Frustration

When you find out which one, let me know. I intend for it to be pretty generous. Obviously one rule cannot apply to every sort of equipment imaginable which is why the judges are necessary. However, the gist is that if it's reasonable that someone could obtain one and it doesn't mess with powerscaling too much it's fine. Such that: Allomantic grenades, Guns, Dynamite, and mildly full metalminds would be fine. While: Honorblades, Dawnshards, nukes, Chasmfiends, or Nightblood would not. Objects like: Medallions, Hemalurgic spikes, Soulcasters, full metalmind bracers(depending on the metal) we could probably allow in some kind of restricted format. Well the Everstorm gives Warlight now, which they could use. For the moment I'd say use Warlight and assume it works the same as Stormlight for all purposes because that's what we have data points for. I was honestly half-scared that no one would look at this at all so having this much support already is blowing my mind. Thanks guys you are amazing! As for a ruleset: I'm working on a weight class right now so that we don't have Oath five Windrunners beating tineyes to death, but after that I thought we'd allow the matchups to run their course and add adjustments as needed. Though if anyone thinks it would be better another way I am open to suggestions.

This is probably the most unique idea I've ever had on the shard. It is also possibly insane. I'm not making this to try and code Cosmere characters into Smash bros. That was just the best title I could come up with. My actual goal is to place various cosmere powersets in fights with sharders acting as each one, in an almost RP sort of way. Now, why is this in the Cosmere discussion and not the RP thread? The main reason is that I will be placing all of the results into a massive dataset which I will post here at the end of the event for our analysis. How this will work: Anyone interested can volunteer and will fill one of two rolls: players, or judges. Individuals might be asked to serve in both rolls should they wish to or simply depending on how many volunteers we have. Two players and three judges will be assigned to any particular matchup, each player will be assigned one character, and each player will be assigned one judge to argue for them, and one to mediate. Play will work as so: The player will be contacted via PM by their respective judge and given a character. At this point they are to give a physical description of their character and any resources and materials they have(Subject to review by the judges). This description will be all that their opponent will know about their character before combat begins. Combat will take place in turns that will go as follows: Each player in a private PM with their judge writes out what action their character will take, as well as what action they intend to take next turn. They will also include any supporting information WoBs or other stuff at this point. Both judges will copy the posts into a different PM that will include only the judges. At this point the three judges will debate and decide upon the most likely outcome from the actions taken. At this point the third judge will write up a narration of what occurs which the other two will send said narration back to the PMs with the players Back to step 1 and repeat until one player has victory The lead judge compiles all narrations, edited as necessary and posts it on this thread. When a players intended next action is the action they take on their next turn they are assumed to have priority over the other player. Likewise players are required with each post to include information about all powers they are currently using: such as metals being burned or tapped, current lashings strengths and directions, illusions currently in play, etc. This is for affects like bronze, or other similar abilities. Players using future sight like Atium will be allowed to see what their opponent intends to do. Obviously I cannot do this on my own, so I'd like to ask for your help, which is the main purpose of the thread. We need a minimum of seven individuals but the more the merrier obviously. So, would you be interested?

Well, *Cracks knuckles* if you insist. Their strength and speed do not come from their honorblades, which we can see from Taln who can move at supersonic speeds, and rip gemhearts out of Focused Ones with his bare hands without his blade. I see no reason to assume that the elsegate Ishar made was particularly interesting. The same would apply to the Set, yet Harmony doesn't seem to be able to do much their either. Stormlight is specifically aligned to Honor, another shard's investiture would not suffice. We can see this with the enlightened spren in WaT, despite being hit with anti-stormlight daggers, the two spren's Odium side is just fine. Even if such a thing were possible that's well beyond anyone's current capacities. And no you could not soulstamp pure investiture, just general investiture resists investiture rules. 1. Just a heads up this isn't the Emberdark spoiler forum. 2. While yes perception can mold investiture, it takes far too long to be used practically. Well Stormlight is a gas not a wavelength, but it also is pure investiture. And I think that between the powers of Roshar and their own surges that there isn't a single Herald who couldn't escape or outright kill Shallan. Even before becoming a Herald Kaladin would have killed Shallan easily. This is certainly among the more creative ideas out there, and honestly if you could get a Herald to the CR and then soulcast a sufficiently thick border of aluminum around them might be enough.

