Ivan Drago's AP

So, Ivan's AP lists a feat where he punches...a mat, I guess? I don't understand it all, but I'm very confused by this. It's 16 kJ, which I mean okay. If there was no other shows of strength than whatever, but his striking strength section literally says he exerts enough force to crush skulls four times over, so I'm just wondering why the heck he doesn't scale to crushing skulls? I mean, wouldn't striking strength essentially scale to AP? I just don't understand it.

Also should rocky have a verse page? I'm just curious because I could make it. One of the few verses to have 9-C characters as well so I mean I dunno. Makes it seem a little more special. I'd be willing to make a verse page.
 
His justification is exerting more pressure than what is required to crush concrete and skulls, so in a way he does scale to crushing skulls.

AP always scales to striking strength for a purely physical fighter, it's basic logic that doesn't usually have to be stated. So if you find a feat listed in his striking strength that is higher than the ones listed in his AP, don't take that to mean his AP isn't being scaled to that feat.
 
Oh, well I mean I think it should be better better stayed, because...I had a thread closed due to the confusion.

So, he does have the AP to crush skulls? Just confirmation. Because if so I need to open that thread again
 
Striking strength should scale to the attack potency as far as I am aware.
