Stamina: A veritable clustertruck

[Omnificence]

Please read the thread. We are not looking for more levels. It has been agreed that more levels would be a bad thing. Do not suggest the addition of more levels. You have already done so.

Fine! I'm sorry...

 

[Crabwhale]

I would also like to point out this is still a staff discussion thread. Either get permission or do not comment, unless it's something incredibly important.

 

[KLOL506]

Anything else left to do here other than add the Rocky Marciano tidbits?

 

[Promestein]

Said tidbits being?

 

[Crabwhale]

The fact that he could fight 15 rounds without a noticeable performance drop, as far as I understand it.

 

[Promestein]

*[[wikipedia:Rocky Marciano|Rocky Marciano]] (A less ambiguous example, Rocky could box for 15 rounds without any significant drop in performance)

?

 

[Antvasima]

That seems fine to me. Thank you for helping out.

 

[Promestein]

that's done then

 

[Antvasima]

Thank you.

Is there anything left to do here?

 

[Crabwhale]

Don't think so.

 

[Colonel_Krukov]

I have an example for pain tolerance if that's okay to add?

The Doctor survived his own bespoke torture chamber for around 4.5 billion years and remembers it all. This involved constantly escaping a creature with minimal rest and dragging his dying body for over a day to continue the loop.

Stamina is one of the section of a profile, pretty much like AP, LS and Speed, is not a power or ability that requires examples of fictional characters.

We already have examples on there

 

[Moritzva]

Some out of an explanation or detailing of the categories, at least, is necessary. Categories are far too vague at the moment.

 

[Kulf_Boba]

bump

 

[Antvasima]

Is there currently anything left to do here?

 

[KLOL506]

Prolly not, but I'd ask Prom just in case.

 

[Kulf_Boba]

Is there currently anything left to do here?

They were discussing adding some explanation or more detail to the stamina categories.

 

[Antvasima]

Okay.

What do the rest of you think about this?

[Antvasima]

Also, can somebody write a list of the staff members who have contributed to this thread previously, so I can send them a notification, please?

 

[KLOL506]

Okay.

What do the rest of you think about this?

I think Promestein already argued that adding any more detail (As in, more levels of stamina) would make the stamina page too arbitrary.

 

[Antvasima]

Okay. Should we close this thread then?

 

[Crabwhale]

Fairly certain everything was agreed to here, yes.

 

[Promestein]

I believe Mori's asking for simply elaboration in the categories we currently have, but this does that. A lot of stamina stuff can sort of just be figured out fairly easily.

 

[Crabwhale]

Ah yes I believe I was going to bring up the whole "adding examples" thing but seems that was already added.

 

[Crabwhale]

I would however like to note that we do not currently have any examples on that page for injury tolerance. As such, I'd recommend Phineas Gage and Jacques Roellinger.

Here's why:

5 bizarre accidents that people survived against all odds

Impaled, blown up, and dropped from the sky. These are the sorts of events that should kill you, but these folks all survived. Here are their tales.

[Promestein]

Not sure if Gage's a peak human feat, that's just sheer stupid luck.

The other is fine though if you just write out a little description for it, I'm kinda wiped out on this stuff

 

[Crabwhale]

Will do then.

 

[Kulf_Boba]

There should be no such level:

• Regenerative: characters whose stamina is regenerative in nature, meaning that they gather energy to keep fighting from an external source, or somehow automatically produce energy within themselves. Note that possessing a regenerative factor does not mean that the stamina is regenerative. For example, Dragon Ball Z's Perfect Cell can regenerate from a single surviving cell, but it possesses a limited amount of energy and ki.

 

[Promestein]

That's not how it works, no. Regeneration is unrelated unless it runs out when stamina does.

 

[Kulf_Boba]

That's not how it works, no. Regeneration is unrelated unless it runs out when stamina does.

But I am not talking about regular regeneration, but regenerative stamina.

 

[Omnificence]

Are you guys sure we shouldn't add anymore levels? I mean, I still think we should add Above Average and Nigh-Infinite, but I'll go with whatever everyone else thinks.

 

[KLOL506]

Are you guys sure we shouldn't add anymore levels? I mean, I still think we should add Above Average and Nigh-Infinite,

Above Average? Maybe, but do you have any feats in mind? Otherwise I think Athletic covers it just fine.

Nigh-Infinite can refer to any period of time and so on, too ambiguous. Same goes for Godlike and the stuff.

 

[Antvasima]

Yes, I think that the current system that Promestein set up is fine, given how hard it is to gauge stamina exactly with Massively FTL+ time compression involved and the like.

 

[Armorchompy]

Athletic covers Above Average just fine indeed and Nigh-Infinite means literally nothing.

 

[Crabwhale]

We have already told you several times, that no, we do not require more levels. Please stop responding if you have nothing else to add.

 

[Omnificence]

Well, there is this; plus I've heard this from wikis:

• At best the walking distance is for the average with the maximum being four miles or jogging past 4 to 8 miles in 30 to 55 minutes.
• This kind of person able to jog reasonable distances before becoming tired. Are able to exercise on a regular basis and complete a full workout routine with some difficulty.

@Crabwhale Also, I was about to reply to KLOL with this if you'd only let me finish rather than rudely intervine.

 

[Crabwhale]

What I said still stands. Timing be inconvenient as it may, you don't have a place in a staff thread unless: a) you're a vital contributor or b) you've gotten permission from a staff member.

@Crabwhale I understand, but you didn't have to give such a stern demeanor just to get your point across. I did at least give you guys one more stamina level after all, did I not?

 

[Crabwhale]

Anyway for Jacques Roellinger:

Survived getting shot, cut and stabbed numerous times, getting tortured by burning splinters of wood on his chest, having a fragment of an exploding shell embedded in his thigh, having his lungs damaged by a passing bullet, getting bayonetted through the liver and diaphragm, and finally being shot right through the jaw. His only lingering ill effect was a stiff knee.

@Promestein How does that sound? I know it's a bit long but I felt like I had to get it all on there.
