kenod Posted September 1, 2017 Posted September 1, 2017 Depending on the exact mechanics for Investure based healing I would go for Gold/Gold. My reasoning behind this is that your mental self image is important for healing, so if you change your self image through mental gymnastics you could do limited shapeshifting (as you might guess, I would prefer being a Kandra). I think that the shift itself would probably be a bit slow, and limited in how much you could change, but it would probably still allow you to shift to different human forms. Of course, actually triggering the shift would require some more hoops. I personally think that if you can do the mental gymnastics to think of your current appearance as an injury you would change, but otherwise it would probably require cutting away the parts that need to change. If all that isn't possible I would go for a steel and f zinc, because I like flying around town, and the thinking faster just seems useful in general.

Seeker Of Truth Posted September 14, 2017 Posted September 14, 2017 I think it would be interesting to have allomantic electrum and feruchemical chromium. Something just intrigues me about how the powers could interact with each other. I know they don't compound but I feel like the chromium would let you pick the right path that you see with electrum. To me it seems better than just getting lucky and not knowing how. 2

ShardplateJoe III Posted September 17, 2017 Posted September 17, 2017 (edited) I don't know if this has been mentioned before, but Double nicrosil We know that tin stores senses, and each sense requires its own metalmind. Likewise, food and water nutrition must be stored in seperate metalminds. This leads me to believe that I could siphon off trace amounts of my Preservation and Ruin investitures in different metalminds, compound those, and tap them at exceptional rates to become fullborn.

Aon Ati he/him Posted September 18, 2017 Posted September 18, 2017 The combination I would want the most would be steel/steel. Not only would I be able to fly (jump) but I could compound speed, so I could pretty much dodge bullets. But technically that is not a twinborn, it is a compounder. So my other choice would be a steel misting and a tin ferring, giving me the ability to watch for evil deeds and then fly to the rescue. 2
Master Knapper Posted October 5, 2017 Posted October 5, 2017 Well, I really don't expect to be in any battles, so I am going to pick the combination that would make my life better. Allomantic Bendalloy, Feruchemical Bronze. This would allow me to step away from my desk at work, burn a little Bendalloy while I fill my metal mind. I would end up with a nice pleasant nap, and no one would realize I was gone. Later in the day, when I start to feel tired again, I'd just drain some of the wakefulness from the metal mind, and I'd be good to go (or I could go take another Bendalloy nap, good either way). 2

Being a twinborn and being able to compound aren't exclusive. Anyway, that's tough. For everyday life, I doubt I would need anything combat oriented like iron or steel (A). Still, steel would still be pretty cool. It would be awesome to be a Soother or Rioter, and to be able to be a bronze Ferring. No more alarms for me! Eh, I'm leaning towards just being a Chromium compounder. That would be pretty sweet. Edited November 5, 2017 by podman36
WalksIntoMordor Posted October 12, 2017 Posted October 12, 2017 Hmmm... I've given this a lot of thought lately. According to the misting quiz, my misting is Rioting... so being a Zinc/Zinc Compounder would suit me (I could definitely get behind storing and tapping mental speed). On the other hand... Electrum/Electrum would be interesting. Being able to see a bit of my own future, and compound confidence, would definitely be a help (I am an utter klutz. I am more dangerous to myself than others are to me, and that bit of extra foresight would actually go a long way for me. Plus, as mentioned, confidence is something I'd be happy to have more of, even if it meant storing some for a while to build up - with compounding, it'd come back in full). On the other hand... having any of the physical metals, the emotional pair, or the temporal metals combined with Bendalloy Ferring would be fun. Burn all the calories!

Knghtstlker he/him Posted October 27, 2017 Posted October 27, 2017 Do you think you could drown a Gold Compounder? I genuinely thought Wax was going to use the Net on Miles and toss him in the water to hold him Captive until re-enforcements arrive. Breath, is not the same as health, Feruchemically. He would unconditionally heal of course, but while his lungs damage from the water would be repaired, the symptom would not be fixed. Something like this wouldn't work against TLR, but Miles could have been contained in Water I think. If I was in fact Twin Born, I think a Pewter compounder would be a little redundant, Pewter Arms tend to be pretty strong, but Sazed Swoll put them to shame, I think I'd prefer to have Feruchemical Pewter and burn Bendalloy. Making my Strength matter in tight quarters, you can dial in exactly how much strength you need to defeat any opponent, making it much more efficient, instead of Super Swol, just adjust how much you tap based on individual opponent. Although it's hard to Deny Wax's own capabilities. TLR would be fun as well, Making use of all Metals on both sides of the spectrum. If TLR had not pierced himself with Metal to keep it from other Allomancers, do you think TLR would still stand? Just curious.

Gold Ferring could go without oxigen perfectly fine as long as they are Feruchemical charge, so drown one of them isn't an option. Sure drown a Ferring could be a way to force him to consume Charge over time, but it will not work better than every other kind of damage and with someone with an huge amount of Charge (a Compounder for example) will not be really worthy of the effort in most cases

Maybe not a Viable means of execution but at the very least a stasis cell. It would work best on a compounder, because other than an amazing healing capability, they really don't have much else. No way to push or pull, no reserve of strength. I don't know the names of all the twinborn combinations, but if I had to name one a "Juggernaut" it would be a Thug-Blood Maker. The strength to ignore pain the Gold to heal wounds. He would be an extremely capable warrior on the field as well as burning pewter to offset physical ailments of storing health itself. The enormous amount of Health he can store on his down days would offset the amount of damage he could ignore in battle by quite a bit. Edited October 27, 2017 by Knghtstlker 1

Walin he/him Posted October 31, 2017 Posted October 31, 2017 Iron-Iron could level cities. As a non-compounding decision, either A-Pewter, F-Gold (super warrior as Nightstlker said); A-Pewter, F-Bendalloy (super survivalist because warmth/strength and stored food and water); A-Bronze/Zinc, F-Duralumin (super manipulator because emotional Allomancy and Connection); A-Tin, F-Cadmium (super detective because surveillance ability plus holding your breath indefinitely), and maybe a few others.

Ataraxian Wist she/her Posted November 5, 2017 Posted November 5, 2017 Iron/Iron: "Actually, the world does revolve around me. Literally." Actually, this combo would be really useful. Ironswinging just got way cooler, as you can now adjust your arc at will. And Gemmel's rule wouldn't apply, as you would be some northern mystic. Aside from that, how far your Ironlines go is proportionate to your weight, meaning you could steal a sniper's gun you can't even see. Or more mundane things, like being a Lurcher, which is just cool anyway.
