Tulir he/him Posted December 7, 2011 Report Share Posted December 7, 2011 If we take the theory that the Shards created each race of humans on each planet from their memories as true, then might it be that some Shards messed up and created a race that can't eat food on another world because it is incompatible? So it could be possible for worldhoppers to need their own planets food to survive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firah Posted December 7, 2011 Report Share Posted December 7, 2011 One thing that also might happen regards food is that the nature of the planet itself, for example before sazed fixed the planet the constitutions of people on Scadrial must have been very diferent from people on other worlds. I wonder if Hoid had any trouble while he was there . You could extend this to include quite a few things, atmospheric dirences, diferent suns causing more radiation etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tulir he/him Posted December 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2011 Good point, I wonder if he did or if he can sustainf himself on magic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ulyssessword he/him Posted December 7, 2011 Report Share Posted December 7, 2011 (edited) Doesn't Hoid have a different appearance (and maybe a completely different body) every time we have seen him so far? This would neatly avoid him getting interplanetary traveller's sickness, although I'm not sure how it would work for anyone else.

Tulir he/him Posted December 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2011 Magic!!! I've always wondered how he gets around and if he is a Shard or which Shard he draws upon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazyRioter she/her Posted December 7, 2011 Report Share Posted December 7, 2011 Hoid is not a Shardholder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tulir he/him Posted December 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2011 Do we really actually know that? Or is it just thought to be the truth? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discipleofhoid he/him Posted December 8, 2011 Report Share Posted December 8, 2011 Do we really actually know that? Or is it just thought to be the truth? Brandon has confirmed that Hoid is not a Shard. We do know that he has access to some form of magic though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zas678 he/him Posted December 8, 2011 Report Share Posted December 8, 2011 I wonder if Hoid had any trouble while he was there [in Scadrial]. You could extend this to include quite a few things, atmospheric dirences, diferent suns causing more radiation etc. You know, this could be the reason why, in WoA, Hoid is trembling a massive amount when he meets with Elend. His body, after at least two years, is struggling to stay up with the constant demand of filtering through the ash, and thus beginning to shut down. He then applies whatever he does to stay immortal, and then he's (assumably) fine. Though we never do see him in HoA do we? Vin plans to meet with him, but gets spooked.
