  1. No, I'm totally willing to free-wheel some hypotheticals, I just dont have a good idea for a scheme to start with. If you can give me an example one to get things rolling, I'm game.
  2. I really dont think Moash's PoNR was killing Elhokar, I think it was killing Kaladin. In WoR, it wasnt just an assault, he caved in Kaladin's chest with the force-amplified strength of the Shardplate Kaladin had given him, and it would have been lethal if he hadnt managed to repair his Bond. It may have taken Kaladin longer to come around (not surprising given the nature of the Windrunner Oaths regarding those they Hate), but I think Moash's Choice to kill Kaladin was the point he internalized it in his own mind and soul, and the rest since has just been him dealing with (or running from) the fallout.
  3. Godmetal names come from the vessel of the Shard they are tied to, so Lerasium for Leras, Atium for Ati, etc, unless the shard doesnt like the sound of the term, as with Harmonium instead of Sazedium. So far there have been no specific names for an godmetal alloys, and very few actual example of such alloys. As far as I can recall, [SA Spoilers] ), and then the whole retconned Atium/Electrum alloy bit. The only named variant anywhere is Malatium, so we'd have to back into a scheme for that one datapoint to be able to speculate on more.
  4. The conservation slowdown is mostly an issue midair, but should be less of a concern when the hulk in question is grounded and can follow through with the full weight and strength in a proper boxer slam.
  5. Ideally you would bulk up then reduce your weight so you can move far more than your volume would indicate, but you flash Tap all that weight just before the moment of impact to increase the force and/or follow-through when you are punching folks.
  6. Flip it: Tapping Pewterminds adds significant physical Bulk to the feruchemist. I suspect the Bulk does not scale 1:1 with the Strength increase, but While you are tapping Strength you should be able to store more than normal amounts of Weight, and doing so will also make it easier to maneuver with all that added bulk during your Hulk session.
  7. Yup, damage gim into a misteraith like the first generation, then wake him up asap and send him on a worldhopping mission. Let us all see him meet Lift.
  8. "Unbar them Mr Sazed "Double-Diety" Harmony, jeez!" Hmm, for a serious answer? Leecher Marasi still sounds great. Give Wax A-Pewter and an explanation that it actives a Mind-Over-Matter state that is a lot more flexible than most people realize. Learn to grow BIG like a Returned. Store That Weight. Make all his entrances more dramatic. Occationally grow slightly mid conversation just to loom over and intimidate people. For Wayne, maybe F-Electrum with the hope that it proves similarly flexible toward a broad spectrum of mental balances and not exclusively the Manic/Depressive slider they understand so far. Maybe F-Chromium because I think he's got the highest Fortune Stat short of to Lightsong and would have the most to Store. Maybe give him the other Speed Bubble power so he can make his own overlapping time traps. Nah, lets be honest: Wayne gets a massive spike-delivered dose of spiritual damage (not sure which metal) and then Blessings of his very own.
  9. Koloss are made by adding 4 spikes of Physical Strength to a human, but rather than just making a person that is magically as strong as 5 people (more like a Pewterarm) it makes a mutated subspecies with side effects to physical shape, emotional control, intelligence, etc. that are outside the immediate/know effect of such a Spike.
  10. I too have chased this rabbit. Before you run too deep, be aware that it's not 1:1 with the shards, and not all will have a relevant Number. All of the Rosharan system has a 10 theme, with Braize being the 9 exception. And while some shards very much have significant Numbers, most do not.
  11. Benefits are hard to say, since Hemalurgic stacking doesnt always just multiply logically, if Koloss are any indication. They would not need to consume more than normal the single Breath per week, since WOB confirms that's a function of their being Cognitive Shadows and not the DB itself. If we assume they are equivalent Breath Units of Investiture for all Heighening purposes, then they should be able to stack themselves up to the next levels in 5k increments. Unless DB's stick together, they should be able to perform multiple Divine Breath level miracles before they die. The appearance changes are purely a function of Mental Gymnastics and self perception, so that likely will be unaffected out of tte box, but if normal Returned have any hard caps on those augmentations that we havent seen/explored yet (Max height/mass, Max Strength, etc) then they should be able to reach new heights. Being anchored in a Spike might make the additional non-"natural" breaths more resilient and resistance to being consumed by their normal DV or things like Nightblood and Larkin (since Leechers cannot drain a Spike).
  12. I dont know UK rates personally, but I would be surprised if it were much more than the UK shipping cost for one of the books currently on the Dragonsteel store. So you could make a fake order in the store to access its Shipping Page and get an estimate for your address, then just dont click Buy at the end.
  13. I dont think it would make you an awakener since that's what a Lerasium/Edglium alloy would do. Simply transforming into an equal amount of Breaths would make sense for Endowment as a concept but it seems a little narratively boring compared to the more unique realmic effects the other godmetals have. The most obvious effect for me would be a similar thing to Harmonium that supplements the Person and Intent part of the Power equation, making it a way to create Awakened Objects with Powers. But that's also already covered more or less by Ettmetal, narratively speaking, so I think he'll Edglium more of it's own realmic niche. . Alternative options Burn to Awaken an Item to full sapience without the 9th heightening req'd. Gain Permanent Heightenings Gain a Divine Breath without being a Cognitive Shadow (WOB confirms such a person would not require weekly breaths). Spilt your Cognitive Identity into distinct Selves, "Awakening" them to full Hollywood split personalities. (Edgli is "inconsistent" so it could fit thematically). EDIT: Actual (if philosophically problematic) Resurrection, as in an advanced and fully sapient version of a Lifeless. It's also worth nothing that some godmetals like Raysium and Trellium have innate properties that dont involve Burning the metal, so Edglium could be anther such a one.
  14. Spoilered until the thread gets moved:
  15. "Best" hard to quantify, but I think Lightweaver. Soulcasting seems like one of the single most powerful abilities on the face of it. With Lightweaving being a broader Waveform manipulation power that can reach High energy outputs and direct Investiture manipulation, and might conceivably be able to manipulate quantumwave reality in an endgame scenario, I think it's the single most Underestimated of the Surges.
