Downgrade of weapon users

[Lonkitt]

I disagree. Not gonna elaborate, KLOL covered everything

 

[CloverDragon03]

Hard disagree with the OP for KLOL’s reasons, this is just straight up not how we do this sorta thing

 

[Serlock_Holmes]

Can you two offer an opinion about what's discussed currently?

My opinion is that I agree with what KLOL said, I made that pretty clear

I mean as in what happens if someone hurts a whale with a spear. Does he scale to it or not?

Case-by-case, just like how we’ve always done this sorta thing. There’s no general answer

I’m in the same train of thought here. We can’t generalize all spear throw instances

So a thread is needed basically for every time this sort of thing happens in a verse?

Oh just a heads up but the sperm whale is in Kengan. Which flows into another matter I wanted to bring up.

Ah. Apologies on the confusion.

This is good and all, but it concerns metal. What about flesh as in the point of the sperm whale? Does it scale? Does it not? Humans can kill whales with spears like in the Faroe Islands, but it's usually more death by a thousand cuts. How should this be tackled? Maybe another crt concerning the feat in question?

While you'd have more leeway with flesh, even that is tricky business, since ordinary flesh would get vaporized completely by the force of such an attack. As such, we're really running on little to nothing to try and determine the durability of this piece of flesh from said calc, which again, could potentially go down as calc stacking.

Basically, damned if you do, damned if you don't. Either way you go brings inconsistencies or values being gravely misjudged and inflated/deflated to unreasonable expectations because of too many assumptions.

Basically stick to smaller fish. Whales have lots of toxic metals anyways.

Anyway @NikHelton that's as much as I could help.

Yes.

 

[DemonGodMitchAubin]

This is extremely case by case, there are countless times when a weapons user displays scaling to others… KLOL covered most of this tho

So I disagree with the OP

 

[LordGriffin1000]

I'm a little lost but if I'm following what's being suggested by the OP, I'm going to disagree with it. Cutting/Piercing damage is always a wild thing when it's shown in verses but there's a limit.

 

[LordTracer]

KLOL’s already covered most of what’s wrong with the OP, and my thoughts are about the same as his.

I disagree with the OP.

 

[NikHelton]

Okay, then we can close this

 

[DarkDragonMedeus]

I was going to say a lot of things, but others already said a lot and it looks like OP conceded so I will close this.
