P.S. Blast Radius

I have a question for those who have an agmented P.S. (tremendous, superhuman, extrodianry etc...), Whats the blast radius from a punch? The reason why I ask is that in my game the blast radius is one inch around and deep from impact, so a PS of 12 or more really stands out.

Hmm, I'd say:
Extraordinary: Damage x 0.33 inches
Superhuman: Damage x 0.67 inches
Supernatural: Damage x 1 inch
This assumes a fairly hard target, such as a car, brick wall, armor, etc.

Exhausting the S.D.C. just leaves a hole that is half the diameter of the blast radius. (Something I forgot to mention.)

Quarter, half and full inch would be a good idea. Hmm....

i think a "blast radius" for punches would be a bit silly. when a punch is thrown, whatever is hit takes damage.

I think he is trying to address the collateral damage
I like the SDC/damage formula, it even, and consistant. The drywall and bank vault door will treated the same.
However if the total SDC of the object hit is destroyed then I might say you just put a clean hole in the darn thing
so with a 10' vault door at 1000 sdc and damage of 10 pts done would indent 1% of the door,...
seems a bit much hmmmm
How about anything under 10% makes no visible affects, so it would take 100 pts to create a 1' wide dent in the door
