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 942 Views

But, RJ himself said that the BWB was written from the standpoint of a scholar RugbyPlayingAshaman - 14/09/2009 04:42:59 PM 945 Views

It all depends on how you define "powerful" Lanfear - 14/09/2009 02:30:31 AM 988 Views
I agree 101%. *NM* Yvves - 14/09/2009 03:49:51 AM 498 Views
I think power is much more than raw strength Sidious - 14/09/2009 05:00:10 AM 898 Views
I agree for the most part, but disagree on one thing. Lanfear - 14/09/2009 07:52:10 PM 1051 Views

So is graendal similar to lanfear then? Shannow - 13/09/2009 05:41:42 PM 861 Views
Graendal could fight Lanfear and win Sidious - 13/09/2009 06:01:57 PM 1432 Views

Lanfear was more powerful than Graendal, but Cyndane has less power beetnemesis - 13/09/2009 10:19:35 PM 890 Views

I agree with this Sidious - 13/09/2009 06:15:24 PM 1035 Views
Compulsion=any other deadly weave. Doesn't really change matters beetnemesis - 13/09/2009 10:23:40 PM 912 Views
Excellent point *NM* Shannow - 13/09/2009 10:35:08 PM 511 Views
But it did give her an edge, and against two forsaken. *NM* fionwe1987 - 13/09/2009 11:12:09 PM 481 Views
Hm? When? *NM* beetnemesis - 14/09/2009 09:04:10 PM 414 Views
tPoD, when she compelled Cyndane and Moghedien. *NM* fionwe1987 - 14/09/2009 10:19:23 PM 457 Views
Not at all Sidious - 14/09/2009 04:51:48 AM 957 Views
Using Compulsion on someone doesn't seem mechanically different beetnemesis - 14/09/2009 09:03:41 PM 812 Views
I'm not so sure about that Sidious - 14/09/2009 09:36:45 PM 891 Views
Totally agree Shannow - 14/09/2009 10:26:07 PM 735 Views
I don't agree. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 15/09/2009 04:33:04 PM 1012 Views
Re: So is graendal similar to lanfear then? RugbyPlayingAshaman - 14/09/2009 04:34:24 PM 854 Views
But Graendal confronted her... twice! *NM* fionwe1987 - 13/09/2009 07:48:29 PM 428 Views
Apparently only the third time counts *NM* Sidious - 13/09/2009 08:00:37 PM 469 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 493 Views
Really? Shannow - 13/09/2009 08:36:33 PM 876 Views
No falsely... fionwe1987 - 13/09/2009 11:25:40 PM 1102 Views
That's pretty much my opinion in a nutshell Sidious - 14/09/2009 04:56:15 AM 1057 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 821 Views
They correlate on some critical points Sidious - 14/09/2009 06:57:43 PM 1007 Views
That's not exactly what I'm referring to. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 15/09/2009 04:36:29 PM 773 Views
But then we are discussing the same thing Sidious - 15/09/2009 06:59:04 PM 912 Views
I think, outside of semantics, our main disagreement doesn't lie amid the higher tiers RugbyPlayingAshaman - 16/09/2009 03:53:09 PM 775 Views

Re: Ahh the old debate... Sidious - 17/09/2009 05:26:52 AM 827 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 897 Views
I do think Ishamel is special Sidious - 14/09/2009 07:04:03 PM 989 Views

I think we'll see Graendal vs. Aran'gar. fionwe1987 - 14/09/2009 07:31:16 PM 928 Views
Ah yes, that makes sense, and would be great! *NM* Sidious - 14/09/2009 07:40:29 PM 747 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 807 Views
They do imply that Graendal is a lot more dangerous than she looks beetnemesis - 14/09/2009 09:08:43 PM 842 Views
I've never underestimated Graendal Sidious - 14/09/2009 09:42:49 PM 890 Views
Yeah... her frivolity was always a red flag for me too. fionwe1987 - 14/09/2009 10:18:40 PM 921 Views
To me, she is the most lethal. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 15/09/2009 05:18:10 PM 683 Views
Yup... fionwe1987 - 15/09/2009 06:39:20 PM 735 Views
I still like Lanfear more Sidious - 15/09/2009 06:51:03 PM 829 Views
Bah! She's an idiot! fionwe1987 - 15/09/2009 07:06:06 PM 829 Views
only in love *NM* Sidious - 15/09/2009 07:23:29 PM 789 Views
Graendal did not beat me and Moghedien Lanfear - 15/09/2009 05:59:39 PM 920 Views
Agreed Sidious - 15/09/2009 06:36:48 PM 813 Views
