One of my biggest pet peeves is verses that use huge webs of powerscaling.
This guy fought this guy as well as this guy. The former of which fought this guy and this guy, and the latter of which fought these three other guys. Those three other guys are each comparable to this guy, who did this and this etc, etc.
This makes things very confusing, and finding the original feats that the character scales to is like going through a maze that could potentially drive the readers in circles without retaining that much information. Some verses that come to mind are Warhammer 40,000 and Mortal Kombat. I'm more exaggerating on Warhammer 40,000, but I still had to explore a bit to actually find the original calculated feats, and had to ask some people for help. Mortal Kombat may or may not still be that way, but I remember it being like that when I looked at the verse a while back.
My suggestion is this:
Let's use the Reptile Twins for an example.
They fought Chatterteeth, who could fight on par with Genie, who fodderizes the Felis Umbra, who could devour a dozen collapsed stars (Assume the chain is much longer and more confusing than this).
So we'd include that shortened chain in a note at the bottom of the page as follows:
Note: The chain of powerscaling works like this: Reptile Twins = Chatterteeth = Genie >> Felis Umbra = At least 4-B (Link the feat or calc)
'=' signifies that the previous character fought on par with or is comparable to the following character, ">" indicates that the character is stronger, ">>" indicates that the character is far stronger, etc.
This will make the original feats that the characters scale to much easier to find, and simplifies debating, as it shortens the amount of questions that members need to ask.
I'm open to any other ideas, but the focus here is to make the original calculated feats easier to find.
