Ricocheting Windrunner Posted January 30, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2020 Quote All right @Coda You stumble into the shop right as a back door opens and four men begin to walk up. One of the men you recognize as his face lights up. "I was beginning to think you'de gotten lost for good this time. we just finished up!" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Coda Posted January 30, 2020 Report Share Posted January 30, 2020 Coda smiled and pretended that those words didn't bother him. "You haven't finished because I wasn't there." He pulled up a chair and sat down. "Now, what were the terms? I believe someone mentioned 400 gold." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Please I really don't want to hurt you. Come on (insert your character's name) we trained and swore our first Ideal together. Can't you see that this law is corrupt. Nale would want us to make a new just law and see that upheld." he dismisses his shardblade and spreads his arms open. "Go ahead and kill me. Prove your law is wrong. Because we are supposed to be just Radiants and this isn't just. This is wrong." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Ark1002 Posted January 30, 2020 Report Share Posted January 30, 2020 Quote Also, just a suggestion. This really isn't dnd. It takes element from such, but it is not, not even close, to the game everyone knows and loves, the worlds greatest roleplaying game, dungeons and dragons. Anyway, what I'm getting at is: Maybe change the title. It's a misnomer, and not accurate. Say dnd based game, sanderson roleplay, or choose something new entirely. But this isn't dnd, so it shouldn't be labeled as such. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corvus (who's the leader of the rebellion and the man who invited you to this meeting) laughs and turns to the other three people. "I'm sorry but we'll have to wait while I explain the terms to our friend here. He will also be working with you." Corvus pulls out a chair and sits facing you. "So yes the amount is actually 300 gold. One of our friends is a hard bargainer. But basically you enlist with the rebellion and operate on potentially dangerous jobs for us and we pay you and give you a base of operations." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Coda Posted January 30, 2020 Report Share Posted January 30, 2020 Coda thought. The job itself sounded slightly sketchy, especially the danger part, but the base of operations...

He stores Connection as he does so, storing the weak bonds between him and the world around. It adds a bit of challenge to his walk- people don't notice him very well while he's storing, meaning his steps tend to get partially blocked by oblivious passerby. But Pikes has never been one to quit because of challenge, and the extra Connection could prove useful. Besides, he has his colleague with him, clearing a path through the crowds ahead of him. And very effective he is; while hemalurgists must conceal themselves in the overcity, where guards patrol every alley and sidestreet, here they can declare themselves openly. The people of the undercity may have little love for the rebellion, but they do have respect. And, possibly, hope- hope that the oppressive hand they labor under will, someday, be lifted. Avanti keeps his steps quick and light. He clears a path into the crowd, and while he can’t spot any guards yet, life has taught him to never let down his guard. He’s covered in yet another lightweaving, the stormlight flowing from him into a disguise, his eyes now a light brown, his hair lightweaven to be dark and inconspicuous; Avanti can’t remember the last time he’s let anyone see his true appearance. He walks ahead, through the crowd, only for a moment barely remembering he even has a colleague. He looks back to try and find his partner but it’s hard through the mass of people, and every time Avanti thinks he’s found him it’s someone else. It doesn’t matter where the other guy is, Avanti thinks. I’m sure he’s not too far behind. What was his name again?

Karger Posted January 30, 2020 Report Share Posted January 30, 2020 (edited) Quote Speed=distance/t if you go at 50% speed for 2hours you can go at 200% speed for one hour. Compounding allows you to go as fast as you want for as long as you want unless someone takes off your metalminds. Keep in mind that a human body can't stand the whiplash of more then about 100mph. G-force is not a concern. These are the standard rules. Edited January 30, 2020 by Karger 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quote Yes, so what you just described would mean that you store (speed multiplier)×time in steel, which is what I think it is as well. But, that is not how compounding works. Most importantly, you can run out of metal, but there are other issues as well. When you burn your metalmind, you get back 10× as much attribute as you put in, but you can only control the rate this is used as much as burning regular metal can be controlled. If you want to regulate how much of the attribute you're getting, you need to store it in a melamine again, as feruchemists have fine control in their usage speed, unlike allomancers. A downside to this method is that you can only store an attribute so quickly (75% if I remember correctly). Also, if someone takes off your metalminds while you are compounding, you won't be out because attributes being compounded are in metal that has generally been ingested. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quote WOB: (Although it probably depends on the attribute, this WOB uses steel as an example, which is the compounder we’re discussing. I also bolded the important part and spoiler tagged it to conserve space): Spoiler Thoughtful Spurts If there's really no upper limit to Feruchemy for practical reasons* , why didn't Sazed just fill steel at ridiculous levels for a few minutes in [Well of Ascension], and then go back to running instead of leaving his steelminds there? Say, being some 100,000 times slower than he would normally be for about a minute. Meaning that a Feruchemist should be able to fill a given metalmind in very short periods of time if you fill at a high enough rate. *(yes, you have the limit of how much you can store in a given metalmind and for how many metalminds you can carry on your person, but those are probably too high to really be taken into account in more "normal" circumstances) Brandon Sanderson The low end is bounded. You can pull out tons--but in filling, you can only go so far. I didn't ever explicitly talk about this in the series, but the implications are there. Not all have the same bounds, but in your example, the body just can't slow beyond a certain point. Think of it this way--you can only fill a weight metalmind with as much weight as you have to give. So you can become very, very light--but you only add to a time for doubling your weight. You can't make yourself 100,000 times slower and gain 100,000 times multiplication. You can give up all of your normal speed, and so when you tap that speed out you are at 200% for an equal period. (And that's a theoretical maximum; realistically, you can only go to down around 75% slower or the like.) 17th Shard Forum Q&A (Sept. 26, 2012) Edited January 30, 2020 by Ookla the Maybe-Existent 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
