happyman he/him Posted October 1, 2014 Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 Make Brandon and Rothfuss write just as awesomely, but also twice as fast. How did I miss this one on my last read-through? From what I can tell, this would mean that we get the next book from Brandon in six months and the next one from Rothfuss in about three years...

the winter system Posted October 11, 2014 Report Share Posted October 11, 2014 "Obey me". He doesn't have enough understanding to properly apply commands that require judgement, so I would keep responsibility for all decision making myself. Yeah, probably the best idea. That makes since. I wouldn't want to have a sword that ends up like Nightblood. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Link Start he/him Posted October 11, 2014 Report Share Posted October 11, 2014 (edited) How about "Steal investiture for your wielder"?So, instead of consuming breath from its wielder (or in addition to), it would do the same to those it cut. And transfer that investiture to the wielder, possibly making a self-sustaining sword. IDK what makes Nightblood burn breath so fast, if it's the nature of the heavily invested Awakened steel, or the power it has of disintegrating things. If it is the second, then the absence of the command "destroy" could mean a sword the does not burn breath, or burns it slowlier. Or we could start a game of Awakening swords with the Radiant oaths. That would be interesting. Edited October 11, 2014 by Link Start 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the winter system Posted November 8, 2014 Report Share Posted November 8, 2014 Kill Hoid Hoid would probably find a way to kill Nightblood, if Nightblood tried to kill Hoid. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDarkDesperado he/him Posted November 9, 2014 Report Share Posted November 9, 2014 I'd use "Confuse my enemies" Versatile, and the use of 'my' would likely make it useless to anyone else. Besides, confusing people isn't something you would expect a sword to do, so it'd be easy to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gjustice99 she/her Posted November 16, 2014 Report Share Posted November 16, 2014 Mine would be protect the innocent because there is less room for error in it than there was in destroy evil. Although, it may encounter the same problems. How would Nightblood determine someone's innocence? How would he go about obeying his order? Would he kill all those that weren't innocent (unlikely but a possibility)? However there is also room for error in any command that Nightblood could be given, I think the safest for the goal that has been set is protect the innocent.

BreathTaker he/him Posted November 16, 2014 Report Share Posted November 16, 2014 No one is completely innocent though. So Nighty wouldn't defend anyone except babies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He doesn't have enough understanding to properly apply commands that require judgement, so I would keep responsibility for all decision making myself. That's a good one. If I were to think of something myself I'd say "Protect those who need protection" (or something else akin to a certain ideal from SA ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blaze1616 he/him Posted December 1, 2014 Report Share Posted December 1, 2014 (edited) Smash. Nightblood, after some training, works his way through the various circuits, winning title after title, crushing all who oppose him. Who knew a sword could be so good at Super Smash Bros.? Edit: He trains by playing against Bruce Banner. The gamma radiation really upped his game... Edited December 1, 2014 by Blaze1616 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
