Wayne is a bloodmaker, and at the end of TLM he gains full mistborn abilities. Wouln't it make him a gold compounder? Why didn't he try to save himself filling up the metalminds before blowing up?

They don't need to hide allomantic abilities, since the y would be able to control inquisitors. For the lord ruler, allomantic pulling is not the only way: you can cut his arms, and with a surprise strike it wouldn't be so impossible (kel keeps him busy with enhanced pulls/pushes, and he is very good with them, vin attaks from behind with enhanced pewter). I guess that most likley they would lose, but I expect that they might have a chance

It would take some time to make the metalminds, and i guess sazed could store identity and investiture, but not supercharge them on the go. The scenario is simply Vin and Kel attacking Kredik Shaw with some praparation, any kind of coupunding would be easy victory for them.

To create the bands you need a fullborn, which Sazed isn't.

Full knowledge means they know that removing his bracelets would kill him, and they know that a duralumin enhanced push/pull is able to remove them if they catch him by surprise. They are the best fighters in scandrial, i guess that they would make it. I added knowledge for few days, because with enough time aviable to prepare spikes and metalminds it would be no match.

it was too easy, I edited the post

In your opinion, what would have happened if Vin and Kelsier attacked Kredik Shaw as happens in book 1, but with full knowledge about inquisitors, lord rules powers and weaknesses, and all metals properties (including bendalloy, duralumin etc)? EDIT: they found out few days earlier, no time to use spikes

I remember him pulling the ship with allomancy, but no rope

I am curious as well, might it have to do with his powers? Is it some specific trining not mentioned in the first books? In the flashbacks the author remarks how bad his aiming was in the early days when he first met Lessie

Shallan had to remember lost memories, they speak truths instead of oaths, something tells me that design is able to make he remember

Hoid is e very complex and mistrious character, but i guess that, in this specific situation, he bonded a cryptic to be able to restore lost memories. And it's suspicious that he makes design go away just before meeting "Rayse"

I have the suspect that the whole thing was planned by Hoid, and he didn't bond a cryptic just by coincidence

I suspected that on the Vin epilogue...

So Tien was a Stoneward?

I guess that if he restores her she simply bonds him.

To have it at her side, maybe there is an higher threat, and she needs odium. Maybe trell?

The most important actors in SA are Odium and Dalinar. They will fight for roshar, but no shard will escape the system regardless the outcome of the fight. Cultivation moved travagian exacly to be there and kill Rysin in that exact moment, and she moved Dalinar to be there fighting Odium, and sealing him with the contract. We don't exactly know what Lift's main role will be yet, but I am sure that everything we saw so far was all cultivation's plot to stop Odium, like Preservation's one in Mistborn. I bet that there is also a secret history going on in the background, with some unexpected protagonist (I'd love to see a Tien's secret history-like book in Roshar)

Reading ROW, i found something odd regarding the number of awakened used. The number of acrtive windrunners is explicitly stated in chapter 5: "Kaladin had some three hundred Windrunners at this point" In chapter 10, Kaladin mentions that the one-on-one combat favors them, because the fused outnumbers the surgebinders: “I know,” Kaladin said quickly. “But this can serve us. You’ve noticed already how they’ll hold back and attack us one-­on-­one, so long as we play by their rules. Considering how many more Heavenly Ones there are than Windrunners, I think we want to encourage this kind of encounter. Killing them is barely an inconvenience, as they’ll be reborn. But each of ours they kill requires training an entirely new Windrunner. Getting back wounded for wounded favors us.” In chapter 14, Venli thinks that there will be about 100 fused once they are all awakened: Other Voices were gathering. There were some thirty of them—­she’d been led to believe that there would be as many as a hundred, once all the Fused were awake What does it mean? Does it mean that only a few fused can attend the meeting? Something is wrong in this case, since Leshwi is considered a low ranking one, and she does attend the meetings...

It was my first tought, but i am not sure about the timeline... btw, my comments so far: - i am really enjoying how much cosmere is involved in this book - the pacing is off. I am not talking about the writing pace, that is good, but the problem is that the reader knows too much about what is happening, and a lot of things that happen is irrelevant (example: the surprise attack in Urithiru is known too early, and everything happening in the between (about 20 chapters) feels like stalling - i like the main characters, i like how well you can feel their fears, their pain etc, but in this book, speaking about Kaladin and Shallan, it's too much so far. I know kaladin is broken, i know shallan has her problems, but this book keeps reminding it, basically in every page they are in. I noticed that, where in oathbringer we have seen some character developement, in row there is a step back. reading row kaladin feel a lot like wok kaladin, like there was no progression at all. However, the other characters developement is awesome PS: I am sorry for my english, i hope it's comprehensible..

oh thank you! I didn't read it!

Why did Jasnah travel to shadermar when attacked by the ghostbloods? We know she knew how to use stormlight, and had plenty of it aviable, and shallan would have surely been in danger without her on the boat.

Third oath kaladin with sylblade could take on szeth, who can wipe the floor with multiple shardbearers at once. i think it is a no contest, Kal wins

I guess that burning a metalmind with a memory allows you to store it in a new metalmind without forgetting it

hi everyone, I am reading cosmere books for the first time, but i think i made a mistake in the reading order, here is the books read so far: - mistborn trilogy - elantris - wax and wayne series - eleventh metal - allomancer jack - secret history - Shadows for Silence in the Forests of Hell - way of kings - words of radiance - edgedancer as you can see, I missed warbreaker. What shall I do now? Go on with Oathbringer or read Warbreaker first? I know it should be read before words of radiance but, since the damage is done, does it make any difference at this point?

I missed that part... I remember her blaming Amaram, and teh moment when Kaladin talks too much, but she doesn't see him with a shardblade in that moment, and she doesn't know that he is a sourgebinder. Maybe she connects it later, when she discovers about kaladin's abilities, but there was no obvious connection before. At least, not so obvious like a This post has been reported for attempting to skirt the rules*ing shardblade appearing in her hand
