  1. Maybe the numbers are a Shard thing, rather than a Shardworld thing, so 10 for Honor and 5 for Cultivation? *shrugs* I think they are a Shardworld thing but just maybe Also, I think 5 was attribute to somewhere/someone else
  2. What are you trying to say here? Stormlight is the primary form of Investiture on Roshar that fuels its fauna and magic. Dalinar used the Bondsmith Surges for fixing the temple and to use the Surges, you need Stormlight. Solidified Stormlight is my current favourite theory in regards to Shardplate. The lesser spren plate theory has a few gaps: why don't these spren manifest in the Cognitive in some form, how are they Bonded etc
  3. It very well could be! The names of the Unmade come from ancient Mesopotamian dieties, the Knights Radiant chart comes from the Sephiroth in the Kabbalah. Brandon clearly likes picking stuff up from mythologies
  4. It's very difficult to guess with just one clue anyway, especially when it's such a general one Give us the next one!
  5. Blightwind refers to the Unmade Yelig-Nar. Though there's another Unmade that matches that description much better. Read and find out.
  6. Which Order of the Knights Radiant is your favourite? Do you think you would've been in the same Order?
  7. It's also noticeable in how Preservation and Ruin apparently created life on Scadrial but couldn't create a new body for Kelsier without Hemalurgy: it's easier to make Investiture flow pre-made paths than create things ex-nihilo, plus I think it's difficult, in general, to directly affect sapient beings
  8. Granted, your legs are replaced with chicken legs I wish for SCP 999 hug
  9. Granted! In exchange for both of your legs, all of the hair on your head and an eye you get the Masque and are spared a bane from me... technically I wish for an incredibly good weather tomorrow
  10. Taste without smell experiments are a thing, apparently its very hard to distinguish between potatoes and apples without their smell
  11. This is from The State of the Sanderson 2019: Alcatraz 6 is "basically done", so not too far off but still a few years
  12. Which book is your least favourite? Also who's your current least favourite character?
  13. If you could take any magic system from the Random Magic Systems thread, which one would you choose?
  14. I don't like fanservice-y type nudity or where it's the only selling point. If it's part of the story though, then yes absolutely. I don't mind any series exploring a character's sexuality: like really, I don't mind, at all, most of the time I'm not gonna connect with them all that much anyway since I'm not straight. But yeah, hormones and horniness, I understand. I'm really not a fan of unnecessary violence in media though, which I think is a much more reasonable stance to take. Actually, reading the above comment, I wouldn't mind absolutely needless, random nudity. Here's one from the Bible: "And a certain young man followed him, wearing nothing but a linen cloth; and they seized him, but he left the linen cloth and ran away naked". That's it. The naked man doesn't appear again.
  15. Smell is very important, the biggest danger it can allow us to detect isn't fire or gas leak but rotten food: far more mundane and insidious. Flavors we taste come from what we smell, which is why foods can become flavorless when we have a blocked nose. Smell is deeply connected to emotion and long-term memory, and sensory deprivation from it has been linked to depression.
  16. It doesn't really matter, ultimately we're all destined to have our souls munched on by Rubix because we didn't read the terms of service https://www.17thshard.com/forum/terms/
  17. 4. It might cause the spren to dematerialize and reappear inside the time bubble?
  18. The three senses were a combo pack actually. Even if it wasn't, you really don't want to lose your olfactory sense, trust me. I wouldn't recommend going for gender dysphoria either.
  19. My, oh my, and what, pray tell, can you give The Nightwatcher in return? Your face perhaps? Your limbs? Your ability to form long-term memory? Perhaps your ability to taste and touch and smell? Maybe your gender identity?
  20. Welcome to the Shard! How did you discover Sanderson?
  21. Welcome to the Shard!
  22. #TeamNotEveryoneNeedsSuperpowers! #AwesomeUnpowered
  23. The duration for which a person is nervous can be compensated later on, for the exact same duration of time, which a person can exchange with a duplicate of themselves to do their work. This doppelganger will behave exactly like the real person (right down to the nervousness), while the original person can spend their time relaxing in a pocket dimension serving as their ideal world. The exchange cannot be initiated while the person is nervous, a period of nervousness only recharges the amount of time that they can spend switched with their doppelganger. Barter
  24. Granted, but you lose the ability to move in any other manner I wish for a real Hogwarts acceptance letter
