We should only scale tiers from total energy output, not from pressure. Sorry.
 
520 psi is enough to crush a skull according to this link. 406 psi is enough to crush most bones and easily dent into metal, and I'm pretty sure that crushing bones with your bare hands with compressive strength is impossible for humans.
 
If wolves are given 9-B via bite force rather than energy output, that should be adjusted.
 
AFAIK, wikipedia states that wolves can bite with forces possibly upto 1500 psi regardless of size.
 
Maybe we should start making calcs for these type of things.
 
Again, any profiles that scale by bite pressure rather than energy output should be adjusted. It is strictly against the rules and conveniences of this wiki.
 
Okay. But crushing bones and skulls in and out of itself is Wall level, which wolves can do, so I think the feat is fine.
 
What has been calculated in terms of energy is not just biting through a narrow part of a skull, but the energy required for crushing it.

I would appreciate if you adjust the profiles that scale from bite pressure.
 
Well, then somebody should link to the relevant calculation instead of citing bite pressure.
 
Then again I have no idea what to adjust the profiles to so some help from the calc experts is appreciated.
 
Again, you should link to the skull crushing energy calculation, not make guesses based on bite pressure.
 
I updated the profiles and added the calculation link on the striking strength's section.
 
Okay. Thanks.

Should we close this thread then?
