Clattanoia

Sorry if this is a very dumb question but I've only read up to alloy of law so if it's put in a further book I don't know. Anyway I've been seeing people referring to koloss blooded people and there's

My first pick for real world or cosmere would be a Chromium Compounder because I would be so lucky that I could walk at someone shooting a gun at me and be perfectly fine.

my number two would be Allomantic Zinc and feruchemical Duralumin because instant friendship and you can make people feel however you want.

Perhaps yes. This might be why Sanderson placed that at the beginning of his novel. But I think you meant Alendi saying that, not Vin.

Well actually no I meant Vin reading from the log book but yeah Alendi reading would still be really good

Can I just make a small suggestion for the final empire trailer. Can we start the trailer with vin saying "Sometimes, I worry that I'm not the hero everyone thinks I am. The  philosophers assure me that this is the time, that the signs have been met. But I still wonder if they have the wrong man. So many people depend on me. They say I will hold the future of the entire world on my arms. What would they think if they knew that their champion - the Hero of Ages, their savior - doubted himself? Perhaps they wouldn't be shocked at all. In a way, this is what worries me most. Maybe, in their hearts, they wonder - Just as I do. When they see me, do they see a liar?" Or something to that extent or maybe shortend to something. I think that would be amazing foreshadowing.

You're thinking of Texas Hold'em, it's a popular version of poker in upscale casinos.  By the way, welcome to the forums!  I'd definitely like to see a chromium twinborn Mat Cauthon-ing their way across the Cosmere (Wheel of Time reference, sorry).

If I was perpetually lucky I don't think I'd commit myself to a single job, I'd just wander around enjoying how everything miraculously worked out for me.  You're never going to find a winning lottery ticket while wandering down a dark alley alone after bumping into Ironeyes and Vasher who, for seemingly no reason, decided to share their knowledge of Hemalurgy and Awakening with you after gifting you with a set of spikes and a few hundred Breaths if you're stuck inside all day working.  

Thanks for the card game insight . Also yeah you're kinda right with the whole not sticking with one job. Also I thought of this just recently for chromium compounders be a police officer who specializes in taking down allomancers (being a leecher and all) and just so insanely lucky that you never get hit by bullets

I'm not sure it works like that - I mean, aren't the players playing against each other? Could somebody explain?

I don't know. I don't gamble or play anything like that I just know stuff from the internet and I think it's like that. but I do know that in one casino card game (I think it's poker but I'm not sure that's right) that the dealer puts out a set of cards that the players use for things like straights, and pairs, and things.

Not sure if anyone else put this but what about a chromium Twinborn as a blackjack or poker dealer or something make the casino loads of money and get famous as the one dealer who can't be beaten and just hide the metal minds

Hi my names Clattanoia (that's a bit obvious) I'm very new to mr. Sandersons' work having started reading the final empire over a year ago (from the time of posting this) and now I have read up to alloy of law so I figured it was probably time to find some other fans of his work
