You know...I was thinking of restricting hemalurgic constructs to wolfhounds with only 4 spikes...but why stifle people's imaginations....If you are very specific about your construct and what his/her name is...and I'll list them as your sidekick... Snoopy...I realize that you are no longer Ipanda...I have changed the membership board accordingly...but between you and me...dancing lemur is way better than snoopy...just sayin' Voidus and Brighness...you have both been listed as full members...thank you for your contributions and help yourselves to some foil hats... Sorry I haven't been on forum in a while...keep up the good work and death to all evil metal born!

Friends close...enemies closer...

Great...I was hoping that I wasn't just making stuff up...well...to be honest I wasn't that concerned...but it's good to know that there is some grounding in what I have done... ...so...Voidus...gimme a hazekilling tip and design your wolfhound and I'll list you as a full fledged member...

At Brightness Randon: I've listed you as a probationary member....but you have to prove your metal by sharing a little info on hazekilling before you get your hat. At Redbird and Xaladin: Good stuff. Upvote to each of you... Idea: Something that I mentioned briefly earlier...I've been thinking...although I have no sound proof that such a thing would be possible...I'm going to exploit the fact that we are operating in a fictional universe and just say that I have figured out to make a hemalurgic construct out of a wolfhound. Here's what I've got so far... ...Using the same basic idea that made the original Koloss...I've taken hema spikes containing the life essence of a truly vile non-metal born (who very much deserved to die) and placed the spikes into a wolfhound in such a way as to slightly alter it's anatomy...making it much larger and stronger...(also with dark blue fur and blood red eyes just because it's cool)...aside from it's increase in strength...the attachment of human life energy seems to have imbued the wolfhound with just a touch of reasoning, which makes him much smarter and easier to train. As an unintended side effect...I've discovered that this addition of human essence has made the wolfhound compatible with hemalurgic spikes that transfer allomantic and feruchimal abilities. Through some trial and error...I have come to the conclusion that a wolfhound altered in such a way can only be given a maximum of 2 feruchimal spikes and 2 allomantic spikes. By putting my (fictional) discoveries to practice I have created a Hazekiller's best friend: He weights around 4oolbs...stands around 4 ft tall on all fours...and is incredibly intelligent and loyal. This one (motions to the monstrosity sitting idly by his side) has been made into a seeker / thug / bloodmaker / steelrunner. I call him "The Lord Drooler" and he is going to help me fight evil. I would like to invite my fellow Hazekillers to produce one for yourselves...let me know their name and power sets and I'll list them with your name...

All right...now people are catching on...Here's some aluminum foil...fold yourself up a hat...I'll add you to the list. Welcome to the Hazekiller Corp. ...also have an upvote... Redbird3000...here's some foil...you know what to do...I'll add your name to the list...have fun slaying evil metal born!

Absolutely...just share an idea about hazekilling and I'll give you your foil hat and add your name to the list...

Hey...welcome to the forum...have a introductory upvote on me... Look forward to hearing some of your theories! ...by the way...I should probably try to recruit you to my clan...Join the Hazekillers and together we can overthrow the evil metalborn!

Welcome to the shard! Have a complimentary upvote on me... By the way...if you are interested in joining a group...consider being a hazekiller...

Use steel pushes and iron pulls to move around the office in your rolling office chair... Use steel pushes and iron pulls to spin your office chair so fast that you throw up...then use this as your excuse to go home early... find an apartment that you would like to move into that is already being rented...then use soothing and rioting...steel pushes and iron pulls...awakening...gravitation surges...really whatever else you can think of...to convince the occupants that the place is haunted...wait for them to move out...

You know what DA members...I've had a change of heart...so long and you do not perform any evil deeds in the name of or presence of other hazekillers...you guys can be in the club. I'll write you in. But Voidus...you have to contribute a tidbit of hazekiller craft before you get your foil hat... Winter Cloud...I'm only against those who use the metallic arts for evil...so mind your Ps and Qs and you should be all right. By the way...did no body get the pun about cookies with hema spikes being "Ruined"...or was it just not that funny...

Storms!...I totally thought that I had an original gimmick with the foil hat thing. All right...who do you get your aluminium from??? ...all of you DA people...how could you? You have RUINED desert for everyone on the forum.

Hazekillers make no formal alliances...but I don't see why we couldn't work together...our goals do somewhat align...by the way...join the hazekiller Corp and you'll get an aluminum foil hat!

With all of your experience with hemalurgy...any idea how I can make my wolfhound into a seeker?

Well...as long as you don't plan on using those spikes for any nefarious purpose...you're in. Here...fold yourself up a foil hat...

Calling all Hazekillers! (see thread in mistborn) We have no country. We hold no allegiances. The thing that unites us...is our desire to destroy those who would use the metallic arts for evil. We will outsmart them. We will be ruthless. We will turn the very powers they rely upon into their bane. Membership requires only two things...that you share your knowledge of hazekilling weapons and techniques on this thread...and that you wear a hat made from this! (holds up a roll of aluminum foil) Join the ranks of the Hazekiller Corp and together we will rid the cosmere of evil, metal fueled, supervillans! (oddly specific I know...)

By the way Voidus...It was rude of me not to acknowledge your good ideas...have an upvote... I think in general...preparation and cunning would be a hazekillers deadliest weapons. You don't have to be stronger faster or smarter than the metalborn you're going up against...you just have to be dirtier...

