Howdy! I did some Silent Hill calcs that I will be hopefully applying here. I will also be doing a few power additions and general clean-up.
The calcs I did are as follows;
Henry Breaking A Wall
This upgrades all characters in Silent Hill 4: The Room to At least 9-C, likely 9-B
This feat is performed by Henry's Pickaxe of Hope. The PoH cannot be used as a weapon as it is a key item. However, Henry also has a weapon called the Pickaxe of Despair, which CAN be used as a weapon and is referred to as a "strong pickaxe". I am proposing that the PoD is comparable to the PoH in terms of attack potency, and thus should scale to those who can take hits from it.
Valtiel Breaks A Metal Floor
This obviously upgrades Valtiel to 9-B, but it was suggested to me that it should also scale to God, as she is generally seen as superior to Valtiel.
Siam Breaks A Roof
This upgrades all Silent Hill 5: Homecoming characters to 9-B. Siam is a fairly common, basic enemy (mainly in the endgame) and so should be comparable to other monsters within this title. Siam's AP would scale to Alex's durability, and everyone else in the game can more or less scale to him.
Bogeyman Destroys Part of A Courtyard
This scales to the Bogeyman to 9-A, obviously. However, I also want to suggest scaling the Wheelman to this feat, as he's seen as stronger and acts as the final boss. He's also three stories tall and is currently rated as a measly 9-C, so I think this number makes more logical sense.
However! I think Murphy Pendleton, the protagonist, would scale to this with a "At least 9-C, possibly 9-A" rating. While Bogeyman/Wheelman are certainly stronger than the average enemy, Murphy is able to damage Bogeyman and survive attacks from him. This would, in turn, make the cast of Downpour all share the rating of "At least 9-C, possibly 9-A", scaling to Murphy.
Earth Guardian Breaks A Boulder
This scales to the cast of Silent Hill: Shattered Memories to 9-A.
The Player and Steel Guardian would upscale, getting an "At least 9-A" rating, due to Steel Guardian being referred to as the strongest entity ("Light: borne by the Heavens; Blood: borne by this world; and Steel: borne by mankind, and the most powerful".) within the Book of Memories. The Player can damage/take hits from Steel Guardian, but also grows more powerful throughout the game, so I don't think scaling every enemy to "At least 9-A" would be warranted.
I also want to note that the monsters within the Book of Memories shouldn't be assumed comparable to their main series counterparts, and so we won't be upgrading every monster in the main series to 9-A based on this.
Steel Guardian Breaks A Steel Insane Cancer
This just backs up the above rating, done by a stronger character, but a lower result. Helps against any outlier allegations, I guess.
That's all for AP/Durability changes, but there are a few things I want to fix while I'm here.
The Player (Book of Memories)
First of all, I want to add their canon names to their name section. The joke ending refers to the protagonists as Trevor (Male Jock), Becca (Female Bookworm), Derek (Male Bookworm), Kayce (Female Rocker), Matt (Male Rocker). These would just be added to the name section with a "Player-determinant; Called Trevor (Male Jock), Becca (Female Bookworm), Derek (Male Bookworm), Kayce (Female Rocker), and Matt (Male Rocker) in the Joke Ending"
Power Additions;
Steel Guardian
We currently treat all the Pyramid Heads across the series as one entity. I think a more appropriate thing to do would be to separate them into their individual variations. The Pyramid Head in SH2 is exclusive to James while the one in SH4 is Alex's monster, and of course, the Book of Memories variation is different as well. We currently treat the Nurses this way, and Pyramid Head should also be treated as such
The calcs I did are as follows;
- Henry breaks a wall - 0.28 Megajoules - Wall level
- Valtiel breaks a metal floor - 0.66 Megajoules - Wall level
- Siam breaks a roof - 5.99 Megajoules - Wall level
- Steel Guardian breaks a steel Insane Cancer - 0.00458 Tons of TNT - Wall level+
- Bogeyman destroys part of a courtyard - 0.013 Tons of Tnt - Small Building level
- Earth Guardian breaks a boulder - 0.018 Tons of TNT - Small Building level

Power Additions;
- Reality Warping - The main story of Book of Memories sees the protagonist rewrite reality and their own history using the book. The endings are about either fixing your selfishness and fixing reality or leaning into it and rewriting reality to your heart's content
- Fire Manipulation - Via the flamethrower and fire sword
- Explosion Manipulation - Via grenades
Steel Guardian
- Flight
- Change gender to "Male or Female", as the gender of Steel Guardian depends on the protagonist's gender
