Splintered

I stopped reading and took notes on their conversation (Lift and beggar) because I was positive it was him. Turns out, not so much

This is awesome stuff guys!

This is my first post on the forums! While I agree with most of what I've seen on here, I have some problems that I'd like to point out. 1) Why Kelsier? Why not Vin or Elend? Vin was arguably more powerful than Kelsier and she was definitely more talented with her abilities than he was. Kelsier struggled when fighting half a dozen haze killers while Vin killed dozens if not hundreds of them when she attacked Cett's Keep in Luthadel. Elend was definitely more powerful than Kelsier and would probably fare better in this type of scenario. Either way I don't feel that it matters and I'll explain why in my summary. 2) Why Dalinar? Adolin was the most talented warrior with shard plate and blade. If we're going to give Mistborn, Shard Bearers and AOL characters a chance to win, why not choose the most talented and powerful members from these stories? I don't really have a problem with Wax being there; you could argue he wasn't the most powerful/likely character to win from the book but that arguement is subjective and not worth going too in depth over. 3) Szeth fought Gavilar in an environment that heavily favored him and yet he nearly lost. Dalinar would defintely win in a one on one scenario with Szeth. 4) Kelsier and duralumin are mentioned a lot in this thread, but he never used it and would be more likely to make a mistake using it than use it effectively in a fight. He could use all of his steel or pewter on accident and at that point he is effectively dead. 5) This has been touched on but I want to emphasize it. Atium is an extermely fast burning metal. Kel or whichever mitborn using it will run out after a couple of minutes. I justify this from WOA. The very large bead of it that Zane gave to Vin was "supposed to burn for about 3 minutes". 6) Wax only has surprise on his side to survive here. Once he shoots his gun the others should realize his strength and be able to counter it. All in all I feel that with the characters used, Dalinar would most likely win. Anything could happen so it's not definite. I think coins and bullets will affect his plate, but it will take a lot to break his plate. Long before that happens Dalinar will learn their strengths and destroy them. Put Vin or Elend in there and that would defintely change things up.
