Kelsier has a good chance in even a fair fight. He's a full Mistborn and I imagine Kaladin's emotional state would be exploitable via Soothing/Rioting
-
I don't think they are invulnerable - we know that heralds can die (temporarily) - Adolin is going to see some stuff that can easily kill Radiants, otherwise the action bits of the story would be a foregone conclusion
-
So why exactly is Nightblood so stupendously overpowered?
IndigoAjah replied to kroen's topic in Warbreaker
Nightblood, Honorblades and real Shardblades all have different strengths - Nightblood is more overtly powerful but it doesn't allow surges to be used, and as far as we know can't change form like Syl. They are just different -
If Shardblade (the real one made of Syl) is not metallic, then Kaladin in close quarters. If it is, then a close battle in close quarters. If there is much distance between then, Wax and Wayne
-
Only if they are EXACTLY 1 in a million, as Sir Terry Pratchett would have you know
-
Isosceles. Because of the cool name
-
If I only get one magic, does that mean I can be a full ferruchemist, full mistborn or twinborn?
-
Roshar Scadrial. Jasnah or Shallan's powers - can transform stuff into metals to burn (plus lightweaving and elsecalling are both useful skills as well). Would be useful for any metal-user. Imagine being a full compounder who can create metal, world-hop and travel through Shadesmar? And then store investiture in a metalmind during a highstorm and thus essentially have an infinite amount of power at any time?
-
Seems pretty clumsy of the Lord Ruler given how scared he is of another compounder being born
-
Mistborn are gonna be back in the series and with even fewer of them and even more metals, they will be even more of a gamebreaker. And thus less likely to be the main character

Also, Roshar is pretty cloudy a lot of the time?
-
I'll admit as of yet I have no explanation for how he would get enough stormlight to fly that way. That's yhe biggest issue as I see it I suspect Nin is both better at flying and more careful than Kaladin: and conversely, with Szeth a known flyer, why can't Nin as well as Kaladin be mistaken for him?
-
(Btw, I don't mean to sound wound up or patronising, and sorry if I do. I'm just passionate mid-debate)
-
And people see a dark object in the sky? Probably a bird. It ALWAYS matters that you know what you are looking for, human beings see and have always seen and will always see what they are expecting
-
It doesn't matter what he flies over! He's a man sized object, going over populations far less dense than Earth's. If he flies high enough, he would literally be out of the vision of any human, and with stormlight he doesn't need to worry about breathing or cold! Then as for Kaladin and Szeth, all he has to do is fly high enough and he can just watch over them. Avoiding sight with the ability to fly would be ridiculously easy, effortlessly so, especially when the thing that powers your flight protects you against the disadvantages of flying higher. And you're possibly quasi-immortal anyway...
-
Next up he sends Szeth to wipe out the Stone Shamans with Nightblood and take back the remaining honourblades
-
We know the Shin are missing an honour blade This would belong to the herald that had it, meaning in Nin's view, from our interaction with him, he would be the legal owner of his blade and entitled to bring it back We suspect from the opinion of another surgebinder (who thus far have a good success rate at recognising each other) he can surge-bind, and know that this gift can come from honour blades and is suggested, albeit not strongly, that this is how heralds get their surgebinding. There is current debate elsewhere that heralds may be unable to bind spren at all. Certainly we see no hints that any of them are Radiants We know he has a shardblade of some type We know that he has acquired other shardblades He could have a second Fabrial but I do not see that having 1 logically leads to having more We have seen a transportation Fabrial- it was huge. It could be that he is using that one, though likely he would be seen if that's how he travelled whilst others were going the other way. A smaller Fabrial capable of this may exist but there is no evidence to suggest it might, whereas we KNOW that 2 honourblades can allow control over gravity and 2 transportation of some sort. A transportation Fabrial would not logically facilitate Nin to find Szeth post flight and save him in time after he was killed- this would be a very fortuitous coincidence if he were not following the two flying surgebinders. Though he does seem to have a way to find surgebinders The sky is vast- the chances of someone not knowing what they were looking for seeing someone who knew what they were doing and didn't want to be seen would be, automatically, slim. Especially as Nin wears all black, so any travel at night- sorted It just seems so so so much more likely
-
Especially as he seems to have trailed, with flawless timing. Szeth and Kaladin who were both flying through a highstorm...
-
But Occam's Razor would imply, clearly to me at least, that all in all it's far more likely that he's the one that has reclaimed his sword, just fitting with several mysterious aspects of the story, his own apparent character and actions and Lift's belief that he was "awesome" too.
-
Also Nin gets from place to place very quickly in the text. IMO the only way he'd manage that, assuming BS is better with journey time calculations and consistency than GRRM, would be with surgebinding, most likely, IMO, his own blade's with flight
-
I would say it's heavily implied by the text
-
Sigzil clearly knows him too

[Speculations] Oathpact & Recreance
IndigoAjah replied to Rhaegar'Elin's topic in Stormlight Archive
Sounds like the reason that they all decided to break their oaths -
SPOILERS! ---Does Kaladin like Shallan, and Vice Versa?---
IndigoAjah replied to ChullRider's topic in Stormlight Archive
Textually they are demonstrably sexually/physically attracted to each other and both outright state this. This is different from falling in love. I have been physically attracted to people that I have no romantic or sexual inclination towards and it certainly does not stop people from becoming friends, after which it is likely that any attraction becomes background or even fades with fraternal feelings replacing them
