And, of course, the male and female OP strength ranks might not even correlate that much RugbyPlayingAshaman Send a noteboard - 14/09/2009 04:41:58 PM
We've discussed this back and forth, but the fact remains that each sex uses the Power very differently. The volume of Power needed to achieve an effect with saidin might not be anywhere similar to the volume of Power needed to achieve an effect with saidar.

It would be like a much more powerful channeler with the Talent of Foretelling confronting a weaker one who was quite dexterous with Fire. The first is more powerful, but the second has an affinity for a flow that is very useful in a direct battle, regardless of gender. This might equalize things to the extent that the more powerful channeler will decide to approach the weaker one in a less direct way to avoid having to see whose combat skills are more potent.

Of course... - 13/09/2009 08:36:39 AM 789 Views
I've been thinking the same for years - 12/09/2009 11:25:02 PM 891 Views

Fact is, the bwb is untrustworthy - 13/09/2009 05:54:28 PM 819 Views
We must either use all the quotes from the BWB or none of them - 13/09/2009 06:07:46 PM 868 Views
Or... - 13/09/2009 08:41:23 PM 814 Views
Re: Or... - 14/09/2009 04:46:52 AM 781 Views
But, RJ himself said that the BWB was written from the standpoint of a scholar - 14/09/2009 04:42:59 PM 806 Views
Re: Not Aginor - 13/09/2009 08:17:28 PM 778 Views
It all depends on how you define "powerful" - 14/09/2009 02:30:31 AM 895 Views
I agree 101%. *NM* - 14/09/2009 03:49:51 AM 449 Views
I think power is much more than raw strength - 14/09/2009 05:00:10 AM 783 Views
I agree for the most part, but disagree on one thing. - 14/09/2009 07:52:10 PM 903 Views

the other reason - 13/09/2009 03:24:24 PM 759 Views
So is graendal similar to lanfear then? - 13/09/2009 05:41:42 PM 765 Views
Graendal could fight Lanfear and win - 13/09/2009 06:01:57 PM 1303 Views

Re: Graendal herself says... - 14/09/2009 04:48:37 AM 808 Views
Doesn't Graendal have an Angreal now? - 17/09/2009 03:29:10 AM 823 Views
Re: Graendal herself says... - 15/09/2009 05:36:53 PM 696 Views
Lanfear was more powerful than Graendal, but Cyndane has less power - 13/09/2009 10:19:35 PM 767 Views
Re: So is graendal similar to lanfear then? - 13/09/2009 06:05:11 PM 905 Views
I agree with this - 13/09/2009 06:15:24 PM 919 Views
Compulsion=any other deadly weave. Doesn't really change matters - 13/09/2009 10:23:40 PM 785 Views
Excellent point *NM* - 13/09/2009 10:35:08 PM 464 Views
But it did give her an edge, and against two forsaken. *NM* - 13/09/2009 11:12:09 PM 438 Views
Hm? When? *NM* - 14/09/2009 09:04:10 PM 362 Views
tPoD, when she compelled Cyndane and Moghedien. *NM* - 14/09/2009 10:19:23 PM 414 Views
Not at all - 14/09/2009 04:51:48 AM 844 Views
Using Compulsion on someone doesn't seem mechanically different - 14/09/2009 09:03:41 PM 691 Views
I'm not so sure about that - 14/09/2009 09:36:45 PM 795 Views
Totally agree - 14/09/2009 10:26:07 PM 597 Views
I don't agree. - 15/09/2009 04:33:04 PM 909 Views
Re: So is graendal similar to lanfear then? - 14/09/2009 04:34:24 PM 744 Views
But Graendal confronted her... twice! *NM* - 13/09/2009 07:48:29 PM 390 Views
Apparently only the third time counts *NM* - 13/09/2009 08:00:37 PM 423 Views
Really? - 13/09/2009 08:36:33 PM 755 Views
No falsely... - 13/09/2009 11:25:40 PM 982 Views
That's pretty much my opinion in a nutshell - 14/09/2009 04:56:15 AM 912 Views
And, of course, the male and female OP strength ranks might not even correlate that much - 14/09/2009 04:41:58 PM 723 Views
They correlate on some critical points - 14/09/2009 06:57:43 PM 813 Views
That's not exactly what I'm referring to. - 15/09/2009 04:36:29 PM 671 Views
But then we are discussing the same thing - 15/09/2009 06:59:04 PM 813 Views
I think, outside of semantics, our main disagreement doesn't lie amid the higher tiers - 16/09/2009 03:53:09 PM 686 Views

Re: Ahh the old debate... - 17/09/2009 05:26:52 AM 716 Views
I only disagree on one point, I think they are all rather equal in potential, incl. Ishamael - 14/09/2009 04:28:12 PM 771 Views
I do think Ishamel is special - 14/09/2009 07:04:03 PM 857 Views
He's special the same way any individual is special. - 14/09/2009 11:36:42 PM 816 Views

The more interesting question is... - 14/09/2009 06:34:11 PM 724 Views
Hmmm - 14/09/2009 07:04:34 PM 751 Views
I think we'll see Graendal vs. Aran'gar. - 14/09/2009 07:31:16 PM 824 Views
Ah yes, that makes sense, and would be great! *NM* - 14/09/2009 07:40:29 PM 617 Views
Yeah. Though I think its no competition. Graendal has got to be better than a walking tree! - 14/09/2009 07:50:09 PM 711 Views
They do imply that Graendal is a lot more dangerous than she looks - 14/09/2009 09:08:43 PM 740 Views
I've never underestimated Graendal - 14/09/2009 09:42:49 PM 790 Views
Yeah... her frivolity was always a red flag for me too. - 14/09/2009 10:18:40 PM 771 Views
To me, she is the most lethal. - 15/09/2009 05:18:10 PM 597 Views
Yup... - 15/09/2009 06:39:20 PM 640 Views
I still like Lanfear more - 15/09/2009 06:51:03 PM 725 Views
Bah! She's an idiot! - 15/09/2009 07:06:06 PM 738 Views
only in love *NM* - 15/09/2009 07:23:29 PM 704 Views
Graendal did not beat me and Moghedien - 15/09/2009 05:59:39 PM 819 Views
Agreed - 15/09/2009 06:36:48 PM 715 Views
Ummm... how do we know? - 15/09/2009 06:40:57 PM 837 Views
