Oudeis he/him Posted January 18, 2013 Posted January 18, 2013 Anyone have any thoughts on hard data as it pertains to "how strong does pewter make you?"? If I can bench-press 150lb, how much can I bench press when burning pewter? How much when flaring pewter? How much when burning pewter enhanced by duralumin/nicrosil? (I think I just tapped into word-problems that teachers give their students on Scadrial's modern-day equivalent...)
Observer Posted January 19, 2013 Posted January 19, 2013 (edited) We can't really be exact on this unfortunately, and the ever-shifting power levels of allomancy make that even harder. Vin, Ham, Kelsier and Tarson would all get different increases of strength thanks to their investure differences. I don't think there's a definitive way to tell without a Q&A.

Voidus Posted January 23, 2013 Posted January 23, 2013 The only way I can think of to figure it out is from Vin's massive pewter jump where she reaches 7 ft. or something like that, you might be able to figure out how much force that would have taken if you knew her weight but yeah, lots of things to take into account and that'd just be an estimate.
name_here Posted January 23, 2013 Posted January 23, 2013 One thing we can conclude is that it is either additive or concave down relative to natural strength. Otherwise Ham would also be able to jump 7 feet in the air.
