They correlate on some critical points Sidious Send a noteboard - 14/09/2009 06:57:43 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.


RJ said that the strongest channelers of both sexes were relatively equal in what they could do - and to the same degree. Therefore a group comprised of the strongest men and women possible, should contain people who can pretty much stand up against one another.

Of course... - 13/09/2009 08:36:39 AM 719 Views
I've been thinking the same for years - 12/09/2009 11:25:02 PM 821 Views

Fact is, the bwb is untrustworthy - 13/09/2009 05:54:28 PM 744 Views
We must either use all the quotes from the BWB or none of them - 13/09/2009 06:07:46 PM 800 Views
Or... - 13/09/2009 08:41:23 PM 725 Views
Re: Or... - 14/09/2009 04:46:52 AM 704 Views
But, RJ himself said that the BWB was written from the standpoint of a scholar - 14/09/2009 04:42:59 PM 721 Views

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

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

Doesn't Graendal have an Angreal now? - 17/09/2009 03:29:10 AM 745 Views
Re: Graendal herself says... - 15/09/2009 05:36:53 PM 617 Views
Lanfear was more powerful than Graendal, but Cyndane has less power - 13/09/2009 10:19:35 PM 697 Views
Re: So is graendal similar to lanfear then? - 13/09/2009 06:05:11 PM 829 Views
I agree with this - 13/09/2009 06:15:24 PM 850 Views
Compulsion=any other deadly weave. Doesn't really change matters - 13/09/2009 10:23:40 PM 701 Views
Excellent point *NM* - 13/09/2009 10:35:08 PM 435 Views
But it did give her an edge, and against two forsaken. *NM* - 13/09/2009 11:12:09 PM 408 Views
Hm? When? *NM* - 14/09/2009 09:04:10 PM 335 Views
tPoD, when she compelled Cyndane and Moghedien. *NM* - 14/09/2009 10:19:23 PM 388 Views
Not at all - 14/09/2009 04:51:48 AM 775 Views
Using Compulsion on someone doesn't seem mechanically different - 14/09/2009 09:03:41 PM 615 Views
I'm not so sure about that - 14/09/2009 09:36:45 PM 717 Views
Totally agree - 14/09/2009 10:26:07 PM 518 Views
I don't agree. - 15/09/2009 04:33:04 PM 832 Views
Re: So is graendal similar to lanfear then? - 14/09/2009 04:34:24 PM 675 Views
But Graendal confronted her... twice! *NM* - 13/09/2009 07:48:29 PM 364 Views
Apparently only the third time counts *NM* - 13/09/2009 08:00:37 PM 392 Views
Really? - 13/09/2009 08:36:33 PM 681 Views
No falsely... - 13/09/2009 11:25:40 PM 895 Views
That's pretty much my opinion in a nutshell - 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 - 14/09/2009 04:41:58 PM 652 Views
They correlate on some critical points - 14/09/2009 06:57:43 PM 730 Views
That's not exactly what I'm referring to. - 15/09/2009 04:36:29 PM 600 Views
But then we are discussing the same thing - 15/09/2009 06:59:04 PM 742 Views
I think, outside of semantics, our main disagreement doesn't lie amid the higher tiers - 16/09/2009 03:53:09 PM 615 Views

Re: Ahh the old debate... - 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 - 14/09/2009 04:28:12 PM 693 Views
I do think Ishamel is special - 14/09/2009 07:04:03 PM 786 Views
He's special the same way any individual is special. - 14/09/2009 11:36:42 PM 739 Views

The more interesting question is... - 14/09/2009 06:34:11 PM 650 Views
Hmmm - 14/09/2009 07:04:34 PM 670 Views
I think we'll see Graendal vs. Aran'gar. - 14/09/2009 07:31:16 PM 744 Views
Ah yes, that makes sense, and would be great! *NM* - 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! - 14/09/2009 07:50:09 PM 631 Views
They do imply that Graendal is a lot more dangerous than she looks - 14/09/2009 09:08:43 PM 661 Views
I've never underestimated Graendal - 14/09/2009 09:42:49 PM 694 Views
Yeah... her frivolity was always a red flag for me too. - 14/09/2009 10:18:40 PM 695 Views
To me, she is the most lethal. - 15/09/2009 05:18:10 PM 523 Views
Yup... - 15/09/2009 06:39:20 PM 570 Views
I still like Lanfear more - 15/09/2009 06:51:03 PM 648 Views
Bah! She's an idiot! - 15/09/2009 07:06:06 PM 664 Views
only in love *NM* - 15/09/2009 07:23:29 PM 641 Views
Graendal did not beat me and Moghedien - 15/09/2009 05:59:39 PM 732 Views
Agreed - 15/09/2009 06:36:48 PM 648 Views
Ummm... how do we know? - 15/09/2009 06:40:57 PM 792 Views
