Easy question for you: Based on the evidence, what percentage of her strength was Nynaeve at in tSR? Shannow Send a noteboard - 13/12/2011 07:09:56 AM
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.



It all comes down to Nynaeve:

Based on all the evidence we have of female strength progresssion, all the quotes relating to Nynaeve's strength, all the supporting evidence: What percentage of her strength had she reached in tSR?

That's all you need to answer, and the rest is a matter of logical deduction.

Ignoring the Forsaken, all the evidence points to Nynaeve being far from her full strength back then.

If the only reason you place her higher is the need to bring Moghedien closer to the other Forsaken, then you aren't assessing Nynaeve's strength with an open mind.

Come on, be honest: Based on all the information we have on Nynaeve in the entire series, if you had to put your life on it, what percentage of her full strength would you estimate her to be at in Book 4?

That's all that matters.

Yes, you are probably correct Sidious - 12/12/2011 06:26:07 AM 1012 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 845 Views
I find that unlikely Sidious - 12/12/2011 09:28:07 PM 805 Views

Nah. Beyond the realm of possibility. Sorry, Shannow - 13/12/2011 05:12:40 PM 901 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 870 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 773 Views
But that is my point: it wouldn't be merely force of will. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 13/12/2011 09:40:17 PM 761 Views
What Rand is doing... fionwe1987 - 14/12/2011 03:43:08 AM 878 Views

Might assume that Elayne is stronger in the Power than Aviendha. echooff - 19/12/2011 02:40:46 PM 1044 Views

Nope...some maths problems in your post. Shannow - 19/12/2011 07:41:29 PM 800 Views
But 64 square feet is not Elayne's maximum... fionwe1987 - 20/12/2011 02:46:50 AM 756 Views
