Durability
Introduction
Durability is a term used to define withstanding a certain amount of power. Unlike Stamina, durability isn't based off your endurance, but rather what you can survive. Under Newton's Third Law of motion it is noted that every action has an equal and opposite reaction, so normally for someone to be producing high energy with their Attack Potency, they must logically be able to withstand it, which would apply to their durability. Some attempt to argue that this cannot be used as authors in fiction do not realize this, however, this in itself is a faulty argument as there's a lot of different things the author is at times "not realizing" that would make it nigh-impossible to even gauge statistics properly if we allowed it. A lot of authors also seem to understand the idea of being able to withstand what one can dish out too, with one's who clearly don't portray their character this way having themself get hurt upon unleashing massive amounts of energy.
Misconceptions with Durability
- A major misconception with durability falls under a person assuming if a character survived an attack at all, even if they knocked it out, they must scale to the person's Attack Potency as it would have killed them otherwise. This is not the case, if an attack instantly knocked you out, that means the attack did so much damage your body could not withstand it, and essentially shut itself off. This does not scale to durability at all as one did not withstand anything with this feat.
- Another misconception is a character should be able to scale to an attack in durability even if it broke their bones due because "if it didn't completely vaporize their bones then they did withstand it somewhat". This is completely false, with this same logic, real life humans would reach up to wall level in durability as some can survive getting run over by cars but amass massive injuries from it. Technically they've only "withstood" it because the force of the attack they took only focused on specific spots that were thankfully non-lethal, this is not due to their durability. Do note that withstanding something should be one survive hits from the attacker, being able to still stand, or no real indication that the attacks are breaking their bones in a single hit.

Additional terms
"+" symbol
The "+" symbol is used when the Durability has been calculated to be greater than the average (arithmetic mean) of the high end energy level and low end energy level 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. Usually listed for characters that have done a feat superbly casually.
At most
Should be used to denote the higher cap of a character, if the exact value is indeterminate. Usually listed for characters that have done a feat that is questionable compared to their other feats.
Likely
Should be used to list a hypothetical statistic for a character, but inconclusive due to lack of feats or viable power-scaling. Probability of said hypothetical statistic should be favourable.
Possibly
Should be used to list a hypothetical statistic for a character, but inconclusive due to lack of feats or viable power-scaling. Probability of said hypothetical statistic should also be indeterminate.
