CryoZenith Posted January 14, 2022 Report Share Posted January 14, 2022 Breath air seems like a pretty easy winner here, so I'd do that idk :)). WYR be a regular person of average strength, or be a pewter ferring but have your baseline strength be below average? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sequence Posted January 14, 2022 Report Share Posted January 14, 2022 (edited) PEWTER FERRING 100%. And do you mean Misting, @CryoZenith? Would you rather live on Ashyn, or live on Braize? Spoiler Also, welcome to the Shard. I see you're new here, so I hope you enjoy this place very much.

CryoZenith Posted January 14, 2022 Report Share Posted January 14, 2022 @Sequence No, I mean ferring. The question basically is, would you be willing to sacrifice baseline physical strength in order to gain the ability to store and tap physical strength, so that you're objectively weaker on average but get some short term bursts above your previous level. I think the alternative WYR (be normal vs be a baseline weak pewter *misting*) is more slanted. At least for me, being a pewter misting sounds way better than being a pewter ferring, and I'd be willing to sacrifice quiite a bit to get there. I think it would depend on my quality as a traveler to Braize. If I'm like, there with diplomatic immunity, and none of the voidspren and fused could torture me, then sure, sounds fun. WYR be able to use emotional allomancy or be completely immune from mind controlling invested arts? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emotional Allomancy, for sure. Would you rather be a Mistborn, or a full Shardbearer? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you rather eat some grass or use a paper straw? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sequence Posted January 14, 2022 Report Share Posted January 14, 2022 Paper straw...? Eating grass is not fun, especially when touching it makes you break out in hives. Would you rather bond a Voidspren or a stuck-up Honorspren? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CryoZenith Posted January 14, 2022 Report Share Posted January 14, 2022 I'd take the stuck-up Honorspren. I am personally closest to the order of elsecallers anyway, and inkspren are pretty stuck-up, so I don't really mind that flaw. Would you rather be a third ideal knight radiant of your favorite order without having to swear any oaths, but stuck on third ideal, or a first ideal knight radiant of your favorite order but with normal growth potential? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elf Posted January 14, 2022 Report Share Posted January 14, 2022 (edited) First ideal knight. For sure. Would you rather be Honor but corrupted or Odium in his normal evil state? Edited January 14, 2022 by Elf 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CryoZenith Posted January 14, 2022 Report Share Posted January 14, 2022 I'd rather be Odium because he has much better future sight and imho that's one of the coolest parts of taking up a Shard in the first place. The *problematic* intent would be worth it. WYR get enough Breath to reach the fourth heightening, or get a quarter million dollars? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sequence Posted January 15, 2022 Report Share Posted January 15, 2022 (edited) Breath for sure. By Earth terms, $25,000 would be easy to get. BioChromatic Breath on the other hand... Would you rather be a full Feruchemist, or a Mistborn? Edited January 15, 2022 by Sequence 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quivil Posted January 15, 2022 Report Share Posted January 15, 2022 (edited) Mistborn. Steel always wins. Would you rather die in a fire or by drowning? Edited January 15, 2022 by Tani 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CryoZenith Posted January 15, 2022 Report Share Posted January 15, 2022 Drowning. I almost drowned once but I lost consciousness pretty quickly, so I'm gonna take a guess that burning to death would feel worse. WYR: 1. only be allowed to read a single fiction book for the rest of your life, but you choose it. 2. only be allowed to read 20 fiction books for the rest of your life, but the person choosing them personally dislikes you. A lot. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sequence Posted January 16, 2022 Report Share Posted January 16, 2022 That's a really tough one. Imma go with 20 chosen by someone who hates me. Would you rather be blue, or be green? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quivil Posted January 16, 2022 Report Share Posted January 16, 2022 Blue. If I were green, I would die. (abudee abudi) WYR have to kill someone, or die? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Experience Posted January 16, 2022 Report Share Posted January 16, 2022 Die, easy. WYR eat cake or ice cream. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Szeth's Facepalm Posted January 16, 2022 Report Share Posted January 16, 2022 Uhhh probably cake WYR try Rosharin wines or chouta 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CryoZenith Posted January 16, 2022 Report Share Posted January 16, 2022 Chouta. I'm vegan (in the ethical sense) so I'm really interested in chouta as the representation of "the most tasty version of how you can cook lab-grown meat" in the Cosmere. WYR be incapable of telling lies, but be infinitely trustworthy (in the sense that everyone automatically believes you are honest, not in the sense that everyone automatically believes you are correct), or be incapable of telling the truth, but be infinitely compelling (in the sense that everyone automatically believes you are correct)? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NameIess Posted January 16, 2022 Report Share Posted January 16, 2022 I would rather be incapable of lying. It might be a little inconvenient at times, but I would be able to live as I wanted to, for the most part. Being unable to tell the truth would just be awful, especially if everyone always believes anything I say. That would be the worst. WYR have Hoid's restrictions or have an inquisitor's murderous tendencies? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sequence Posted January 16, 2022 Report Share Posted January 16, 2022 (edited) That's kind of a tough one. I don't want Hoid's restrictions, since he can't eat meat, but an Inquisitor's bloodthirsty nature would be inconvenient as well. I wonder if I could counteract them by playing violent video games...? I think overall, I'd choose the Inquisitor's bloodlust. Spoiler Sorry that was so long. Would you rather have Yolish or Rosharan Lightweaving? Remember to consider everything that comes from either side.

SzethTheHonorblade Posted February 10, 2022 Report Share Posted February 10, 2022 Yolish light weaving, it feels more organic. would you rather be an average soldier on Roshar or fight evil librarians? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sequence Posted February 10, 2022 Report Share Posted February 10, 2022 I haven't read Alcatraz, but I like the sound of living on Roshar at all. Let's go soldier. Maybe I can pick up some spear skills from Kaladin . Would you rather be a member of the Ghostbloods, or the Ire? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NameIess Posted February 11, 2022 Report Share Posted February 11, 2022 (edited) Definitely the Ghostbloods. The Ire seems like they're a bunch of elantrians with servants. Ghostbloods might be a little evil, but at least I can work my way up. WYR be soulcasted into fire or stone?

Thaidakar the Ghostblood Posted February 11, 2022 Report Share Posted February 11, 2022 Fire. WYR be an evil librarian or an epic? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NameIess Posted February 12, 2022 Report Share Posted February 12, 2022 Definitely an epic. Sure, I might end up as that one epic who has the power to make grass grow 0.1 times slower, but I also might end up with a cool power. Anything's better than going insane learning book cataloging skills. WYR be a Lybrarian or a Listener? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
