of the character and not from the character's abilities, life force, existence, magical properties or any unknown connection that is independent of their statistics.
Requirement 3: Prove that the character's stabilization is comparable to the scale of the structure they are stabilizing. Preferably, it should be proven that the character's sustainability is comparable to the destruction of the structure to best show that their power rivals the destructive output of what would destroy the structure in the first place. Please keep in mind that this may vary depending on how the structure's destruction would occur. For example, if a character sustains the existence of a universe that would not be instantly or immediately destroyed when no longer supported, the power of their sustainability would not be comparable to destructive output that completely and immediately destroys a universe, and would not be sufficient enough to be given a 3-A or Low 2-C rating. However, their sustainability could be given either rating if the universe they sustain would be completely destroyed instantly or immediately without support.
Requirement 4: Prove that the power of the character's stabilization consistently scales to their regular statistics, similar to our standards for creation feats.
This thread here is to downgrade any verses where characters sustain X and get Y tier from it. If a case can be made for the given verses' characters, they should preferably be taken to their own CRT's to handle them there.
