Psionic Power Levels Chart [Post SC2]

[Gradius]

Here's an updated version of my old psionic power levels chart thread. I didn't want to defile it with info from the epilogue, so I'm making a new thread. Again, pretty much all this is just rampant speculation on my part except where it gives PI levels for some terran characters in the lore.

I'm surprised you put Ulrezaj above Amon's host body, Gradius. Any reason for that? We know Ulrezaj is powerful, but I think you're making him a bit too OPed. Going toe to toe against primal Kerrigan makes sense, but still...

Not sure about hybrid dominators and behemoths, at least for the latter. The former to be higher than primal Kerrigan makes sense, as we already saw in HotS they could still psionically drain her just fine, but I'm unsure about the latter.

Surprised you didn't put the Tal'darim blood hunters on the list. If you did NOT click on the Blood Hunters section until AFTER the 3rd Ulnar mission, Rohana admitted that those Tal'darim warriors are unlike anything she ever encountered.

Yeah, there's no reason for that. Ulrezaj must be weaker than Amon's physical form.

Ulrezaj's form was formidable, but he couldn't destroy entire bases with the flick of a hand, or withstand orbital bombardment from multiple fleets.

[ragnarok]

Yeah, there's no reason for that. Ulrezaj must be weaker than Amon's physical form.

Ok yes the Xel'Naga don't seem to have very good fighting abilities, but in that sense that could be another reason for why Amon needed a host body in the first place. It's possible that the Xel'Naga, along with the whole ascension process, was never intended to have offensive fighting ability, and Ouros merely made an exception to this for Kerrigan.

Besides otherwise you'd just be making Ulrezaj way too OPed. If he was really that powerful, then how the hell could Zamara have even trapped him in the khaydarin crystal at Elhna in the first place?

[Gradius]

Fair enough I'll change it. I just remember being underwhelmed by Amon's one laser that destroyed our base, whereas Ulrezaj dished out a fuck-ton of damage to 3 armies. He killed a dozen mutalisks with one attack, survived dozens of scourges dive-bombing him while guardians were assaulting him in the background as he was busy destroying pretty much everyone else. Any zerg that went too close to him turned to ash.

[ragnarok]

You may also want to make Zamara's psionic power a bit higher, since she's the one who trapped Ulrezaj in the first place.

Personally I never felt Ulrezaj was really THAT powerful as you're implying. Remember, even in the DT Saga book, zerg scourges could hurt him, and those aren't very strong....

I just remember being underwhelmed by Amon's one laser that destroyed our base, whereas Ulrezaj dished out a fuck-ton of damage to 3 armies.

Oh that. Well remember what Karax said at the beginning of the mission: if the development of Amon's body continued, even the Protoss' strongest weapons would be useless against him. It seemed to me that the Daelaam destroyed all the Void Shards before the host body could be finished.

Amon merely had enough and decided to use the host body, and didn't think Artanis would order every ship to fire on it. We saw nothing of the sort like that happen on Ehlna. Something tells me Ulrezaj would not have survived if EVERY Protoss ship in the fleet arrived and fired on him...

The bottom line is that Amon's host body was destroyed almost the moment it woke up, before it had a chance to do ANYTHING. Ulrezaj, by comparison, had more time to do things, I think it was because people were caught off-guard by him being there, whereas everyone knew exactly where Amon was, and merely needed to blow the Void Shards to remove the protection barrier.

It was "dozens" of them, and they're designed to blow up giant starships.

Well, he should be rated at the level he was actually at, not the potential he had.

[ragnarok]

It was "dozens" of them, and they're designed to blow up giant starships.

I never said it was only a few. And in any case having all the Daelaam ships fire on Amon's host body would result in more destruction than just scourges' kamikaze attacks.

Now, as for the level he was actually at and not the potential he had, this is why I believe that the Xel'Naga had really high psionic power in every area except offensive fighting abilities. Granted we don't really know why that's the case though....

[TheEconomist]

It appears that SC is keeping up with the Western trend in fiction of having its most powerful entities have much lower power levels than random anime kids.

Gradius, what is your reasoning for placing Alarak so far below Malash?
