Five out of of how much?

Folorian arrived to the guild, finding Aln talking with someone, no, actually two people: She was explaining to Ben how a phone worked. He shifted his attention back too the two unknown right on time to hear Dr Gears give his name. "Hello every one, are there more than four people here? Am I missing anyone?"

Crow had never answered to Folorian, distracted by what was happening near Ben he guessed Aln seems you to come, it seems it will be a fight Folorian searched where Alanis was for a few second before telling Crow he was going to help her and ran toward her, subconsciously taking a course that stayed relatively far from the heavily dented van. If a fight did start, which seemed extremely likely, he would probably only be able to distract opponents with his illusions, as he did not obtain the Transformation surge with his first oath You know perfectly what to do about that. He reach his pocket for a copper sphere, his most important coppermind. Yes, he knew perfectly what he should do, he'd know it for five years. I locked this memory away for a reason You are ready for it now What if I'm not? It would kill us both It won't kill you I could not sleep for years after that. Rust I could barely speak for months Things are different now, you were a child then, you have friends now I had a friend back then, before That happened. Aln won't leave you. Aliece didn't want to leave me either Aln has far more mastery over her destiny than Aliece She certainly had, you did not create a guild by letting people decide for you, even one as small as the Scholar Guild. On that though, Folorian arrived near Aln "I'm hear, do you need me to do something?"

If it would not have been the worst joke ever, Kerr would have asked Alanis if she had gone deaf, that was the question he'd asked seconds earlier, well, it had probably been just a few seconds but really how could he know? "Humm.. Apparently we've been been elscalled to a place close to where we were. humm.. ah, you actually meant 'why are you here', humm.. I followed you in case you needed help, apparently you did but no one noticed me asking" @Sorana@Ashbringer@Rushu42

Kerr fell from Aln's leg as he returned to his original form in Shadesmare "Humm... I guess you don't need our help after all humm... Oh, Pel! It's been a long time humm... oddly long with our radiants living in the same building" Kerr? Is everything alright? I heard some kind of.. statics on our bond We're fine, it seems we've been elscalled humm.. Elscalled? So I guess there was danger, could try to learn more On it hum. "I didn't follow everything, humm.. could you tell why you did this emergency tranfert? humm.."

Kerr was humming annoyedly, why did these human ignore him? He realized Aln might have not seen his words, but the others where simply ignoring him. Aln don't seem to have seen me, and the others are ignoring me. They probably just didn't hear you, just try to get closer to Aln's eyes level and try again. There don't seems to be somewhere to climb on. Then climb on Aln I guess. @Rushu42 @Ashbringer @Sorana

Radiants don't need to be broken, Lopen never was. About whether surge or surge + hand to hand can replace weapons: Adhesion: at 1st oath the only usable effect in combat is the small stormlight trap, which an skilled opponent will avoid and which completely fails if their shoes have aluminium soles, and anyway I doubt just sticking the opponent's feet to the ground is enough to make you win (does 1st oath windrunners even get traps big enough to bind both feet?). Later oaths get wind manipulation and larger stormlight trap, but I'm talking about 1st oath here Gravitation: fighting in the air require specific weapon training, lashing enemies require martial art training Division: close range so it require martial art training, but the effect (burning the skin and clothes) won't make you win, and good luck using it on anyone with any kind of armour Abrasion: I guess making your enemies slip would indeed be a powerful ability (and it would probably still work if the shoes are aluminium but not the floor), but are 1st oath radiant able to to do that? The closest Lift ever came to do that was in Edgedancer, so 2nd oath. On the other hand fighting while using abrasion on yourself seems to require specific training Regrowth: Broken Illumination: distractions would be useful in a fight, but it's more of an infiltration power, you'd still need to be a good fighter to win fights. For Renarin's versions, no idea Transformation: Broken Transportation: at first oath it only seems to allow to peer into Shadesmare and one way travel there, if we assume you can send other people without going then it might be strong if you use Szeth's martial art but otherwise it's just an escape button Cohesion: This one's a bit weird cause we've only seen it used by a 4th oath Stonewarden and Amaram (and one attack each) so we don't know how it works at 1st oath, but it seems its most useful effect is sticking your opponent's feet in mud then turning the mud to rocks, which is essentially a slower version of the adhesion trap, except it works on aluminium Tension: No idea, the only examples we've seen was with a 2nd oath Bondsmith, it didn't seem like it would be useful in a fight but Bondsmith are not supposed to be fighters anyway So what order need fighting abilities and can't? Maybe Dustbringers, maybe Willshapers and maybe Stonewarden. Yeah cause I assume the ratings are written assuming you get both surges with your first oath, but we know for sure it's not the case for Skybreakers, Edgedancers and Bondsmith, and the only order we're sure get both surges with the first oath is the Windrunner order. So it's less of a problem than I thought. still breaks everything I had in plan for NullBlade's sister but it's not like I can ask the Index to change just for that Actually skilled melee combatant is 50, I already had subtracted the 5 for the first oath, and like I said not all radiants are broken

