    It's all right if you feel the need to take a break, we understand Actually, I'm going on a week-long family vacation tomorrow (which I'm not actually looking forward to) and won't be on the Shard till it's done. So, yeah, I'd be a hypocrite if I didn't say it was okay for you to get a break too. I like it! Fits well with what the Twinborn does and sounds pretty neat. I'll have to read that thread sometime soon; I'm actually really curious now as to why you feel it's so great and would love to hear more about it (okay, I know some reasons it's great, just not why it necessarily would be counted as the best Metallic Art power, though I'd like to hear why you think so). Just out of curiosity, what kind of Twinborn would it take to get a solid 10?

    I thought that F-duralumin stored Connection and F-electrum stored determination

    Lol, just gotta love autocorrects by AI

    Personally, I'm really excited to see Kaladin and Szeth have to hang around each other for a while. With Kaladin beginning to look into helping those with mental illness, it would be good to see the two of them become friends

    Steel plating repels Aethers that are growing. So, would steel plating on the hull of a ship protect it when entering the Crimson Sea, since the spikes that are formed wouldn't ever pierce the ship?
  6. Trusk'our
    Ooooo. I like it! Haven't seen that strategy yet, though it probably would do well.

    I thought it was called "nitpick" Edit: Ah, well, it seems that the original "mippick" was indeed a pun, playing upon the username of the poster with said nitpick, thus, making it funny. It seems that my "joke" has only proven my own lack of understanding of social ques

    An interesting question. It's worth noting that they (Radiant Spren, at least) are quite Invested, which should make them particularly resistant to Emotional Allomancy even if we discount their incorporeal biology.

    Welcome to the 17th Shard! Hope to see more of your presence here in the future One small point I want to mention; technically you don't have infinite Feruchemical attributes, as your Allomantic strength determines how much Feruchemical charge you get per unit of metal burned- you could either choose to constantly have a smaller boost to your attributes via Compounding (just benefiting from burning Feruchemical stores) or store a bunch over a period of time and tap it at a much quicker rate over a shorter period of time. Still, very powerful. It's true, they are pretty cute as far as monster-bug-things go

    Awww, thanks @Scars of Hathsin! It means a lot to me that you think so highly of my Cosmere knowledge

    Better to voice an idea for others to criticize than risk having an incorrect idea lodge itself in your brain, I always say

    I hadn't considered that Marsh might already be using F-aluminum to Compounding viable for himself, but he did get some spikes from the other Inquisitors after they died, so perhaps this is possible. Though, I will say that I think it's unlikely that the Lord Ruler taught the Inquisitors the secret, as he didn't want them to be too powerful and potentially overwhelm him. It's possible that Ruin took measures to equip some one or more of the Inquisitors with this power, but I don't recall anything standing out in the books that would point to that being the case. In short, maybe this is the case, but I don't see a lot of evidence for it as of right now.
  13. Trusk'our
    Hmmmm, perhaps. I definitely think it would be worth a try, particularly since the bullets are meant for the super heavy-weights of Investiture users.
  14. Trusk'our
    Oooo, hadn't thought of that; it might allow you to use Steelpushing on it while it repels Surgebingding. You mean like using Hemalurgy to fuel the Awakening instead of Breaths? Might work, depending on how much you can blank the Hemalurgic charge (or if you can find a way to Hemalurgically steal other's Breath- which may be possible so long as it's the original Breath the person had). I'm super curious to see whether Compounding a Nicrosilmind filled with Breath allows for Breaths to be generated. That would be really powerful, though I'm all but certain that there are some strings attached- I mean, just look at Hemalurgy's new limitations with Compounding and the number that someone can bear at any given time.
  15. Trusk'our
    Oof, okay Just super excited for all the really cool ones.
  16. Trusk'our
    Interesting. I hadn't thought of that as being an advantage of A-duralumin or nicrosil before, but perhaps that would help explain why Vin's duralumin pewter was so powerful- it didn't have the same kind of diminishing returns (though probably still some) as a Feruchemist tapping power. Edit: Hey @Koloss17, I just thought of a really cool Twinborn combo; A-Bendalloy plus F-steel. Would you be interested in bending the rules a little and making a post about that one soon ?
  17. Trusk'our
    Lol, just came up with this one myself a few minutes ago on another thread Also would be a good weapon for mass destruction or countering highly Invested individuals. Sounds devious . Might want to make it more like a taser though, or maybe you could make a "tranquilizer" with it, but with pain instead of sleep-inducing drugs? Awakened bullets? That would probably be very effective, though hard to mass-produce.

