Right, they can't feel fatigue because their muscles never get sore. We don't know that Stormlight actually produces extra energy beyond the healing, although I guess it would if it's making up for the lack of energy. I don't really know how fast someone could perform anaerobic respiration if they weren't limited by pain and damage to their muscles, so the strength thing might be wrong. My point is that Radiants can be constantly pushing their muscles to a point where they would normally be exhausted after a few seconds.

Brandon steps out of The Hero of Ages and spikes the nearest person to you, using a spike made of Andonalsium's Investiture. Not even he knows what powers you have been granted.

Finally got around to watching the video/playing the demo! The mistless version runs a lot better, although there's still some motion blur (That's probably just me, I just wanted to mention it in case anyone else had the same problem when running it). Loving the progress, I do have a few small suggestions/questions as always though. -Maybe you could put a trigger for when the targets get hit with a coin? -Can you run/jump on all the roofs now? -Pewter jumps should probably be around roof height. This would a) be more in line with the books and b) encourage players to use steel/iron to get around more. Also, it would be interesting to sort of add savantism, in that players are going to be almost always burning pewter, so attacks/speed/jumps could be pitiful without pewter. -Have you decided what category of game this is going to be? I think it will help your process a lot since attacks and NPC interactions have not been added, so that will guide them.

All the Shards get Splintered and they get reassigned Intents, Mistborn Era 4 is actually just the Reckoners.

The reason Radiants don't need to breathe is because they are performing solely anaerobic respiration. There must, therefore, be some enhanced strength, since anaerobic respiration doesn't produce as much energy. They're not actually gaining any stamina, they just are instantly healing from the damage from lactic acid.

I want to say I saw a WoB that said some metals are different slightly on different planets, but I can't say for sure.

As long as you imagine the burrito as a single burrito, or just don't chew.

I ship Wandersail with Brunstell, the flying ship.

They are among the best orders, but Vin was familiar with the way Atium worked and was extremely lucky, while this assumes no preparation. If Truthwatchers can access Futuresight without becoming incapacitated (like Renarin does), then yes, they could in theory counter Atium. You have to remember: Atium is the only perfect form of Futuresight we know of, it's probably the most powerful single form of magic we've seen so far (besides Shardic influence). Radiant healing is to c-gold as Wolverine is to Deadpool: if they get a few seconds, they can heal up, but they're not functionally immortal or anything. 1. Mistborn are very accurate, it's not entirely out of the picture. 2. If the Mistborn has a solid anchor and a lot of pewter and steel, they could do a significant amount of damage in one hit. If it does go "dink", retreat/Shardblade are likely. Radiants use up their resources faster than Mistborn, even having used up their resources like that, they are likely to be able to get away. Are you saying Live Plate is completely indestructible or unable to heal? Those are the two options if it doesn't need light, both of which seem unlikely. The best way around would just be to chase them, Radiants with Gravitation have much better vertical mobility than the more maneuverable Mistborn. We don't know how practical Shardbows were, the Mistborn could just choose another anchor, and you still have to inhale all your spheres eventually. Enhanced senses and reflexes make it hard to sneak up, but yeah, if a Radiant gets a guaranteed hit, they automatically win

Well I love making board games, count me in! If we're doing a system where there is only one of each faction, I encourage you to check out Root for inspiration. Each faction plays using entirely separate mechanics, and they still somehow mesh together really well. Idle thought, but if this game ever gets into the later stages of development, maybe someone who's good at art could draw the cards in the style of Shallan's notes or something.

That's part of my whole "Mistborn are the perfect assassins" point: a Mistborn is almost always burning tin and pewter, leading to greater environmental awareness and reflexes. It's probably difficult for anyone but a Drab (or Feruchemist) that is somehow perfectly quiet to sneak up on either, since a Mistborn uses their senses and a spren is unlikely to notice someone with no impact on the Cognitive realm. This is basically my point. The battle comes down to the Mistborn playing keep-away until one of them runs out of Investiture. A Windrunner or Skybreaker could follow effectively, but then what matters is who is more comfortable with their magic, since a Windrunner will catch up over long distances, but will get disoriented with quick, sudden changes, while the Mistborn will be using their ammunition to get away but can get a lot more precise in their movement, especially close to the ground. The majority of Radiants have a way to one hit KO the Mistborn, not even counting a hit from the Plate or Blade, so it's possible to win if the Mistborn is super careful, but the Radiant will always have a big advantage. So they'd just turn themselves into a Radiant, is what you're saying. (Actually, custom Shardplate would be sick)

Removing the helm would help, but it wouldn't instantly make the Radiant vulnerable.

It does, Shardplate is protected from most kinds of Investiture. I don't know if removing the helmet would actually stop emotional Allomancy. You can't Push or Pull on it either.

I'm pretty sure I understand a negative amount of things that are going on here. *Uses Illumination to make Spikes look like chocolate chips* Edits five minutes later: Why didn't I just read the rules first?

A lot of these seem to fill the role of the Shard "that just wants to survive". Hope would probably be targeted by Rayse or Ambition, since they seem likely to make rule unstable. Ingenuity and Wisdom fill similar roles and maybe would be too smart to get involved in the conflicts between Shards? Caution would basically have this as their Intent.

