They would be far more than 3 average AS darius_sedai Send a noteboard - 17/06/2010 08:07:30 PM
Those 3 are all above (far above) an average Aes Sedai in strength. It's hard to know the outcome.


Since each is about 2x a strong AS those 3 logically would be more like 8 or 9 Average AS (say Verin level). So yeah it seems more than likely they could smother Rand combined.

No three women could block him from the Source... Logain - 15/06/2010 06:52:17 PM 2054 Views
I think that is total BS, since the books have proved otherwise more than once... fionwe1987 - 15/06/2010 07:22:16 PM 1133 Views
I think he means that it would take three such women to smother him Sidious - 15/06/2010 07:45:03 PM 1204 Views
Ahhh... I can kind of agree with that... fionwe1987 - 15/06/2010 08:05:46 PM 1273 Views
Yes, that is what he meant. Another interesting twist... Logain - 16/06/2010 01:34:18 AM 1239 Views
Agreed. Good analysis. Shannow - 16/06/2010 07:48:36 AM 1215 Views

No, this is before. fionwe1987 - 15/06/2010 08:49:13 PM 1059 Views
Well that's a different quote from the one you used before, and this one shows Lanfear not succeedin Shannow - 15/06/2010 08:52:00 PM 1064 Views
I never used a quote before. And there's no quote where Lanfear's shield is not succeeding. fionwe1987 - 15/06/2010 08:52:28 PM 936 Views
Simple answer to settle it: Shannow - 15/06/2010 09:00:22 PM 950 Views
So Talaan is God? fionwe1987 - 15/06/2010 09:04:44 PM 1123 Views
It Rand had half Lews Therin's skill at the time, she would stand no chance..SKILL was her advantage Shannow - 15/06/2010 09:08:41 PM 1058 Views
Skill has nothing to do with how strong a person is. fionwe1987 - 15/06/2010 09:11:13 PM 1042 Views
So? Sidious - 15/06/2010 09:15:01 PM 1032 Views
Nope, YOU said he was talking about smothering him, whatever that's supposed to mean... Shannow - 15/06/2010 09:26:53 PM 997 Views
Oh My God! That's such utter tripe... EDIT... fionwe1987 - 15/06/2010 09:30:29 PM 1083 Views
That's exactly how I understood you. Skeeve the Great - 15/06/2010 09:30:42 PM 926 Views
You do know that this was AFTER Lanfear had picked up the bracelet angreal, right? Shannow - 15/06/2010 08:49:47 PM 1041 Views
It was before... both of them start using an angreal after this. fionwe1987 - 15/06/2010 08:52:02 PM 959 Views
Nope. 6 Aes Sedai couldn't take Raolain Darksbane or Yurian Stonebow...Semirhage = 3 Aes Sedai Shannow - 15/06/2010 08:26:21 PM 995 Views
Lanfear can do it alone Sidious - 15/06/2010 08:45:09 PM 1008 Views
She ATTEMPTS to cut him off, when he is not at full strength or full training yet... Shannow - 15/06/2010 08:55:39 PM 966 Views
Plus, Rand was splitting his flows, IIRC. Meaning he wasn't 100% one-on-one with her. Skeeve the Great - 15/06/2010 08:57:35 PM 1003 Views
She was splitting her flows too... she was slicing his weaves of Air. fionwe1987 - 15/06/2010 08:59:00 PM 1023 Views
Bah! fionwe1987 - 15/06/2010 08:58:26 PM 1005 Views
I repeat: You cannot shield someone unless you are significantly stronger than they are... Shannow - 15/06/2010 09:02:55 PM 944 Views
Explain Talaan shielding Nynaeve then. Or the two BA shielding her. fionwe1987 - 15/06/2010 09:05:21 PM 1930 Views
It becomes a battle of skill then... Shannow - 15/06/2010 09:09:42 PM 1115 Views
BUT... fionwe1987 - 15/06/2010 09:12:47 PM 1033 Views
Then by your own definition you do not have to be significantly stronger to shield someone darius_sedai - 15/06/2010 11:28:44 PM 993 Views
Re: "he would have had no need to cut her weaves" Skeeve the Great - 15/06/2010 09:03:39 PM 960 Views
No. There's a difference. fionwe1987 - 15/06/2010 09:07:09 PM 1143 Views
Oh come on... fionwe1987 - 15/06/2010 08:48:56 PM 1158 Views
I know you are not that ignorant... Shannow - 15/06/2010 09:07:02 PM 939 Views
But that isn't true... fionwe1987 - 15/06/2010 09:10:37 PM 989 Views
Let me spell it out for you... Shannow - 15/06/2010 09:18:04 PM 988 Views
Re: Let me spell it out for you... Sidious - 15/06/2010 09:21:02 PM 976 Views
Don't put words in my, or Lews Therin's, mouth... Shannow - 15/06/2010 09:33:50 PM 1129 Views
??? darius_sedai - 15/06/2010 10:43:28 PM 1136 Views
+1. It ridiculous comparison. Rand even didn't know how to shield a woman. Skeeve the Great - 15/06/2010 09:22:22 PM 993 Views
Now that's a ridiculous comparison Sidious - 15/06/2010 09:24:45 PM 1111 Views
Exactly! fionwe1987 - 15/06/2010 09:28:20 PM 1127 Views
Touchy point, heh? Skeeve the Great - 15/06/2010 09:28:47 PM 1061 Views
Then how come Lanfear never died? We know she made attempts to capture him. fionwe1987 - 15/06/2010 09:31:20 PM 1055 Views
Whom? LTT? Can you elaborate? Skeeve the Great - 15/06/2010 09:33:25 PM 1086 Views

