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 1030 Views
We must either use all the quotes from the BWB or none of them Sidious - 13/09/2009 06:07:46 PM 1065 Views
Or... Shannow - 13/09/2009 08:41:23 PM 1005 Views

It all depends on how you define "powerful" Lanfear - 14/09/2009 02:30:31 AM 1085 Views
I agree 101%. *NM* Yvves - 14/09/2009 03:49:51 AM 539 Views
I think power is much more than raw strength Sidious - 14/09/2009 05:00:10 AM 992 Views
I agree for the most part, but disagree on one thing. Lanfear - 14/09/2009 07:52:10 PM 1158 Views

So is graendal similar to lanfear then? Shannow - 13/09/2009 05:41:42 PM 950 Views
Graendal could fight Lanfear and win Sidious - 13/09/2009 06:01:57 PM 1517 Views

Lanfear was more powerful than Graendal, but Cyndane has less power beetnemesis - 13/09/2009 10:19:35 PM 967 Views

I agree with this Sidious - 13/09/2009 06:15:24 PM 1120 Views
Compulsion=any other deadly weave. Doesn't really change matters beetnemesis - 13/09/2009 10:23:40 PM 1004 Views
Excellent point *NM* Shannow - 13/09/2009 10:35:08 PM 551 Views
But it did give her an edge, and against two forsaken. *NM* fionwe1987 - 13/09/2009 11:12:09 PM 516 Views
Hm? When? *NM* beetnemesis - 14/09/2009 09:04:10 PM 456 Views
tPoD, when she compelled Cyndane and Moghedien. *NM* fionwe1987 - 14/09/2009 10:19:23 PM 496 Views

But Graendal confronted her... twice! *NM* fionwe1987 - 13/09/2009 07:48:29 PM 467 Views
Apparently only the third time counts *NM* Sidious - 13/09/2009 08:00:37 PM 515 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 530 Views
Really? Shannow - 13/09/2009 08:36:33 PM 977 Views
No falsely... fionwe1987 - 13/09/2009 11:25:40 PM 1193 Views
That's pretty much my opinion in a nutshell Sidious - 14/09/2009 04:56:15 AM 1152 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 915 Views
They correlate on some critical points Sidious - 14/09/2009 06:57:43 PM 1115 Views
That's not exactly what I'm referring to. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 15/09/2009 04:36:29 PM 874 Views
But then we are discussing the same thing Sidious - 15/09/2009 06:59:04 PM 1003 Views
I think, outside of semantics, our main disagreement doesn't lie amid the higher tiers RugbyPlayingAshaman - 16/09/2009 03:53:09 PM 875 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 1010 Views