This thread has been inactive for over two years. The standard policy is to allow such threads to remain inactive. Welcome to the Shard :).

Shai used a Soulstamp to turn herself into an Elantrian

Yes, fortunately manpower is not something we lack. Within the prelude Kalak says that he got Killed by Thunderclasts frequently, yet the ones we see are not particularly skilled. Yes, but that takes a decent amount of time. Indeed Kaladin's fight with Amaram and Nohadon losing a massive portion of his lords to Yelig-nar despite having multiple surgebinders is an indication that the Host can survive for an extended period of time to master the surges. Amaram also did next to nothing with what he had, only using the surges once each. Kaladin had more stormlight than ever would be necessary, and Kaladin still would have lost if not for Rock. You haven't read TLM have you? I mean Mraize and Iyatil used it to get away from Shallan and the Windrunners just fine.

Yeah those guys. We don't know when they showed up but they arrived after the desolations started at a the very earliest.

Welcome to the shard, please note this thread has been inactive for a year or so, and we generally discourage necro-posting. Please do consider introducing yourself here: https://www.17thshard.com/forums/forum/11-introduce-yourself/

Okay, I've had an idea. The answer comes to us in the form of the Unmade, I give to you Yelig-nar. With access to all ten surges Yelig-nar holds the potential to counter any of the Heralds by exploiting the powers they don't have. In addition we want Elantrian Shai, an enlightened Elsecaller, and a lot of aluminum guns. Our plan is for Yelig-nar and our gunners to engage the Herald while our Elsecaller uses Elsegates to move people around as fast as they possibly can to keep the Herald disoriented and everyone else alive. While this is going on Shai is preparing our endgame, with powerful Aon attacks, or utility boosts depending on what would be the most useful.

I don't have the book on me so don't quote me just yet. (I'll take a look probably by the end of the week.) But the way I see it, it was a continuation of his disappointment with his relationship with 12124. I'm remembering him mildly complaining to Kaladin that Syl would have aided Kaladin if Kaladin was in trouble despite the fact that 12124 wasn't. Likewise how Szeth wasn't living up to a lot of 12124 expectations. I took it as Szeth looking at that and deciding they didn't work well together and should find someone else. A: "What are you in for?" B: "Murder, and you?" A: "I kidnapped a bird and framed innocent people for chouta." B: "... You monster."

No worries.

You can PM me directly if you want, I don't bite. Well the generally accepted method, and one which Brandon himself gives to us is this: Books > WoBs > Everything else. Basically that means that WoBs can be considered canonical insofar as that they do not contradict the books, and we remember that Brandon may change his mind. This allows for for things like TLR using the Well of Ascension to achieve his Allomantic powers to be canon, while Oathbringer being an Honorblade to not be, despite WoBs for both. Does that answer your question?

I'll dig through my book, though I believe that his exact words were "I release you, I was not a good match for you." He renounced Aux, not the oaths, as can be seen by his desire to find and reswear the skybreaker ideals. We don't know that was brought by Rosharans. That could easily have been stolen by enterprising Scadrians like Felt, Axwindeth or others.

Well looking into heat your natural body temperature is close to 98 degrees Fahrenheit. (As we are talking about the human body Fahrenheit is objectively the superior system of measurement for this). Getting to 1000 degrees would be slightly more than a simple 10x increase in temperature, that should be well within the limits of what feruchemy is capable of. Well, most heavy duty objects are going to be completely unaffected by this with both Aluminum and Iron remaining solid at these temperatures. So aside from being able to kill people or start fires which you can way easier without it, there isn't much use. Now you can go to a 12x multiplier and melt aluminum which has its uses in the future, but not much more than that. Getting to melt more industrial grade objects requires closer to 28x or more than the human body, which the nature of Compounding doesn't quite let us reach for any extended period of time, not to mention as @alder24 said, once you get to 16x-17x the human body temperature your brass will start to melt. Additionally due to the surface area of a human, melting objects outside the body wouldn't be very easy. As for radiation, I doubt it would cause any. Just like how speed bubbles don't have red/blue shift.

