Elminster vs Karsus, Darth Vader vs Darth Revan, Demandred vs Sammael - who has more midichloriants. Shannow Send a noteboard - 25/04/2012 03:13:17 PM
I share Sidous's unease with the casual disregard he displays to something like channeler strength, the identificaiton of individual angreal etc.


I'm curious about why people find relative strengths in the One Power to be so interesting. Being a physicist of the theoretical orientation, I absolutely agree that it can be interesting to study something with little or no practical application, but I've never had that much interest in strength. I'll happily discuss other aspects of the One Power, though, such as <a href="http://www.readandfindout.com/wheeloftime/messageboard/243534/">how Traveling became a lost Talent</a>. If anyone can shed some light on why they are interested in One Power strength, I'd be happy to read it.


That's the kind of the stuff I find absolutely facinating.

Was Darth Revan more powerful than Darth Sidious? How does Darth Bane compare to Darth Vader?

Who is the most powerful mage in the Forgotten Realms? Is it Elminster, Karsus of Netheril, Khelben Blackstaff?

How does Demandred compare to Sammael?

What is the total potential size of the North's armies vs that of the Lannisters or Dorne?

How many ships can the Manderly's support vs the city of Braavos?

How much more gold does Tywin Lannister have than House Stark?

I just find the ability to rank competitors in a hierarchical and proportionate order incredibly interesting.
