General World of Darkness Discussion Thread QQ Edition

So I thought to feed Grondr near animal form (from W20 changing breeds book) to AI. So we have pretty big piggies IRL and even bigger fossils.
So in the book we have this description for Daeodon:
boar that stood almost 6 feet at the shoulder and was more than 10 feet long

Per GPT it would be:
If it retains domestic-pig-like body depth and bulk, it could realistically hit:
👉 2,200–2,800 lbs (Well over a ton)

It would run at 25-30mph and hit like one too (or a rhino) and very, very maneuverable. Also, notoriously aggressive. Furthermore:
The skull would be over 100 lb (50kg)
The "shoulder shield" of cartilage could be 4 inches thick

Click to shrink...
So, pretty much forget about small calibers or melee weapons. The tusks would be around half a meter long and able to open cattle in one go. The boar would be able to flip small cars and knock down trees. What's more interesting a boar this size is completely biologically viable.

Then they give stats. Apparently that unit of a boar (who should be better than mundane one) is only:
Str +3, Dex +1, Sta +3

What do you think? Reasonable? too low?
 
Yep, considering Bears have Strength 5.

Attributes and, really, Storytellers whole trait system is a bit... finicky. Narratively, every point advantage is multiple times better than the previous one. But mechanically, only linearly.
Which is why a weak Human is Strength 1, average 2 and peak human is 5. But Bears are also 5.

I square it by just assuming WOD peak human is anime/comic book bullshit