The point was that the Mistborn can wear down the Radiant. The coins just have to crack the plate, not go through. Even if they Lashed the coins instantly, their momentum remains. Shardplate makes you faster, but not by an incredible amount. In fact, I'm pretty sure a Misting flaring pewter would be faster. Electrum would still be useful, since you'd still see what paths would lead to you getting hit and what one's wouldn't. Atium wouldn't remove the metals, at least to our current understanding. Leras temporarily removed Bendalloy and Chromium from public knowledge, but TLR kept industry in a state where they couldn't be produced anyway. Atium only removes those two, which aren't very useful in a head-on fight. Why would this be a better comparison? How much do you know about court assassins in Medieval England versus Ninjas? It is difficult to sneak up on a Radiant, you're right that I forgot about the Spren. The problem is, you're forgetting Shardplate's main weakness: as soon as it gets damaged, your opponent just needs to survive until you run out of Stormlight. In fact, now that I think about it, this fight really just comes down to who has more Investiture. Metal is clearly a denser source of Investiture than gems, so the Radiant would need to finish the fight quick before they can't use Surges anymore.

Assuming access to Atium, a Mistborn wins right away by putting a dagger into the eyeslit. Without it, they still have a good chance, but only if they have access to large quantities of metals. They have access to much better mobility than a Radiant, so they could in theory wear them down with coins until the Shardplate stops working. It does ultimately come down to the fact that they don't really share the same roles from a purely combat point of view. A Mistborn is a rare and valuable asset, whose emotional manipulation, use of the surroundings as a weapon, and enhanced strength and senses make them nearly the perfect assassins. A Radiant, on the other hand, is a soldier who has sworn oaths to uphold, and has in return gained power armor, a big lightsaber (yes they don't look similar, but they do work nearly the same), and access to two powers. They for the most part aren't supposed to work individually, but instead are with other members of their orders. A good example would be just a samurai versus a ninja. In reality, ninjas were not very trained for combat - they would sneak into an area, take out their targets stealthily, then sneak out. On the other side, a samurai was trained to fight on the field of battle and was heavily armored. Their armor was able to stop the traditional thrown weapons of the ninja, and they had much better reach and strength than a ninja. In a fair fight on an empty field, a samurai will almost always win. However, as the fighting area becomes more complex, the versatile Mistborn/ninja gains more of an advantage over the bulky Radiant/samurai. Note: take all this information with a grain of salt, I'm not that good at history.

I had a counselor that recommended Mistborn to me, which I instantly loved. Ironically, I had actually read Reckoners the year before, when it was recommended to me by a friend, but didn't realize it was Sanderson until years later. Now that I put it on paper it's not that fleshed out of a story

Welcome to the Shard! In my opinion, while the Cosmere has a relatively loose reading order, I generally find this link to be most helpful for people. (If I can't convince them to follow my weird and specific reading order ) https://paleocrafter.github.io/reading-order/#/?layers=all&categories.plan=false

I'm going off the Coppermind article, where there's no C, now that I finally ordered them.

That's the only one, and I included it in my count.

It's also possible that the misspellings come from Women's Script not having all the same letters/sounds as Romance languages, and English especially has so many weird rules and stuff that those might actually be the best translations. I counted, only 26 characters and some are "CH" and "SH", so some letters must be missing.

When you attempt a chemical analysis on the Atium bead Brandon is selling in hopes of unlocking the power of futuresight (Quarantine happened before I was able to go through with it)

We know there are a LOT of bind points, it's still up for debate how randomly you could spike someone and get a working Hemalurgic spike (although we do know that it probably wouldn't do what you wanted if you did it that way). It is possible that there is a Hemalurgic bind point in the earlobe, and Spook was probably spiked in one of the Physical points we already know about. The way it makes most sense (at least for me) is that there are a certain number of targets on the body that your Aluminium bullet could hit that would steal Investiture. As a Spiritual metal, the bind points we know of are in places unlikely to do enough damage before they can remove it (the sides of the lower abdomen and the arms and legs), then access Healing. It really ultimately depends on how forgiving and how plentiful the bind points are, otherwise you're just using a very expensive and fragile bullet. *Edit* WoBs coming soon!

A few things: 1. I haven't played the updated demo, so I don't know how it runs, but I've been sharing the demo with some of my friends, and while it's certainly as cool as I hoped it would be, the old one also runs at about 5 frames/sec on my computer. The ambiance is important to the game b/c the mists and stuff, but if you release a third demo, could you have an option for decreased lighting/graphics (I don't know how hard that is) 2. If you're looking for more feedback/more of a following, I would recommend posting a link to this thread or a new thread w/ the first post copied over in the "Sanderson Fan Works" forum. 3. I know next to nothing about programming, but I love game design, so I have plenty of ideas. It's your project and your time and resources though, so I'll keep them at a minimum unless you have a specific question. 4. How many of Sanderson's other works have you read? Honestly, if you haven't read the other Cosmere works, you really should. Mistborn is awesome, but definitely not the peak of his writing, in my opinion at least.
