Stat boosts

Okay this is my first time suggesting something so please go easy on me. I especialy fear Kyll's wrath above all...

So I have noticed that people put percentages of stat boosts on their character sheets. The one thing that I am realizing is that these are percentages of NOTHING. We are not told how fast these characters run, how much they can lift or how long they can sprint. There is no mathematical exact to base it off. So I am suggesting players that next time they update their character sheets to put a few statistical exacts of their characters. It would make buffs more meaningful.

For example my character can bench press for 500 pounds and then I add a 25% buff to my strength.My new carrying capacity would now be 625 pounds.

Makes sense to me. I will be doing this on Zack's new magic, if only till the stat system comes in, as a ton of his stuff is based on percentages.

Now the question is what would be a fair unboosted, strength, max speed and acceleration for a H rank mage who specialises in heavy hitting physical attacks. And Stamina for that matter. (like how long should I be able to fight/run for going all out)

Also, some of my stats that I plan to boost aren't exactly...normal. I mean...endurance boosts how many hits I can take before I go down...that I get. Precision will boost my accuracy and reflexes will boost how quickly I react to things.

However, stats like 'knockback enhancement' aren't exactly...easy to define a baseline for. It basically increases the chance of him sending an opponent flying and the distance the opponent is sent flying without actually adding any extra damage.

See like everything, it depends on how it is done. Many things can create Knockback resistance like air resistance, gravity and weight. I am sure we as mature of a community as we are can decide together what constitutes as normal.

So why dont we sit down as a community sit down and decide what shall be considered normal. Even if its outrageous now, it will benefit in long run.

Seems almost like creating a pseudo-stat system.

Still I think it would be fair enough.

Of course, we will likely get a lot of people saying 'oh i'm really strong and can lift x' but if there magic was say...summoning...then they are unlikely to be as beefy as say a requipper.

Zack isn't super beefy, but he is a H rank mage and as such his body would be magically stronger, even without buffs, than his S rank self. So i'd say he can probably bench press like 1000lbs(not quite the world record in real life, but close to it.) or something. Zack is however super fast...that is something he has dedicated himself too so for example his sprint for 100m is probably less than five seconds, so he can do it in under half the world record. In fact, he can probably cover it in about three at most.

Not so much a pseudo stat system as much. More like covering the who would win in a strength, speed and durability contest. If 2 swords were to parry, then the stronger of the 2 should be able by brute force push the other person back. In fact if their strength is not even equal then how did the parry work in first place?

You have a fair point.

well some people rely on speed instead of strength, it does not take much strength to redirect someones sword, this i know from experience from fencing and kendo.

Then Towa thats superiority by Role Play and should be rewarded as such. Roleplay is the foremost alpha thing of importance and nothing can beat it. I mean for situations like 2 people arm wrstling, speed races and stamina that compete with other charries, but without a clear winner.
