fbdaury Posted May 18, 2009 Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 Ok, weights are easy to do thanks to the strength chart but I wanted to work on a conversion of Dragon Man and his OHOTMU listing says that his fire breath produces flames of 8,000 F in temperature, leaving me to wonder how many dice of RKA would that be- anyone want to field a guess...

Guest steamteck Posted May 18, 2009 Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 Re: Real World Benchmarks 8000 frickin' degrees? Well, stepping into the lions jaw. Thermite in the Equipment guide does 2d6 ka ap and its burns at roughly 4500 F while napalm which burns at about 2200 F does the same damage according to the Equipment guide but is not AP ( but explosive of course, could be area to I suppose). Maybe 3d6 AP totally subjectively? Emotionally seems like it ought to be more. Really. whatever you want it to be the achieve the effect you want. I'm sure our scientists here can either give you a more precise estimate or tell you how useless an exercise trying to do so is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fbdaury Posted May 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 Re: Real World Benchmarks Thanks for the suggestion Steamteck, I was able to find in the 5th ed book that a Blast furnace (which can hit upto about 4000-5000 degrees F) does about 6d6 KA in the Fire section so I think I'll go with that. Just trying to model something as close to the listed character a possible- this NPC is literally a monster! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
assault Posted May 18, 2009 Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 Re: Real World Benchmarks You are basically dealing with a combat effect here. What effect should his breath have on opponents, especially the PCs? Once you know that, you can give him an attack to match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