So, if it doesn't agree with your view, its fuzzy, even when that is what the books say? *NM* fionwe1987 - 15/06/2010 10:42:48 PM 581 Views

Hehehe! Classic. Maybe his hands were full of her...err..Globes of Fire... Shannow - 15/06/2010 09:47:35 PM 948 Views
I cannot believe you're so obtuse... or then again, I can. fionwe1987 - 15/06/2010 09:26:04 PM 1080 Views
About how strong you have to be to shield someone... fionwe1987 - 15/06/2010 09:14:31 PM 815 Views

Bad analogy... fionwe1987 - 17/06/2010 04:23:31 AM 908 Views
Uh... Sidious - 17/06/2010 09:08:01 AM 946 Views
I disagree. LordPerrin - 16/06/2010 04:03:52 PM 1087 Views
That's wrong. Rand said 2 AS + Moghedien could threaten him Logain - 16/06/2010 05:17:33 PM 1064 Views
Huh. I forgot about that. LordPerrin - 17/06/2010 04:29:38 PM 1151 Views
go back a few posts... Kieran - 17/06/2010 03:41:42 AM 994 Views
yet Nynaeve and Talaan can shield one another darius_sedai - 17/06/2010 05:57:09 AM 991 Views
I'd like to think Egwene, Elayne and Aviendha could RugbyPlayingAshaman - 17/06/2010 04:19:22 PM 922 Views
Agreed darius_sedai - 17/06/2010 05:59:39 PM 819 Views
I don't think there's any theme Sidious - 17/06/2010 08:25:52 PM 1126 Views
I don't think they are meant to controll him in someway darius_sedai - 17/06/2010 10:21:09 PM 987 Views
They have a separate trinity. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 18/06/2010 06:51:27 PM 1004 Views
They might be able to, but then they are not 3 women of <b>average AS</b> strength Logain - 17/06/2010 07:10:14 PM 978 Views
They would be far more than 3 average AS darius_sedai - 17/06/2010 08:07:30 PM 993 Views
No, that's not right either. Lews Therin Telamon - 18/06/2010 12:37:37 AM 1030 Views
I disagree darius_sedai - 18/06/2010 06:07:10 AM 1126 Views
Another related quote Skeeve the Great - 18/06/2010 07:49:33 PM 976 Views
