This is a very interesting thread; I just hope it stays civil. Waffle-O! Anyway, here's my two cents:

Penny really doesn't have enough showings, in my honest opinion, for her to contend with a lot of the characters. She hasn't shown that she can deal with any relatively skilled combatant. I mean, how skilled can the White Fang fighters be if they just run towards Penny with no strategy in mind? She simply hasn't done anything impressive skill-wise; all of her showings are of strength or firepower. And we've only see her tank blunt damage. We have no idea how she'll react against piercing damage, which a majority of the characters use. Until we see her fight an opponent on par with the rest of the cast and see her do well, I think that she'd get beaten by most of them.

And Basilisk, I think you're on to something. Force, if there is enough of it, is obviously a factor, but based on what we've seen of Aura so far, I agree with you: the amount of stuff that needs to be defended against is more important than force when it comes to Aura. Perhaps it has to do with Aura weakening. After every use, it seems, the user's Aura weakens. If enough stuff is thrown at a person, their Aura will weaken to the point that they can be severely damaged. I think the food fight alone has solid evidence of that.
