Strengths scaling to AP

[BluudyManikin777]

Can the AP rating be because of lifting strength? If so, then what the AP is depends on which strength is greater, right?

Normally speaking, no, for LS to scale to AP the LS feat must be a rapid feat like rapidly pushing or throwing.

The Lifting Strength page clearly states:

"While Striking Strength measures the energy of a character's physical attacks, Lifting Strength measures the amount of mass they can lift, which is determined by the amount of force a character can produce. This means that they measure two different physical quantities. Furthermore it can't be assumed that a character that can physically produce the amount of energy used in lifting an object by a certain height can also lift it, if it didn't demonstrate the ability to produce that level of Lifting Strength. It is a common feature within fiction to feature characters capable of vastly greater physical striking strength energy outputs than what would be required to lift weights that they are repeatedly shown to struggle with.

Hence Lifting Strength and Striking Strength are in general not comparable and should be evaluated separately."

So there’s this feat of a character pulling something, and the result is 6-A, which is the greatest feat performed by that version of the character. So that would be the AP right?

Depends on whether they pulled it hard enough and fast enough to warrant such a value.

It could be fast enough idk, it was being pulled at around Mach 100

Mach 100 is definitely fast enough to qualify, might even be able to do F=ma out of it.

Alr thanks!

I have a similar question, so I hope you don't mind me asking about it here.
If a character has Peak Human LS due to defeating a bear in a grappling match and then quickly throwing it aside (as bears generally at least have Peak Human LS), does that translate to 9-C AP? Since Peak Human and Street are the LS and AP equivalents of above-Athlete.

No. Punching uses different muscle groups from lifting.

KLOL506 makes sense here

This isn't a punch, however, but a push/throw.

Oh. Didn't see that.

If it's a rapid throw, then it's fine. But you need to calculate the KE of the object being thrown.