Look!...now I'm Boba Fett! I feel this is appropriate because Boba Fett doesn't use the force...he just uses force... Boba Fett...the original Hazekiller...

I also think that going all indiana jones and rocking out the bull whip could work pretty well. Lightening fast...extended range...no metal. They are far from lethal...but start with a whiplash to the face...end with a wooden club to the head...

If I were going up against miles...and only miles...prepared...I would go with my acidic antibloodmaker rounds (aim for the stomach)...a katana (separate a limb and he can grow it back...but not the goldminds)...bolas (I like the way you think)...but I'd use ones with barbed cords...attack dog (sorry spike)...and a crossbow with bolts that ARE slender sticks of dynamite (he can handle blowing up on the outside...but how about the inside?)...then...try not to get shot...and try to remove his head.

Maybe I'll do just that...on a side note...any ideas how you could use root beer to fight allomancer?

while I've been on the forum for a while...I'm not entirely sure what that entails...do I just make a post saying "who wants to be a hazekiller?"

have an upvote as an apology for me maybe being a little creepy...I assure you I am a very safe person to be around... On the note of rocksalt shutgun load...go to youtube and look up a shotgun shell called "Dragon's Breath"...Ow, ow, ow, ow...I didn't include it in my list because it's a little high tech for AoL era...

Way back when I first read mistborn, I remember thinking that the idea of hazekillers was pretty cool. I always thought it would be cool for Brandon to make a major character who was a super badass hazekiller. Sort of the Reckoner of Scadrial...but alas...this has yet to happen. In fact, most hazekiller have been butchered almost as easily as normal soldiers. Anyway...while rereading AoL, I got to the part at Ranette's with the Hazekiller rounds and I thought...what would it take for an ordinary person to be an exceptional Hazekiller? I know there has already been at least one other thread about hazekiller rounds. I'd like to make the idea a little broader. If you were going to be a hazekiller (anti allomancy and antiferuchemy) in AoL era Scadrial...how would you gear up? What tactics would you use? How would you prepare yourself? A few of my ideas: Hazekiller rounds: -Anti bloodmaker / Anti Lurcher - Large bore hollow point containing a glass capsule filled with aqua regis (solution of nitric and hydrochloric acid used to dissolve metal for industrial purposes). Aside from punching a healthy dose of super corrosive acid into a bloodmaker's body (really painful and lots of healing required) you might get lucky and hit a goldmind taking a big bite out of their stored health. Against a Lurcher, they would pull it into their chest plate and immediately get a face full of toxic fumes as it dissolves the chestplate. - Anti Pewterarm / Anti Bloodmaker - Hollowpoint filled with rattlesnake venom...(really any powerful neurotoxin would work but rattlesnake venom would be more wild westy) - Anti Pewterarm - You can soak ordinary lead bullets in rat poison to make bleeder rounds. Most rat poisons are basically just concentrated anticoagulants that make the rate bleed out from the inside. You soak a porous metal like lead in it...the anti coagulant soaks in, causing the wound the bullet inflicts to bleed a LOT more (especially if the bullet is still inside). This would be a great way to take some of the punch out of a thug (pun intended). - Anti Lurcher - Hollowpoint filled with finely powered lye. They pull it into their chest and all of a sudden they're blind and their face is melting. It can also be very dangerous if inhaled. -Anti Coinshot - Take a hollowpoint that is entirely ceramic...put afore mentioned glass acid capsule in it so the tip of the bullet is exposed glass...with a tiny steel pin protruding from the end. Fire at coinshot, coinshot pushes on steel pin, steel pin pushes backward through glass capsule, acid sprays forward. Would only work if you were close...but better than nothing. On fighting people with super speed (steel runners and sliders): I'm saying that your best bet here is area effect weapons. As a generic...shotguns firing buckshot would be more useful that other types of ammunition due to the spray of lead instead of a single well directed shot. You'd be more likely to clip a steel runner on the move...and with enough dispersion, a slider might not be able to step out of the way of 9 shots at once as easily as they can 1 or 2. But...there is a very good chance that you would still fail. When I say area effect weapons...I'm talking about teargas, flashbangs, and firebombs. As long as you had a mask of some king that made you immune to the effects, having a bunch of poison gas grenades would work really well against most allomancers. A steel runner or slider is also going to have a much harder time fighting if they are deaf and blind. For firebombs, even if you can't hit the person...both types of people will have a harder time moving around if there are a bunch of pools of flaming, sticky liquid all over the place...but this wouldn't be applicable in all situations. I also though that spreading a bunch of sharp steel caltrops all over the place could make it equally difficult for a steel runner to move around. Side notes: While having an aluminum gun would be great...having a crossbow with no metal parts would come in a lot of handy and be much cheaper. While the pooch might not always make it through the fight...having a well trained attack dog or two would really even the odds in your favor...if nothing else it would distract them long enough for you to make your move. Plus...the dog's superior hearing and sense of smell would act like a pseudo-tineye...giving you another advantage. I've got many more ideas...but I wanna hear what you guys think. Let's pool our knowledge and ideas to make the Hazekiller Corp!

"That's your own damned opinion," Cett said, smiling. "And, you really shouldn't be complaining, Emperor. If you think the things I say are vulgar, you've been living in Luthadel far too long. Where I come from, people are embarrassed to use pretty words like 'damnation.' "

I like this very much...have an upvote
