Frustration

*Claps* that last line is so good. Alright Stick is stupid, it is literally a stick, the only thing it has going for it is that it's better than Shallan, and let's be honest, so is everything that isn't Shallan.

There will not be a Cosmere equivalent of Endgame.

*maniacal Frustration noises* So it's choice? Where does this come in then? By you're own definition, this is an arc, and you're right with maybe a side of they also can learn instead of grow, but it's fine. Additionally you have forgotten that you assume a character must have an arc, they don't List These are what we refer to as Static Characters, Characters that do not undergo change, and they are fine for it. As to things not being as interesting the second time while yes everything losses some of it's flavor, there are others that I can read again with barely anything lost Battle of the Tower, The Duel, Kaladin Vs Szeth parts 1 & 2, The Spear that Would not Break Etc. Action, combat, spectacle tends to retain more of it's interest through re-reads than Character arcs do. A good Author, much like a good chef, must know how much arc to put in and how much spectacle. To leave your reader with a good first bite and after taste. Back to my seasoning analogy, a book with no change in character, will be bland and tasteless, a book that is only change is inedible.

Well played

No Fadran cults. Cults are my thing, although Fish is showing me up while on the Shard.......... Also, I am now going to argue debate @Channelknight Fadran about this point Character arcs are overrated I'll explain Who here likes Batman? Everyone, everyone like Batman because you aren't monsters. What is Batman's character arc? there isn't one well, maybe in some niche story but for all intents and purposes there isn't one. Why do we still like Batman? Because he's Batman, he's awesome just how he is, change would make him less interesting. Now, are character arcs useful? Yes, OB would be super boring without Dalinar's arc. Can they be overdone, yes, ever re-read OB? The arc being fulfilled is a one time thing and there isn't enough WOW! to make up for it. TL;DR Character arcs are more of a seasoning than a main course and anyone who tells you they are necessary is dead wrong.

Hoid can't hurt sentient creatures so that's one down Khriss was being extra safe because ruin and Mraise's worldhopper status is questionable.

"Who, what? A spren? On Scandrial? What kind of spren are you? Are you of Harmony? How do you retain intelligence in the Physical realm?" Venten asked his curiosity making him temporary forget Philico.

"How so?" @Matrim's Dice

Alright, thank you for answering.

If that were a reasonable option I might join in being skeptical, however isolating Chlorine is far Far beyond what they are able to do.

here is the coppermind on fortune The Ars Arcanum says fortune, not luck

It's chromium, and it isn't luck at least it's not likely to be.

Are you thinking of Chromium? because fortune is future sight.

While useful, it would take a huge amount of time to make and expensive to mass produce, you forget that plant life on Roshar is much more limited than on earth, a lot of what we have they would only dream of. Sand and oil are the only things we have seen that could fulfill this purpose and it would be about ten seconds, and if it ever became a big deal, then they would start using eye shields. It's just not an economicly viable option.

You forget, you have to get something that would actually(permanently) blind them on impact be able to at least(somewhat) reliably hit the faceplate in such a way that it gets into the eyes, from over six feet away(and that's Rosharan feet, so maybe closer to seven) and that might be a problem, because a lot of what might be used to such effect is not available on Roshar. If you only temporarily blind them then they will just back up and clear vision, disengaging for a shardbear isn't that hard we see Dalinar and Adolin do it often. Aditionally you have to hit the faceplate, we see Shardbearers dodging balista arrows, so I doubt a thrown object would be very reliable. Now a much better option(in my opinion) is to remove the helm, that would leave them extremely vulnerable.

So if there isn't a reason, could we maybe add that feature? I'll admit I have no idea how long that would take but I've had several instances where the ability to edit a status report would have been nice. I in no way mean to impose, and if it would take to long I can work around it. Thanks.

Because belief isn't fact. Now you can believe something, and it is true you believe it, but just because you believe it doesn't make it true. You might think it's true, but perception can't change reality.

@Channelknight FadranFadran

But it isn't. Just because you think something doesn't make it fact.

First Gem - 10 Rings - 0 Kill rings GG everyone! @AonEne can I make the new list?
