So im curious, how do explosive techniques work? For example, rockets, bombs, grenades, etc., How do they scale according to rank? Like how much can a rank 4, 8, 14 etc., explosion do? Within what range of effect (considering explosions are roughly AOEs). I only ask because while physical attacks like melee weapons and martial arts seem pretty straight forward, i'm not sure where to begin with potentially making explosive techniques. Thanks :P |

rankx2 is always a good place to start for bomb making |

But as far as how strong they can be? Like a Rank 1 explosion is like... pop rocks? Haha, That's where im really stuck, because I assume that explosions are... dangerous? |

Rank ones are like firecrackers, they don't actually do much. Check Hideo's Hideo and Drift's Jolon for examples |

I've already strolled through Jolon's tech, but even his are kinda out there. I was looking for something alittle more base line. All for the sake of making a new character perhaps. |

this also falls under rank, explosion damage is rankx2 equivalency of strength. |

That's hardstatting Dark, we don't hardstat. It's relative remember? See with relativity, it's kinda hard to give you any kind of benchmark in terms of damage. But you know the benchmarks for breaking materials so you can figure from there. A rank 14 would probably blow open a wall, a 28 would probably blow up a normal house or stuff like that. It's just impossible to say "this rank will do that damage" because damage relies on a lot more factors than just rank. There's armour, materials and such along with the roleplay circumstances to account for as well. Your explosives have a range and a rank to denounce their power. From there you should see in the rp itself what it would do. There's guys that die of explosions and there's guys who keep kicking ass with half a face. Excuse the ramblings, I just figured "numbers" doesn't really answer your question either. |

Material breaking ranks are good in my opinion. It should also be able to put in other factors. Wood is flammable, a low rank fire explosive might not be able to instantly destroy it, but give it a bit of time in terms of the rp itself and who knows, maybe you'd have started a fire that would spread and do even more damage. Just gotta be reasonable along those lines as well. |

I said equivalency of strength. A rank 44 regular concussive shockwave bomb will do similar to a 88 strength punch just in a huge area and capable of leveling the environment up to probably i'd say steel or titanium tier. We had a dicussion about this just recently in the wc don't you remember Ice. Pretty sure you were an admin when it came up. There's plenty of room left to rp that out based on that information so it's not completely hard stat since stats are relative anyway. |

You just contradict yourself, if stats are relative what does that 88 strength punch mean. They're also not hardstat so that 88 means nothing on it's own. This is just confusing members if you start spouting rulings like these. Also even if we had a discussion about it, that doesn't mean I'll enforce it as good rp until it's a rule. Which it isn't. It's a rule of thumb at best not "this is the answer and that's final". And neither am I staff any more so I'm just advising people in a way they can't go wrong. Your suggestion might work now, but what's it gonna be 2 weeks, a month when you decided that formula is broken? |

you're word twisting now Ice. its clear a 50 strength punch at max strength will be stronger than a 25 at max strength. That is the difference it the knowledge that this is like getting hit by a 88 strength force that you then have to figure out how this would play into everything in the rp. So to sum up my response to everything you just said "No." |