    I was on a thread recently that talked about making Scadrian styled weapons to combat Rosharan Surgebinders. I came up with the idea of making a Harmonium bullet when I got a way better (or at least a more catastrophic) idea. You could create a small device inside a bullet to send an electric charge (briefly) some Harmonium and use Trellium to split it. Basically, you create a very powerful exploding bullet that could vaporize even the most Invested non-Shardic entities. We know that Wax used about half a gram of Harmonium when he blew up his room, and even a .22 bullet has 32 grains of mass to it, which converts to 2.07356512 grams. Basically, you could fit enough Harmonium/Trellium into a handgun to easily blow up a room (assuming you could get the device that creates the electric current small enough), and a larger gun made specifically for killing Lord Ruler-level beings could hold a lot more. What say you guys? Is it doable? Is it a potential way to counter/kill extremely powerful Invested beings?
  19. Trusk'our
    True, I suppose; it's been compared to gold in its malleability. Perhaps only part (the tip, maybe?) of the bullet is made of Harmonium to fix that? Actually, I just came up with a new weapon idea... I'll put it in another thread though, since it doesn't really pertain directly to this topic.
  20. Trusk'our
    Interesting thoughts. One other thing to consider between Nightblood and Szeth is that their Intents are matched in such a way that they don't "react" as much. Perhaps this could be part of the reason Nightblood isn't as talkative in SA?
  21. Trusk'our
    Can it? I was under the impression that it could only effect Kinetic Investiture, so a Metalmind in the process of being tapped would be vulnerable but one that was just sitting around would be impervious to A-chromium. Otherwise, Wax would have lost all his stored weight on the train fight with the Primer Cube and when Mr. Suit drained him in their duel in BoM. That could be an interesting scenario; you opponent isn't expecting you to have A-chromium, so they prepare to fight you in the fashion they normally do, which is something you could (and should) absolutely take advantage of. Oooo. I like that one!
  22. Trusk'our
    Honestly, he might not even have to drop the Shard- just use Nightblood and fuel it directly with his Investiture when trying to kill other Vessels.
  23. Trusk'our
    I think that an aluminum bullet designed to fragment inside the Radiant's body would be the most dangerous to them; they can't spit out the aluminum, and the fragments will cause further damage. It would also be interesting to see if bullets could be designed to carry Anti-Tones to actively repel Investiture once they lodge inside the target (it also may be that they would resist being manipulated by Investiture they are targeting, but that's purely a guess and aluminum already does that better). At the very least, they would cause a lot of pain, which would be distracting to the target. Yeah, I'd say that Wax using the Big Gun with huge slugs rather than frag shots would be the most effective for breaking Plate. Can't do much better than that. Harmonium bullets, perhaps?
  24. Trusk'our
    That just sounds really cool. I certainly hope that turns out to be true; it would be like- Calamity spoilers (for those who have read the Reckoners series): That... actually makes a lot of sense. I had always just imagined that the two powers of gold were just wonky mismatched things that didn't line up at all. But having both work with the Identity of the practitioner makes things fit together really well.
  25. Trusk'our
    Interesting question. I think that the Forms that the Listeners had would be mostly the same, though there would be minor differences. Think of Renarin's Bond with Glys; Renarin has the Surges of a Truthwatcher, but they manifest differently than they would in an uncorrupted Radiant.
