Finally here, and I am nervous as shit.
Introduction
Originally, this was only suppose to go over the stats of the avatar key, but after a Discord conversation with Ultima, I figured out that I didn't need to change around anything with the Deadlights or the cosmology of the verse. So with that, **** it, this CRT is going all the way. Going over the stats of both the avatar key, and the Deadlights eye, along adding the P&A tabber for the Deadlights.
Now, as for what exactly this CRT is. I am pretty much rewriting the entire book Pennywise page, along with any pages that are crucial to scaling the Deadlights (Basically just the Dark Tower. Maturin isn't all that important to scaling Pennywise, and I won't be touching the Gan key. I'll leave that to the Tier 1 experts).
Here is the Pennywise rewrite, so you can compare it to the original. Here is the Dark Tower AP rewrite (This one honestly isn't all that different from the current one. Just some mild rewording that ultimately says the same thing, and added some scans).
Notable Changes
Just like with the last three CRTs, there are some changes that I will have to explain.
1. Fanart.
I know the pictures used in this rewrite are fanart, but since this is a book, there aren't any official pieces of art for Pennywise that are good or accurate to the book, so we had to compensate. This practice isn't new, has been around for years, and is okay as long as we credit the artists, which I did (Unlike the current profile).
Also replaced the Deadlight picture because the one in this rewrite is more accurate to what's described in the book.
2. Just straight up High 7-A.
The "likely higher" there because the earthquake Pennywise caused was estimated to be more devastating than the 1960 Valdivia Earthquake. However, I removed it since it isn't really necessary. Unless Pennywise completely screwed with the continental plates (Which is what would be required in order to warrant the 6-B rating iirc. Nowhere is it stated that Pennywise actually messed with the plates), then it wouldn't get him to a tier higher than High 7-A. That, and it would just be more consistent with what we have.
3. MFTL+ Pennywise.
This comes from an accepted calc that was based off Pennywise coming to Earth. It is made clear that Pennywise didn't use some kind of spaceship or meteor to get to Earth, he got there himself, so this is a speed thing done by him (Which is possible, given he can shapeshift into things that can fly).
Some others have argued that this is just Dimensional Travel, but that doesn't actually stop it from being a speed feat, and it hasn't with other dudes like Samur Maykr. The Losers literally watched it travel from "outside of everything", and there is no explicit mention of conventional dimension travelling means (I.E. Teleportation, portals, etc) being used here.
As for why we don't see him travel this fast in the rest of the book while chasing the Losers. Well, not only is Pennywise incredibly arrogant, believing that it doesn't need to do much in order to gain its goals against people, but it just doesn't need to travel that fast in order to accomplish its goals. If anything, moving at these speeds would hinder its goals. Think about what Pennywise wants, it wishes to eat people after scaring the shit out of them. Pennywise can't really scare people if it is moving too fast for them to react in the first place, hence why we see it move at lesser speeds.
That, and also, the Losers Club throughout the book are being benefited/protected by a higher power (See weaknesses) that is either Maturin or Gan (Both are reality warping gods that dwarf Pennywise in power), and it has shown that this higher power can affect the physical stats like strength of others. So that can be another reason why he doesn't just instantly blitz the Losers all the time.
The calc itself also mentions that this position is supported by other stuff in the book, such as Richie being able to react to things while moving at the speed of light. There is also that to consider.
That is pretty much it when it comes to the controversial changes.
If you have something to say, please do so.
