The High 5-A calc for Warhammer 40k seems pretty flawed

[Qawsedf234]

The current calc is here.

To make it short, the calc is saying the following

• The KE of the planet's explosion will get you High 5-A
• A demon who happened to be on the planet survived
• The demon then scales to the full value

A planetary explosion is, well, planet-sized the Daemon is not. It happened because a ship was rammed into the core and caused it to explode. The Daemon wasn't near the ship's explosion or the mantel of the planet. It was on the surface. In fact right after this scene you can see bodies of dead Space Marine's who were killed by the explosion but retained their basic shape.

While the planet explosion is High 5-A, the Daemon would take a fraction of that energy. For example, even if the Daemon was something like 20 meters tall and weighing 100 tons he'd take at most Tier 6 levels of energy

• Daemon's surface area = BSA = 0.016667 * Weight^0.5 * Height^0.5 = 0.016667 * 100,000^0.5 * 20^0.5 = 23.57069 square meters
• Earth's surface area = 510,100,000 square kilometers or 5.101e+14 meters
• 7.0285479e+37 * (23.57069 / 5.101e+14 ) = 3.2477e+24 Joules (6-A)

This calc shouldn't be used for any AP rating. Especially when it also comes from a video game, which can be canonically questionable at times.

Also the calc was never accepted.

Good thing it isn't going to be used anymore. High 5-A and Low 5-B scaling is getting tossed out the window once siege of terra ends and all the profiles can be updated

Oh alright. So we just wait for that to happen?

Pretty much. It was already agreed upon in a previous CRT that the current tier 5 to tier 4 pages would get downgraded. We're waiting on siege of terra to fully end so we can gather whatever feats there are and give them proper scaling.

Alright, my bad. Didn't know.
