Hello guys
Recently, Netflix released The Witcher series, and initially I didn't care but with people praising the quality of the series, I decided to give it a try, and boooooi what a smart move of my part. I really liked it, the characters and the world itself, and then I bought the books (The Last Wish, Sword of Destiny and Season of Storms, for now, are completed), and I also found the story incredible, LEAGUES ahead from the netflix series, then it was time for the games.
I read about W1 and 2, then I went for W3, and jesus this is the best game I ever played, it's just too good to be true, now I'm going for W2. But anyway, going for the actual thread now, this Gaunter boi surprised me, such a good and interesting character, and Hearts of Stone knew how to make him a great antagonist, but then I was disappointed with his profile here, why, do you ask ? Because it's filled with...unnecessary downplay, I believe
ABOUT HIS AP
Gaunter is listed as 7-C for basically being far superior to everything in the game, however summoning a storm is usually Low 7-B to 7-B, and while Eredin's storm is indeed Low 7-C via calc, Djinn's storms should be just 7-B, I don't know why we are scalling Eredin's storm to Djinn's storms, since we know that Djinns are far more powerful than him and are capable of creating true storms
Then, we have the "likely much higher" part, and I ask, why ? The feat that can give Gaunter something higher than 7-B isn't Unknown or Uncalculable, it's 4-A via creating a dimension filled with stars, no reason to omit this. Now I know that it's only possible that he created it, that's why he should have "Possibly 4-A" listed, not just solid 4-A
Then, just remove his "Unknown" tier, because we already have scalling for him to give him solid tiers
My suggestion:
ABOUT HIS NATURE
Gaunter not only have many interesting feats, but he also have statements about his nature, most of them saying that he's the root of all evil or evil incarnated. His profile say this to us:
possibly Conceptual Manipulation (Unknown type) and Abstract Existence (Unknown type), should he truly be the root of all evil as posited by Professor Shakeslock and the research material found in his house.
Now what is the problem here ? The real doubt about the nature of his existence is whether he is indeed the root of evil or no, but if he is, with the information we have, we can define the type of Concept hax and AE that he possesses, just look at the statement. Being the embodiment/root of all evil is, by our standards, Type 2 Conceptual Manipulation, and being the embodiment of Evil itself is Type 2 Abstract Existence, the story makes unclear about his true nature but the statements can give us solid types for both Concept Hax and AE
So my suggestion is to change them from "Unknown Type" to Type 2 for both, while keeping the "Possibly" since, as I said, it's not clear if he is really the root of all evil and stuff

ABOUT HIS AP
- Unknown. At least Town level (Should be vastly superior to any mage or djinn, who have shown various feats of storm creation, and can summon meteors), likely much higher (Implied to have created a pocket dimension that had its own moon and stars)

My suggestion:
- At least City level (Stronger than Djinns who are capable of creating storms, created one strong enough to sink Geralt's ship), possibly Multi-Solar System level (Implied to have created a dimension filled with stars)
