Using Compulsion on someone doesn't seem mechanically different beetnemesis Send a noteboard - 14/09/2009 09:03:41 PM
Than any other weave that's directly used on a person (as opposed to say, a fireball).

Meaning, that there will be a weave, and it's coming towards you, and you have to either block it, divert it, or deal with it in some other way.


This is true of many weaves- Shielding, definitely, and I'm sure some others. Evidence: Moggy tries to attack Nyn with Compulsion at the showdown in Tanchino, and Nyn manages to slice the weave just in time. Something similar happened when Liandrin attacked Moggy with her cobbled-together Compulsion.



So being amazing at Compulsion won't give you an edge- you still have to hit the person with the weave, and that's true of nearly all of the duel-ending weaves.
I amuse myself.

Fact is, the bwb is untrustworthy Shannow - 13/09/2009 05:54:28 PM 980 Views
We must either use all the quotes from the BWB or none of them Sidious - 13/09/2009 06:07:46 PM 1013 Views
Or... Shannow - 13/09/2009 08:41:23 PM 961 Views

It all depends on how you define "powerful" Lanfear - 14/09/2009 02:30:31 AM 1030 Views
I agree 101%. *NM* Yvves - 14/09/2009 03:49:51 AM 518 Views
I think power is much more than raw strength Sidious - 14/09/2009 05:00:10 AM 939 Views
I agree for the most part, but disagree on one thing. Lanfear - 14/09/2009 07:52:10 PM 1099 Views

So is graendal similar to lanfear then? Shannow - 13/09/2009 05:41:42 PM 895 Views
Graendal could fight Lanfear and win Sidious - 13/09/2009 06:01:57 PM 1480 Views

Lanfear was more powerful than Graendal, but Cyndane has less power beetnemesis - 13/09/2009 10:19:35 PM 925 Views

I agree with this Sidious - 13/09/2009 06:15:24 PM 1077 Views
Compulsion=any other deadly weave. Doesn't really change matters beetnemesis - 13/09/2009 10:23:40 PM 953 Views
Excellent point *NM* Shannow - 13/09/2009 10:35:08 PM 528 Views
But it did give her an edge, and against two forsaken. *NM* fionwe1987 - 13/09/2009 11:12:09 PM 494 Views
Hm? When? *NM* beetnemesis - 14/09/2009 09:04:10 PM 432 Views
tPoD, when she compelled Cyndane and Moghedien. *NM* fionwe1987 - 14/09/2009 10:19:23 PM 470 Views

Re: So is graendal similar to lanfear then? RugbyPlayingAshaman - 14/09/2009 04:34:24 PM 885 Views
But Graendal confronted her... twice! *NM* fionwe1987 - 13/09/2009 07:48:29 PM 445 Views
Apparently only the third time counts *NM* Sidious - 13/09/2009 08:00:37 PM 486 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 509 Views
Really? Shannow - 13/09/2009 08:36:33 PM 923 Views
No falsely... fionwe1987 - 13/09/2009 11:25:40 PM 1145 Views
That's pretty much my opinion in a nutshell Sidious - 14/09/2009 04:56:15 AM 1103 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 861 Views
They correlate on some critical points Sidious - 14/09/2009 06:57:43 PM 1062 Views
That's not exactly what I'm referring to. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 15/09/2009 04:36:29 PM 814 Views
But then we are discussing the same thing Sidious - 15/09/2009 06:59:04 PM 948 Views
I think, outside of semantics, our main disagreement doesn't lie amid the higher tiers RugbyPlayingAshaman - 16/09/2009 03:53:09 PM 823 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 954 Views
