The lightning dodging feats page

[Antvasima]

Hello.

Based on the discussion in this thread, DontTalk has suggested that we should rewrite the "Scientific basis"-section of the Lightning Dodging Feats page in the following manner:

Scientific basis
The speed of lightning can vary mostly in the range of 1.0-14×105 m/s. For the purpose of calculating speed feats we use the average lightning speed of 4.4×105 m/s, which is suggested by this study. Similar studies have found average speeds within the same order of magnitude, albeit lower. [1][2][3]

The clouds that usually cause thunderstorms build about 200m to 4000m above the ground.[4] In this wiki, 2000m is the standard assumption.

With the reference list in the reference section at the bottom of the page.

What do the rest of you think about this?

I like his suggestion.

That looks much cleaner. It would help aspiring calcers who haven't done lightning dodges a lot as well as making it easier for anyone to effectively cite sources if someone is sceptical.

This.

Thank you for the feedback.

 

[WeeklyBattles]

Looks good to me

 

[Kaltias]

Good for me as well

 

[Antvasima]

Okay. Thanks. I suppose that it should probably be fine to update the section then.

 

[Antvasima]

I have now done so.
