Attack Potency

Explanation
Attack Potency is the term used to determine the amount of damage a character can produce. It is normally the deciding factor of character matches along with Speed. It is measured in units of energy.

Alternate terms for Attack Potency are Destructive Capacity and Energy Output. Important to note is that characters with a certain degree of attack potency do not necessarily need to cause destructive feats on that level, but can instead inflict damage to characters that can withstand such forces.

It should be noted that this technically violates the principles behind the conservation of energy, as it should logically disperse upon impact, but fiction generally tends to ignore this fact, so we overlook it as well.

"+" symbol
The "+" symbol should be used when the Attack Potency is greater than the average (arithmetic mean) of the high and low end energy levels of a particular tier.

Example: Average of Large Building level is: [2 Tons (low end) + 11 tons (high end)]/2 = 6.5 Tons (the arithmetic mean). All energy levels from 2 Tons to 6.5 Tons should be listed as Large Building level, whereas all energy levels from 6.5 Tons to 11 Tons should be listed as Large Building level+.

"At least"
Should be used to denote the lower cap of a character, if the exact value is indeterminate.

"At most"
Should be used to denote the higher cap of a character, if the exact value is indeterminate.

"Likely"
Should be used to list a hypothetical statistic for a character, but inconclusive due to lack of feats or viable power-scaling.

"Possibly"
Should be used to list a hypothetical statistic for a character, but inconclusive due to lack of feats or viable power-scaling.
