Either statment.

[Twi]

Yo, thread!

I'm busy doing math ferociously to see if Neferis has a shot in hell of performing her action.

I need two estimates: the contact area of her hands (strength is measured in force over area, so I need the area) and her strength compared to normal clay. Preferably in metric units.

[Akroma]

whats her action?

[Twi]

Her action was to try to mess with Dumah's legs to throw off its aim. I figure if I can establish how hard it is for her to support it... (not necessarily lift, mind, I have no idea about her 'muscle' ability, because how the hell am I supposed to figure out her power. I mean, I could figure out how much work is needed to lift Dumah an appreciable distance and then try to figure out if she contains enough energy to do so, or I could try to figure out how much power Dumah's weight is capable of generating and figure out if Neferis can do higher. Either one sounds difficult.)


Anyways, if I can establish that, I can probably get a reasonable DC estimate for this particular action.

[Akroma]

her stats say that she has a strength of 40, and also weighs several tons

to wrestle someone out of the way, that should be helpful. I am thinking Dumah is more of a char with huge magic related stats, rather than raw strength

[Twi]

Yeah, but we never established what that strength means. As for her weight, kind of irrelevant except maybe in determining whether she'd topple over if she lifts Dumah. although if you can find a way to relate that to compressive strength, more power to ya!

oh god the math this is the best physics problem ever

[Akroma]

her strength means she takes a strength roll and adds 40 to it, and Dumah makes an opposed strength roll + whatever strength she has


since she is currently aiming and charging, she might be standing still, so the relevant dex roll might not be relevant.

[Twi]

Mechanically, yes, but Rag has established that Dumah masses approximately 66 metric tons.

That is a lot. :I

...With Selina weighing out at about 30-40 lbs do to having wings modified on her, Neferis could probably throw her farther than most army sniper rifles could shoot given the right conditions... She could also do this with Meme... A flying ball of fur... This game just makes me want to watch anime more!

[Akroma]

yeahh...thats pretty silly. Either he was applying some poetic exageration or it's not thought out very well.

[Twi]

Actually it makes sense. Rag used the Scorpion from Halo as reference. That is a tank. Dumah is a giant robot walker thing. It's not that unreasonable, the things at least 5 times as tall as a person judging from the sketch he made.
EDIT: Looked at it, 8 person heights.

[Akroma]

I kinda feel like I have missed something, if Dumah is some huge mech angel thing, whatever happened to the vessel she snatched in the asylum?


also, I missed the scetch, link?

[Twi]

It pretty much formed around her.  IIRC, she lifted up into what became the 'body'.
Also, I don't think it's spoiling anything at this point,  so here you go. The top thing is a sketch of what it's doing right now- CHARGING ITS LAZOR. :v

Bump for great estimating justice.

[Akroma]

well, I'd say there is little to no chance of throwing of that things aim, unless it's a str crit
