Basic Potence
Innate Strength + Potence Capabilities and Potential
1 The vampire can lift 40 lbs, the weight of an average microwave or armchair.
This is the level of strength for a Below Average character, who is not using Potence.
This level of strength is within the boundaries of human norms.
2 The vampire can lift 100 lbs, the weight of a standard dresser.
This is the level of strength for an Average character who is not using Potence;
or a Below Average character with Potence 1. This level of strength is within the
boundaries of human norms.
3 The vampire can lift 250 lbs, the approx weight of Arnold Schwarzenegger,
(apparantly!) This is the level of strength for an Above Average character who is
not using Potence; an Average character with Potence 1; or a Below Average character
with Potence 2. This level of strength is within the boundaries of human norms.
4 The vampire can lift 400 lbs, the approx weight of a 250cc motorcycle.
At this level 'superhuman' strength becomes somewhat evident. Wood or plaster walls
and doors can be broken through with fists alone. Distances of up to 8 feet can be
jumped horizontally, and up to 4 feet vertically.
5 The vampire can lift 650 lbs, the approx weight of a grizzly bear.
This is when the supernatural nature of Potence becomes readily apparant. A heavy
locked door can be wrenched off of its hinges, brick walls can be cracked
with a punch, distances of 8~12 feet can be jumped horizontally, and 4~8 feet vertically.
6 The vampire can lift 850 lbs, the approx weight of the heaviest human
being to ever live. This is the highest level achieveable without using blood to
augment strength, by those who innately have Below Average strength (rated 1)
with Potence 5. A human chest can be smashed through with a single punch, distances
of 15~18 feet jumped horizontally, and 8~10 feet vertically.
7 The vampire can lift 1200 lbs, the approx weight of a Harley Davidson motorcycle.
A brick wall can be punched through as if it were plaster. This is the highest level
achieveable without using blood to augment strength, by those by those who innately have
Average strength (rated 2) with Potence 5. Distances of 18~22 feet can be jumped
horizontally, and 10~12 feet vertically.
8 The vampire can lift 1500 lbs, the approx weight of five linebackers.
The vampire can punch through a steel wall with repeated blows, and break bones
with an open-handed slap. This is the highest level achieveable without using blood
to augment strength, by those who innately have Above Average strength (rated 3)
with Potence 5. Distances of 22~25 feet can be jumped horizontally, and 12~15
feet vertically.
9* The vampire can lift 2000 lbs, and tear a fire hydrant from the ground.
Distances of 25~28 feet can be jumped horizontally, and 15~18 feet vertically.
10* With effort, the vampire can lift 4000 lbs, the weight of a car.
Being able to throw it at opponents is, however, a matter for Level 6 and higher
Potence powers and Elders... Distances of 28~35 feet can be jumped horizontally,
and 20~25 feet vertically.
