We must either use all the quotes from the BWB or none of them Sidious Send a noteboard - 13/09/2009 06:07:46 PM
For all we know the third age references to aginors strength were based on hereditary memories of his shadowspawn armies and not on his one power ability at all.


That may be true. We only have that quote, Moiraine's quote, and a quote on Osan'gar's strength - or the strength he showed us. You can't tell with males - not even Rand could. Without the BWB we don't know Ishamael, Aginor, Demandred or Lanfear's strengths.

I don't think RJ came up with an overly elaborate plan to make pseudostrengths for the Forsaken. He's said that Aginor was 2nd in strength, and I don't see the gain in lying about it. I think that he was 2nd in strength, along with Demandred and Lanfear, but because he was a lab rab he was not good with the Power or combat.

Fact is, the bwb is untrustworthy Shannow - 13/09/2009 05:54:28 PM 744 Views

But, RJ himself said that the BWB was written from the standpoint of a scholar RugbyPlayingAshaman - 14/09/2009 04:42:59 PM 721 Views

It all depends on how you define "powerful" Lanfear - 14/09/2009 02:30:31 AM 830 Views
I agree 101%. *NM* Yvves - 14/09/2009 03:49:51 AM 425 Views
I think power is much more than raw strength Sidious - 14/09/2009 05:00:10 AM 704 Views
I agree for the most part, but disagree on one thing. Lanfear - 14/09/2009 07:52:10 PM 823 Views

So is graendal similar to lanfear then? Shannow - 13/09/2009 05:41:42 PM 697 Views
Graendal could fight Lanfear and win Sidious - 13/09/2009 06:01:57 PM 1230 Views

Lanfear was more powerful than Graendal, but Cyndane has less power beetnemesis - 13/09/2009 10:19:35 PM 697 Views

I agree with this Sidious - 13/09/2009 06:15:24 PM 850 Views
Compulsion=any other deadly weave. Doesn't really change matters beetnemesis - 13/09/2009 10:23:40 PM 701 Views
Excellent point *NM* Shannow - 13/09/2009 10:35:08 PM 435 Views
But it did give her an edge, and against two forsaken. *NM* fionwe1987 - 13/09/2009 11:12:09 PM 408 Views
Hm? When? *NM* beetnemesis - 14/09/2009 09:04:10 PM 335 Views
tPoD, when she compelled Cyndane and Moghedien. *NM* fionwe1987 - 14/09/2009 10:19:23 PM 388 Views
Not at all Sidious - 14/09/2009 04:51:48 AM 775 Views
Using Compulsion on someone doesn't seem mechanically different beetnemesis - 14/09/2009 09:03:41 PM 615 Views
I'm not so sure about that Sidious - 14/09/2009 09:36:45 PM 717 Views

Re: So is graendal similar to lanfear then? RugbyPlayingAshaman - 14/09/2009 04:34:24 PM 675 Views
But Graendal confronted her... twice! *NM* fionwe1987 - 13/09/2009 07:48:29 PM 364 Views
Apparently only the third time counts *NM* Sidious - 13/09/2009 08:00:37 PM 392 Views
But the third time's supposed to be lucky. So that won't count either. *NM* fionwe1987 - 13/09/2009 11:26:18 PM 417 Views
Really? Shannow - 13/09/2009 08:36:33 PM 681 Views
No falsely... fionwe1987 - 13/09/2009 11:25:40 PM 895 Views
That's pretty much my opinion in a nutshell Sidious - 14/09/2009 04:56:15 AM 836 Views
And, of course, the male and female OP strength ranks might not even correlate that much RugbyPlayingAshaman - 14/09/2009 04:41:58 PM 652 Views
They correlate on some critical points Sidious - 14/09/2009 06:57:43 PM 729 Views
That's not exactly what I'm referring to. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 15/09/2009 04:36:29 PM 600 Views
But then we are discussing the same thing Sidious - 15/09/2009 06:59:04 PM 742 Views
I think, outside of semantics, our main disagreement doesn't lie amid the higher tiers RugbyPlayingAshaman - 16/09/2009 03:53:09 PM 614 Views

Re: Ahh the old debate... Sidious - 17/09/2009 05:26:52 AM 633 Views
I only disagree on one point, I think they are all rather equal in potential, incl. Ishamael RugbyPlayingAshaman - 14/09/2009 04:28:12 PM 693 Views
I do think Ishamel is special Sidious - 14/09/2009 07:04:03 PM 786 Views

Ah yes, that makes sense, and would be great! *NM* Sidious - 14/09/2009 07:40:29 PM 532 Views
Yeah. Though I think its no competition. Graendal has got to be better than a walking tree! fionwe1987 - 14/09/2009 07:50:09 PM 631 Views
They do imply that Graendal is a lot more dangerous than she looks beetnemesis - 14/09/2009 09:08:43 PM 661 Views
I've never underestimated Graendal Sidious - 14/09/2009 09:42:49 PM 694 Views
Yeah... her frivolity was always a red flag for me too. fionwe1987 - 14/09/2009 10:18:40 PM 695 Views
To me, she is the most lethal. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 15/09/2009 05:18:10 PM 523 Views
Yup... fionwe1987 - 15/09/2009 06:39:20 PM 568 Views
