Supernatural Growth and Strength
If your average strength 10 5'10" human male was to suddenly grown to 140 meters tall how strong would be be assuming he maintains strength proportional to his weight?

Re: Supernatural Growth and Strength
However strong tou want him to be; we’re ignoring physics from the outset, and even with the results (he’s not collapsing under his own weight, overheating, or suffering from blood loss in the brain and pooling in the legs).

Re: Supernatural Growth and Strength
5'10" = 1.778 metres.
140/1.778 = 78.74016, cubed = 488,190 x human mass, therefore the same for strength. So square root of 488,190 = 698.7059 x10 ST = ST 6,987. More "realistic" ST is ST 787 (increase squared instead of cubed), followed by immediate catastrophic skeletal collapse and death. Last edited by mr beer; 04-17-2018 at 09:20 PM. |

Re: Supernatural Growth and Strength
As per the Growth advantage (which I assume the char has or was afflicted with) in the Basic Set: 5 times final height in yards. Quick and dirty approximation of 1 yard equivalent to 1 meter is 140x5, or ST 700. YMMV depending on if you go for a more accurate meter<>yard conversion.

Re: Supernatural Growth and Strength
Isn't 4e ST supposed to be above and beyond that which you need to support yourself and minimally move? That is, you don't need to calculate a ST score necessary to give you those baseline abilities and buy that along with your SM. That's built in. And a ST of "10" is notionally just the force you can apply beyond those maintenance levels, not the total output of your muscles. So, you can't build a character that collapses under his own weight, unless you could go to ST -1.

What the OP is describing, though, is the logic not of a semirealistically scaled humanoid lifeform with BL proportional to limb and trunk cross-section, but the logic of a giant who can pick up objects on their own scale, giving the same visual impression as a human being with everything just that much bigger. Kind of like the enlarged Ant-Man in Civil War, for example.
