  1. When the BoredBois have funny comments Obi-wan "You have become the very thing you swore to destroy"
  2. No, you where but from his response I don't think he understood.
  3. What @Karger means is why not just use Bendalloy.
  4. I found books stocked early before, hopefully I can get my hands on a copy of RoW that way. And My uncle is afraid he will die before he get's to finish Brandon stop writing entire series between Stormlight entries.
  5. You've had to wait that long! I had no idea of this pain I just started reading Sanderson Summer of 2019 so I had all the books we do now. I am so sorry.
  6. Foreshadowing for something, but what it is can be disputed, when Adolin draws Stormlight I'll reconsider but for all we know this is as far as it will go.
  7. I'll be totally honest I have barely any knowledge about firearms, but Coins killing people only hit the places where a bow would kill.
  8. When you realize everyone before you has won at one point or another for a period of time but now you can take all of it. Muhahahahaha
  9. Those are highly specialized bullets and gun so I'd say that they don't count your standard firearm won't cut it. war picks yes, and real warhammers(they look almost exactly like their normal cousins so shut up Thor) could be used that way but Parshendi stone hammers? no, not really. And things that would total standard plate shardplate eatss up so most would not be a problem, maybe special tools designed to be used by another shardbearer or only against shardbearers, but I don't see anyone able to just carry that around.
  10. It's their weight that propels the coins The difference being?(not trying to be offensive here I'm not entirely sure what you mean) Rudimentary firearms and Plate co-existed, it wasn't until later that plate was forsaken in lieu of armor designed for bullets, and I would argue that even bullets aren't enough to crack plate hammers and maces best use is blunt force trauma, namely against the head , breaking armor is something you see in movies but wouldn't happen under normal circumstances,
  11. Just because he's been dead since 1973 doesn't mean he becomes a background figure who we all know about but never mention. J. R. R. Tolkien has done more for the genre of fantasy than any other contributor and it seems I'm the only one to give him the praise he deserves anymore. My apologies if I came off as derogatory in my last post, but I really feel he needs more respect within fantasy circles. One of the best compliments I can give Sanderson is that his world building is probably the best we've seen since Tolkien himself.
  12. there was no copying that is Odium's second magic system.
  13. I've stated above that regular plate is only dented by 160+ pound war bows, which correct me if I'm wrong is around the average weight of men in the beginning of 2002 according to the CDC. And we're talking about people who don't have fast food yet so on average they are going to be lighter. And Shardplate being better than regular plate would take that in stride. Anywhere you hit you will have this problem, it's designed that way so that the plate re-directs arrows instead of stopping them completely. Simply by pushing an object against a angled surface it will deflect, and if the Mistborn somehow manages to get a perfect 90 degree shot the Radiant's head will move, changing the angle so it was pointless from the start. Stormlight and Shardplate together effectively make one Superman. The only way so far I know of to kill them is to just hit them with everything you have and eventually they will stop healing. Also I enjoy Stormlight better than most other series(excluding re-reads Brandon put's too much time on character conflict that the second time isn't near as interesting)
  14. Most of the time I will agree with you, there is just one Granddaddy of Fantasy J.R.R. Tolkien you forgot about.
  15. No joke I told my uncle in January that RoW manuscript was done and his response was along the lines of let's steal it I'm not waiting until November.
  16. This, this is beautiful, I've been staring at this for five hours.
  17. That would be Ideal
  18. If she had time to notice ten spren you think she would think about the only one she recognized you know like "Oh, gloryspren." As you can probably tell I don't subscribe to lesser spren theory.
  19. Then Shallan would have recognized GlorySpren.
  20. Ball Bering would roll more so you just increased the problem. Plate is extremely resilient it takes multiple hits from weapons that cut stone like hot butter, additionally in order to actually get the force out of the push it has to connect which will cause it to move along the face plate and away from the previous hit. As to jackhammers, you'll notice that they are meant to be used on the surface beneath them, not adjacent, and provide the necessary force to break stone/other materials, repeated hits from insufficient force won't do anything it would take years of me poking my wall before I make a window.
  21. It says HE not you or some other term HE, also you'd have to land that just so or it will slide off ht curve of plate.
  22. I've had that happen
