Non-Visual Verses Matter Too

[Testarossa002]

As someone who is mostly interested in novel verses, this is of great concern to me.

Non Visual verses are always on the shorter end of the stick whenever it comes to calculations.

It's not as bad when it comes to AP feats.
For example, Character A blows up a planet is usually defaulted to baseline planet level

Speed, on the other hand, is more difficult.
For example, this

My eyesight was fuzzy. I felt like I’d just got the Heimlich manoeuvre from a gorilla. I couldn’t believe anybody could throw that hard.
Tyson yelled, ‘Percy, duck!’ I rolled as another dodgeball whistled past my ear at the speed of sound.
Whooom!

If it was a visual media, one can pixel all kinds of stuff and arrive at an accurate value.
But for non visual, it is quite difficult and long-winded.
One would need to make all sorts of assumptions in order for it to be somewhat accurate.

Such feats are usually not incorporated in scaling until an adaptation in the distant future is released.

I'm proposing that whenever such reactions, evasions, and interceptions feats occur, we simply scale them to the speed of the bullet or lightning or whatever they're dodging.

Obviously, we need to apply common sense as someone dodging an attack from Mars or something wouldn't be scaling.
This is for people within close range of the source of the attacks.

Once an adaptation is released, then it can be calced properly, but until then, scaling to the speed of what they're dodging should be the default rating.

No.

Just because it is more difficult for feats lacking visuals doesn't mean we need to be excessively more generous in letting them make assumptions.

This is not being excessively generous
It's the same way character A scales to character B in speed by dodging the latter's attacks.
Nobody pixel scales anything. We just scale them.
That's the same logic
And you said it yourself, it is more difficult to calc said feats
Without making all sorts of arbitrary assumptions

I'm proposing that whenever such reactions, evasions, and interceptions feats occur, we simply scale them to the speed of the bullet or lightning or whatever they're dodging.

This doesn't even happen in visual medias. Such feats to scale to the projectile are usually due to the characters covering great distance or the attack is close in distance when they moved. This blatantly wanks the feat.

If someone reacts to the sos, they're likely subsonic and thats it.

Tyson yelled, ‘Percy, duck!’ I rolled as another dodgeball whistled past my ear at the speed of sound.
Whooom!

We got no idea how far the ball was when Tyson yelled ducked, Percy was also notified prior. So this definitely wouldn't be sos.
