This CRT will be focusing on The Last of Us verse and look at potential changes that can be made to the character's profiles
The main thing that I want to point out is that skull crushing has been nerfed from Wall Level to Street Level. So characters and their firearms shouldn't have that feat listed. I don't think this means that the characters of the verse should be nerfed to Street Level though. There are clearly some pretty good Wall Level feats, such as Bloaters casually destroying large walls and tables, Abby driving Ellie through a floor, and a small group of infected being able to take down fully grown moose. So the verse is obviously Wall Level, we just need a good calc for the verse to go off of so that we aren't just calling them baseline. Destroying a table is listed as 273,000 Joules, and a bloater could do this pretty easily. Abby smashing Ellie through a floor might also be something that we can calc. Ultamitly, the verse should scale below 273,000 Joules, with weaponry and stronger opponents like the Bloater and Rat King being exactly 273,000 Joules. Because of this change, most fights the characters are in should be removed due to the AP of The Last of Us now being drasically different than when most of those fights were made.
As for the verses LS, crushing a skull is 500kg of force, so Joel, Ellie, and Regular Infected are Peak Human in LS. Abby can snap necks and easily overpower Ellie, so her Class 1 LS still works. Clickers and Bloaters should all have Class 1 LS due to being able to overpower Abby without much difficulty, with Abby only having a chance against them with a shiv. The Rat King could move around an ambulence, which weigh 10,000-14,000 lbs, or 4535-6350 kg. The Rat King didn't lift up the whole thing, it just shook it around a lot. So something like High Class 1 to Low Class 5 would make sense for it.
Also this might be an unpopular opinion, but each infected should have it's own key, rather than just having 2 keys and having a majority of the infected clumped together. The runners and stalkers might not need different keys, but the runners and clickers almost 100% need different keys, as one of them is a fodder enemy that can be killed by pretty much anyone in the verse, and the other is a nearly unstoppable opponent that even the strongest humans in the verse have trouble taking down without weapons. So I think we should have 4 keys. Runners/Stalkers, Clickers, Bloaters/Shamblers, and The Rat King.
Also, Joel and Ellie's profiles are missing a lot of abilities. They both have access to explosives and molotovs, so they should have a lot more hacks than he has listed on their profiles. Granted, most of them are due to weaponry, but it would still count. Some abilities they should have:

- Ellie should have Stealth Mastery due to being able to hide on the same level as Joel
- Both should have Fire Manipulation due to Molotovs & Joel having a Flamethrower
- Both should have Smoke Manipulation due to Smoke Bombs
- Both should have Explosion Manipulation due to Nail Bombs and Ellie's Explosive Arrows
- Joel & Abby should have a resistance to disease and poison with their Gas Mask
- All 3 of the Main Characters should have preperation on their profile due to benifiting greatly when given time to prepare for a situation
- Joel's intelligence should be listed as "Above Average", not as "High"
- All 3 should have Statistics Amplification through being able to upgrade their speed and durability through pills (Might count as GPM)
