Point noted. So do we stick to the original on everything?
I'm not clear on the damage system or the sura ranks for that matter. If that seems like a longshot, guide me in the right direction. Will a 2nd stage Mara be right? How is damage being calculated and what are the hitpoints on the sura?
To first question: As much as simplicity permits it.
To second question:
To make it simple, in the original, a "Hoti Marut" with no marut attribute made (Me talking about Airi vs Clophe) around 10~15cm deep cut, around 30~40cm long. Very vague, I know, but let's say it's around this. Although we don't know what Airi's divine affinity is.
Until you hit it in the neck or something, you wouldn't have done this much damage, because sura regenerate quite fast and they're quite big. Must have been around 2/3 meters tall, at least.
By the way, stage is basically the maturity of the sura, in both mental/psychlogical and power ways. They grow up one stage at a time once they have enough exp+ a trigger, which is an experience stronger than all the ones they had before. Exp in what, that varies. Can go all the way from survival instinct to humiliation or gluttony.
A second stage Mara is really weak, and if their mentality evolves the same ways as the other suras' you killed an 8-years oldish kid.
Well, in mental age.
They can't go up in "ranks", just stages. Growing fifth stage is rare and tougher than the stages before. The kid of a sura will usually be one rank lower. May be same rank as the lowest of the couple, if those are different.
For damage:
Spell damage: Divine Affinity * Base Damage of spell
Transcendental damage: Transcendental Value * Base Damage of transcendental
Unaided combat: Strength
Exact average power comparison for sura may be given by someone who bought one of the books, like Tierra, cause that's where it was displayed, but I think it is like this (strongest on top):
Natsika<= No stages, were born at the beginning of the universe. Not aging is awesome. Can change gender, appearance and age at will.
5th stage Rakshasa
4th stage Rakshasa
3rd stage Rakshasa
5th stage Upani
2nd stage Rakshasa
1st stage Rakshasa<= unsure about this one
4th stage Upani
3rd stage Upani
5th stage Mara<=From then on, inferior sura, unable to take human form. Above can, but they look like Halfs and are detected at checkpoints like with real Halfs.
2nd stage Upani
1st stage Upani<=unsure about this one as well
4th stage Mara
3rd stage Mara
2nd stage Mara<=What you've killed
1st stage Mara
Back to the point, since 5th stage Upani have a constitution of around 65 000, but them being the 5th strongest rank, while 2nd stage Mara are the second weakest... ...
Your divine affinity is 883, and base damage for Hoti Marut is... either 3 or 5, I dunno.
You did either 2649 damage, or 4415.
Manta, give us average constitution of sura, please.
And sorry for all the talk ... ^^'