I had a conversation about this with @Trusk'our in 2023 and we came to the same conclusion.

They said he would announce it when they were ready. I don't think we'll get anything until at least Monday

Well thank you. No that's honestly fair, and I'm sorry that your contact with the Church had such a rocky start.

I mean if you want to be. Would he do it? I don't think so. If he does I'll be upset along with you.

If it ever gets confirmed: Stupidityspren. Alternatively Logicspren. Like imagine debates where you can actually just point out: that argument was stupid you did/didn't even draw a spren. I have a feeling the world would be a lot better if we had a visual indication that people are idiots.

There are several assumptions here The destruction of Ashyn was caused by nuclear explosions Any magic that causes nuclear explosions are microkenisis I'm not sure how you are conflating Dawnshards with Surgbinding. Addressing them: The destruction of Ashyn was not nuclear. The planet is still burning thousands of years later. Simply forcing fission on normally occurring elements would not cause this. Microkenisis is a Yolish based magic system that focuses on the manipulation of axi. The powers possessed by Ashynites were similar enough to what they have on Roshar as to be called: Elsecalling, Bondsmithing etc. In Oathbringer chapter 113 it's said that Dawnshards were used to destroy Ashyn, not just surgebinding, but Dawnshards.

I wish you luck. I have a thing later, but I'll see if I can ask it before I leave.

Yeah I know the episode. That post actually comes from a rant I had because of said episode. I mean I reread the same books, and rewatch the same movies if they're good enough. If I've read Mistborn 3-4 times and I'm willing to do it again why would I not watch the movie version? I somehow didn't respond to this one first but I must disagree. While Roshar is the best of the worlds, has the best theories, while the experience of reading a book so massive if you drop the series it registers on the Richter scale is amazing, Mistborn is the better series from a story standpoint. The tension, stakes and tone are a lot more consistent and a lot better in Mistborn than Stormlight.

I haven't seen those so I won't say. What I will say is that someone tried buying the rights to Emperor's Soul in order to make their own story into a film. Even if that made a better story than the Emperor's Soul that wouldn't make it an adaptation of The Emperors Soul. That's its own story stealing names for IP recognition. I don't think that counts. Because I'm not paying to see someone's Mistborn fanfiction. If I wanted that it's free online. I'm paying to see the book I know and love in a visual format. That's the whole point of making a movie out of an existing IP instead of an entirely original story. People aren't going to see a new or experimental story, they're coming for a story they already know. There isn't a need, just a want.

On Fabrials: The main antifabrian hubs: Urithiru: All fabrials must be reconfigured to run Towerlight, and even if that works naturally they are still stuck in one place. Jah Kevad: Most of their stuff is implied or outright said to be fake. Azimir: Has no sources of Warlight or Stormlight. Theylenah: Must reconfigure to use Warlight if that doesn't work naturally. So only 1/4 of the fabrial manufacturing locations can actually work in a way that stimulates economic and technological growth. I could maybe see it a little higher, but I'm skeptical right now as to how much survived the Night of Sorrows and I don't want to speculate too heavily. Yea, in end Shallan goes to the Horneater Peaks and the Perpendicularity is gone. Chapter 147 for reference, or here's the copperind summary https://coppermind.net/wiki/Summary:Wind_and_Truth That was based on the idea of going to the CR and Elsegating to the desired location, which bypasses a lot of the restrictions that time dilation imposes. That said there would be some limitations. I'll think about it but I might knock it down another .5 I was assuming that they would be reporting back to a local operating location or that they would be spying on another individual/group on Roshar. I did knock a point for lack of unity, and I noted the limitations to Urithiru in Armed forces with its own deduction Why thank you.