I have a few things to say about the recent changes of the index, Firstly, the Index post of the character submission thread still say the cap is 150 points with 50 for skills and the one in the character discussion thread have not been changed at all, which could confuse new people. Secondly, I think this update does make the Index easier to use, especially the part where you separated the power part in two. I also absolutely love that all compounding variants but the really op ones and atium are within point range without weakness and that Feruchemist, Mistborn and the body stealing ablity seems to be possible to use without an insane amount of weaknesses (especially the last one, which previously required 100 weakness points) On the other hand, it's now impossible to make a Radiant that know how to fight, as 1st oath + skilled melee weapon training is 135 point which is 15 points over the cap. It seems to me like a Radiant that know how to fight should be possible with much less weakness points than 15.

Basic summary (courtesy of @ZincAboutIt)

How do you manage to follow a conversation with just the voice of one person again? I don't, you're supposed to focus on the conversation instead of just Aln. Also, why are you talking so slow? I'm not talking slow, you're talking fast. It seems they're having problems with some people outside, which make no sense since we're already outside. Well, ask Aln if we can help her. For the outside part, you're probably in a time dilatation zone, hence why you hear me fast and I hear you slow; of course it's weaker than Cadmium, we wouldn't be able to understand each other otherwise. Kerr crawled toward Aln's legs "Do you need our help?"

...I'm missing a joke about pain and frustration, right?

You, why?

Not if Odium's the Neighbour

Going for the "he stabbed me" gambit? On a shardbade user? There was no way it would.. No, it was working. Yep, he definitely had some kind of persuasion power, and it probably had either a small number of targets, a close range or a cautious user. NullBlade walked toward an small alley, when people tried to block his path he just pointed toward his shardblade and they dispersed, once he was in a part with less people, he started running toward his quarter, in the TUBA building.

You managed to make it even better^^

Finally, he was taking this slightly seriously. Although he just said he was a full fledged TUBAists when he'd said he'd just handled the application forms. "Well answer these questions and I'll leave you be: Why did you throw that sword? Why did you explode that wall? And why did you say the sword was a doorstop?"

Calling someone out for having things to hide? He was definitely new to the Alleyverse. Also he wasn't looking toward him but toward... Bang A wall exploded, causing NullBlade to move backward in his surprise -and step down from Kingston. He then fully drew his sword, and cut his cape of in the process. "You're right, I have a secret: I hate it when people make walls explode while I'm talking to them." Folorian nodded slightly to Aln We should check if she need help. Yes, go and call me if she does. As Kerr started following Aln, Folorian turned back to Crow "Do you think they are to take care of this or should we go help them? Also, my name's Folorian." @Ark1002

V1?

To be exact I count Investiture: 90 Skills: 20+30+25+15 = 90 Weaknesses: -20-15-15=-50 Sum: 130 Also, on the Index gold compounding is marked at 140 points, is it a change of the next Index version you teased us about? (also, can I have the ratings of NullBlade and era 5 Folorian )

How do we handle people that was not in the Alleyverse at the moment of the the respiking? Does Aylitha wipe the memory of every trader who come?

As Kingston started falling, NullBlade just got out the way and, before Kingston had the time to get back on his feet, put one foot on his back "You didn't tell me anything true" he pull his shardblade out if back scabbard a little, slightly cutting his cape in the process "And you better start now, and don't every " Of course, NullBlade didn't actually intended to use his blade on it, but Kingston didn't need to now it. "And don't ever talk about love that way again" He wasn't searching for love, quite the opposite. He had found love, and love didn't leave, after four months he could still feel her gentle gaze every time he stopped burning aluminium.

NullBlade garbed Kingson's harm with his left hand, leaving the right one free in case of need "I wasn't born with the last rain, I can see the difference between a sword and a doorstop" Kingson's answer made no sense, did he really expect him to confuse a sword and a doorstop? I yes he was either really dumb, had some kind of persuasion power or had another advantage NullBlade didn't know of, anyway it would be better to avoid dragging anyone else in this.
