I find that unlikely Sidious Send a noteboard - 12/12/2011 09:28:07 PM
I don't know where you get all your figures from. They seem to be completely random and pulled out of a hat and not at all verifiable.Why was Nynaeve two-thirds of her full strength in book 4 and not at 50% or 90%?

Moghedien is conceivably much weaker than the others because she states that others in the AOL considered her not to be a threat meaning that many tiers exist above her. She has also never been seen with the other Forsaken prior to Moridin appearing and providing her with protection as his slave. Considering outright murder is encouraged in the Shadow, it is illogical to think that anyone is much weaker in the remaining 12 Forsaken. Any of the Forsaken would instantly kill a weaker opponent and yet they cannot do so with each other and dare not risk it. It therefore makes sense to suggest that all of the Forsaken are clustered close to maximum strength. They are after all the strongest channelers in the world.

Yes, you are probably correct Sidious - 12/12/2011 06:26:07 AM 1178 Views
Re: and some of the information given to us is flawed Watcher - 12/12/2011 07:38:59 PM 961 Views
The real question is - What percentage of her full strength did Nynaeve achieve by Book 4? Shannow - 12/12/2011 08:31:30 PM 994 Views

Easy question for you: Based on the evidence, what percentage of her strength was Nynaeve at in tSR? Shannow - 13/12/2011 07:09:56 AM 1005 Views
Well.... Sidious - 13/12/2011 01:12:48 PM 1010 Views

Alivia may not even be stronger than Nynaeve... fionwe1987 - 14/12/2011 03:14:06 AM 1054 Views
That wouldn't surprise me actually *NM* Sidious - 14/12/2011 07:46:47 AM 524 Views
Where would you place Egwene though? fionwe1987 - 14/12/2011 09:13:46 AM 942 Views

Yes! And...? fionwe1987 - 15/12/2011 02:53:37 AM 945 Views
Yes I would agree with that Sidious - 14/12/2011 08:24:35 PM 1099 Views

Because a difference of a few % is negligible, and not even worth mentioning... Shannow - 17/12/2011 10:54:49 AM 917 Views
How could you possibly use Gateways... fionwe1987 - 17/12/2011 12:40:03 PM 889 Views

I think it was just Aes Sedai hyperbole RugbyPlayingAshaman - 15/12/2011 09:51:00 PM 807 Views
And entirely based off your shared assumption. Fanatic-Templar - 14/12/2011 05:15:51 AM 1031 Views
Actually that's a lot of logical assumption. *NM* LadyLorraine - 13/12/2011 01:28:00 PM 466 Views

Nah. Beyond the realm of possibility. Sorry, Shannow - 13/12/2011 05:12:40 PM 1049 Views
There are a number of comments from Q&As that shows that this is possible and more complex. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 13/12/2011 08:23:49 PM 1019 Views
None of which I disagree with, but a far cry from women being weaker just due to believing it... Shannow - 13/12/2011 08:39:40 PM 951 Views
But that is my point: it wouldn't be merely force of will. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 13/12/2011 09:40:17 PM 912 Views
What Rand is doing... fionwe1987 - 14/12/2011 03:43:08 AM 1037 Views
That would make sense given Min's vision RugbyPlayingAshaman - 16/12/2011 04:37:56 PM 856 Views

Might assume that Elayne is stronger in the Power than Aviendha. echooff - 19/12/2011 02:40:46 PM 1215 Views
I suspect he knows that... fionwe1987 - 19/12/2011 05:53:00 PM 912 Views
Nope...some maths problems in your post. Shannow - 19/12/2011 07:41:29 PM 947 Views
But 64 square feet is not Elayne's maximum... fionwe1987 - 20/12/2011 02:46:50 AM 912 Views
But Shielding is also relative. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 27/12/2011 09:35:11 PM 2175 Views
