Damage Relevence

So right, I was looking at some things, and well Lets take 2 H-ranks with Mythical grade equipment
(mind this is as if the enemy had no form of defense anyway

H rank Melee damage: 35hp
Mythical Weapon: 20hp for H rank and above

so a mythical grade weapon will deal 55hp worth per hit, right?

H-class mages: 700 HP

so basically 7.5% ish damage per swing yes?

Purchased weapons boost the value of unarmed melee damage by a set amount and have a set durability. Requip weapons may differ slightly from this.

But what if say...a decapitation or aim towards a limb is given. I'm fairly certain that'd equivalent to more than 7.5% damage, how is this all calculated? I think we should have a limb/critical strike factor added

Delimbing would deal some massive damage(not lethal but thats a lotta pain...)

then we should considder things such as "attacking the brain/head/heart/lungs/other organs ect..." which all could do a lot more damage easily.


in my opinion the % should only be a minimum, and if the user manages to strike these vital areas and such, then the two players (or if pve) it should just be up to the players at this point, rather than saying oh this is a set % and thats how much you can take

cause at that rate. It'd take 12.7 stabs to your face before you're dead if this was H vs H (mind you, I didnt calaculate ANY defense measures by the enemy... and this could take that 12 and turn it to 20+ easily)

The HP rules are only guidelines to give a base to work from. There is also the heavy and light damage rules in melee.

yeah I understand. Its just one of those. Kinda hard to believe if you get head shot you'd walk away like nothing but I suppose you're right, guidelines are there.

Aye. They are guidelines. On top of that in fairy tail universe we have seen people take huge amounts of physical and magical damage whcih would easily kill someone normally, but....it doesn't. So it seems that we can't put too much realism on our damages.

However, if you do a headshot or slice someone's throat or whatever then feel free to do extra damage though tbh these are mostly for PVP

I've been using the guidlines as a laugh for pve tbh. like in one of my jobs I got delt 20% or so by a bilhook that'd be D-rank. ect.. It just feels realistic some things would do more damage, and in PVE we have the ability to easily expand I'd assume.

Oh yeah in PVE its your story so do what you like lol. Just keep it realistic.

Yeah I know. Thanks Zack. This turned from a suggestion to a clarification I guess.. sorry
