    Straff getting chopped in half... I think we’ll get Nightblood, I’ve pretty much given up on Rithmatist. He’s busier and busier every day with the Cosmere, I don’t think Rithmatist has a change of getting written until after Stormlight is finished. Edit: Or if we get another pandemic. That would work too.

    I mean, there’s going to be far less risk of this sort of thing occuring without the spike tables that directly put the spike through both. Also, how long do the elder koloss live for? Part of the Rosharan healthiness will be herd immunity, and they were still wrecked by the common cold when it was introduced by worldhoppers. Also, I don’t think Allomancy invests the person nearly as much as say, a Nahel Bond or the Shaod. Yes it would.

    So, I was thinking the other day, spiking big railroad spikes through your body is generally not good for your health. We know from WoB that hemalurgy doesn't cause infection, but what about bloodborne diseases? According to this WoB, hemalurgy has "terrible side effects," yet the only real side effect we see for individuals under four spikes is Ruin's voice. Hemalurgy having a "safe" amount doesn't really feel in line with the art. The Inquisitor's murder spike tables are terrible ideas in real life—and not just because of the injury. It has serious risk for other complications, besides the infections they're immune to. What if, say a coinshot, is having his power stolen from him, but he has HIV? As HIV (or hepatitis or something else) transfers upon contact with bodily fluids (like blood) this feels like a severe risk for the Inquisitors. Does the same force that blocks hemalurgic infections block this sort of disease transfer? Perhaps that's the reason the Inquisitors are all given F-Gold, because they need it in order to not die from AIDS. Does anyone else know something that might tell us more?

    @Trusk'our, what is your title (or whatever the name you get from likes is) right now? I doubt the culture will shift too much. Pure-movie watchers are unlikely to post on an online book forum. Although, we could maybe use a separate adaptation section.
  6. Qianweilian
    I agree. The best case scenario is they’re like LOTR. While many people think that the movies are better than the books (not me), the LOTR community is still massively benefited from the popularity they have. In our situation, we’d probably get more people reading the books, and interacting on the forum. The worst case scenario is that they’re either forgettable or apocalypticly bad, in which case nothing will change, other than the fact Sanderson probably won’t push as hard for future adaptations. Wait, I actually really want to watch this. Bavadin needs to suffer.

    "Vin frowned" or if WoT is available: "folded her arms beneath breast"

    Division can be used ranged according to the Cosmere RPG. Although regular use of division requires touch, there is a specific talent that allows you to perform division on each target in an area. It’s not an incredibly large area, but it is possible.

    Cool. Hopefully Brandon stops it from ending up like the Wheel of Time.

    Can I sign up? I’m new, so do you have any advice. I get the basics of mafia, but some more info about the roles would be nice.

    What does “splicing your sDNA” even mean? Are they like combined?

    And I considered myself more knowledgeable than most about the church for knowing what Kolob is.

    Although, Vin isn't an incredible example of the average Mistborn. Aluminum bullets to inhibit pewter will reduce their capabilities further. I concur that Mistborn are wasted on the battlefield and would make exemplary assassins—like in TFE.
  17. Qianweilian
    We did. (Although it was surprise). Vin obliterated, from what I remember, hundreds of soldiers.

    I would disagree, Jasnah has much less power than you would think. Dalinar and Navani really “dominate” the coalition, and they are monarchs of Urithiru, not Alethkar, while Jasnah rules over lands she doesn’t even control. But she’s not the official nor unofficial representative of the Coalition. The Coalition of Monarchs is very emphasized to be equal. The best representative for the Coalition would be Adolin, the only person who actually acted on behalf of the Coalition in a non-strategic manner. I disagree, and the main driver of the argument was not trust, although that certainly played a part, Taravangian was far less trustworthy. The main driver was utilitarianism, whether acting with honor was worth it despite the costs, and what it means to act honorably. It’s definitely arguable that Jasnah is not to be trusted, but that doesn’t justify a complete betrayal and defection to the opposing side.

    Aradan Liese, Smokestacks Aradan thanked Thav and tucked the iron in the pocket of his coat. Looking around, he walked over and sat on one of the chairs, thinking. This is a nice place. If he’s willing to work with me long term, than this would be an excellent base of operations. Now to think about something else. If I am to effectively deal justice to criminals, I can’t just do it by myself—or even with a team of sorts. I can’t be there everytime someone is mugged, but maybe I can make them think I will be… Criminals often get their way through the fear of retribution, what if I did something similar? Aradan then realized he still had some pewter left unburned. I have more anyways. He then flared his pewter and stored the resulting recovery/healing effects into his goldminds. @Steel Speedster

    That actually is often the way to “convince” someone of the validity of your morality. The essence of religion is faith, it lies in believing that God(or gods, etc.) is real. And conversion most often consists of convincing the convert that both: God is real, and the converters (don’t have a great universal term for this) are his representatives.

    Aradan Liese, Smokestacks Aradan followed Thav into the hideout, scanning around for traps. Apparently satisfied, he took a second to put his things down and stretch. He then replied, “I’m mostly fine on supplies, though I could use some iron. I never really had the opportunity to get much of a stockpile. What’s above us? Is it like a front for this place or is it owned by someone else? Is it unclaimed?" @Steel Speedster

    Afaik, there is an “outer darkness” that is equivalent to a traditional hell, but in order to arrive there, you must have a full knowledge of the gospel and then reject it. Not requirements most people meet, except for the sons of perdition.

    It’s true, I wouldn’t have had knowledge of Kharbranth. Now that I have some more time to think, here’s what I would do. I would still reject Taravangian’s offer. Once the assassins took control of the Thaylen Council, which of course I wouldn’t have knowledge of, I’d probably have to get Jasnah’s help. With her authoritarian tendencies—although she claims otherwise—Jasnah would probably be willing to help me self-coup so the Thaylen Council cannot relieve me of power. would of course, force her to reveal any assassins or agents in Thaylenah. After this, as I said in my original response, I’ll probably try to settle the build infrastructure through the Frostlands and former Kharbranth so I can reach Narak. My reasons are thus: I obviously can’t trust Taravangian. He’ll either find a loophole in any agreement I make or make the agreement irrelevant somehow. Also, while I’d consider myself slightly leaning to a realist/utilitarian perspective (although not nearly as much as Taravangian or Jasnah), joining Odium would be a betrayal of everything the Coalition was for.

    Aradan Liese, Mistwarrens For a moment, Aradan paused. After a split second, he decided Thav was being honest with him. He then spoke, “That sounds fine. I’ll help you if you help me. Would you be willing to show me your place in . . . you said, ‘Smokestack,’ right?"
