Re: Thanks to Sanderson, we now have a DEFINITIVE female Forsaken strength list... Tedtheman Send a noteboard - 18/11/2009 06:22:50 PM
This is pretty nice to see. I'm hoping someone gets a chance to ask him about the Super Dexterity (spelling?) aspect that Asmodean alludes to when Rand stops the gateway from closing. If this still plays a role.

It was what I was going to ask at the NYC signing but I had unfortunate events delay me the night of.

Thanks to Sanderson, we now have a DEFINITIVE female Forsaken strength list... Shannow - 18/11/2009 05:56:58 PM 2393 Views
Sounds good Etzel - 18/11/2009 06:08:15 PM 1242 Views

Re: Someryn Logain - 18/11/2009 06:20:44 PM 1342 Views
I acknowledge that possibility... Shannow - 18/11/2009 06:24:30 PM 1198 Views
Someryn implies that Graendal is stronger. Rurouni_Kenshin - 19/11/2009 01:51:31 PM 1300 Views
Excellent point...I'd forgotten about that... Shannow - 19/11/2009 02:00:30 PM 1210 Views
As I understand it... Etzel - 18/11/2009 06:23:26 PM 1300 Views
My view is that the new list is just a revised one, after RJ changed his mind on some things... Shannow - 18/11/2009 06:28:53 PM 1361 Views
Agreed. fionwe1987 - 18/11/2009 06:31:22 PM 1168 Views
I suppose that's possible. *NM* Etzel - 18/11/2009 06:31:42 PM 972 Views
I agree with this interpretation on the new vs. old list kcf - 18/11/2009 07:13:02 PM 1248 Views
Re: Sounds good kcf - 18/11/2009 07:11:17 PM 1133 Views
Did it sound like Sanderson knew the names of all 6 women above Nynaeve? Shannow - 18/11/2009 07:12:57 PM 1264 Views

Re: Also, a couple more questions, if I may... kcf - 18/11/2009 07:23:45 PM 1191 Views
But you said that you asked him whether Cyndane was one of the 6, and he said no. Shannow - 18/11/2009 07:26:17 PM 1219 Views
Re: But you said that you asked him whether Cyndane was one of the 6, and he said no. kcf - 18/11/2009 07:31:35 PM 1195 Views
That blows a heck of a lot of this theory out of the water... Shannow - 18/11/2009 07:33:39 PM 1212 Views
it's possible, but I'd say unlikely kcf - 18/11/2009 07:34:32 PM 1212 Views
One problem... Rand al'Thor - 18/11/2009 06:10:06 PM 1340 Views
No... Shannow - 18/11/2009 06:14:48 PM 1239 Views
That's not a problem. Rand al'Thor - 18/11/2009 06:31:37 PM 1199 Views
Why on earth would there be multiple restrictions on Cyndane's strength? Shannow - 18/11/2009 06:47:56 PM 1104 Views
Sorry buddy Rand al'Thor - 18/11/2009 07:36:00 PM 1199 Views
Re: Sorry buddy rhiane - 18/11/2009 09:49:01 PM 1152 Views
Are you able to give any more detail on Sanderson's answer to your Cyndane question? Shannow - 18/11/2009 10:02:17 PM 1192 Views
But Nynaeve and Mogheiden were of equal strength beetnemesis - 18/11/2009 06:15:52 PM 1374 Views
Nynaeve matched Moghedien when Nynaeve was not close to her full potential yet... Shannow - 18/11/2009 06:19:07 PM 1440 Views
I agree...and I have a question regarding Moghedien. Logain - 18/11/2009 06:30:07 PM 1241 Views
Cyndane has to be above Graendal. *NM* fionwe1987 - 18/11/2009 06:33:16 PM 664 Views
You're right. I'll post new list below. *NM* Logain - 18/11/2009 06:39:36 PM 676 Views
Was she? Nyn was mid20s and a wilder, I thought she had reached full strength beetnemesis - 18/11/2009 08:00:24 PM 1274 Views
As late as CoS, Nynaeve states that she is not close to her full potential yet. *NM* Shannow - 18/11/2009 08:04:47 PM 683 Views
She really hasn't had that much time channelling though. Wotmaniac Reborn - 18/11/2009 08:07:31 PM 922 Views
Wilders rarely reach their full potential if they're blocked. *NM* fionwe1987 - 18/11/2009 08:43:30 PM 718 Views
I know the Cleansing forced her a bit. Gher - 18/11/2009 08:44:59 PM 1210 Views
That's been said before- anyone know where it says that in the text? beetnemesis - 19/11/2009 05:53:50 AM 991 Views
Re: Nynaeve matched Moghedien when Nynaeve was not close to her full potential yet... The_Archer - 10/12/2010 08:07:05 PM 1232 Views
Re: Thanks to Sanderson, we now have a DEFINITIVE female Forsaken strength list... Tedtheman - 18/11/2009 06:22:50 PM 1082 Views
More or less agreed. I was right about Nynaeve! fionwe1987 - 18/11/2009 06:29:27 PM 1149 Views
IMO... Etzel - 18/11/2009 06:37:19 PM 1250 Views
I don't know... fionwe1987 - 18/11/2009 06:56:10 PM 1136 Views
I still think Alivia is below Lanfear's strength level... Shannow - 18/11/2009 06:59:01 PM 1458 Views
That just doesn't make sense... fionwe1987 - 18/11/2009 07:02:17 PM 1241 Views
I agree that Lanfear and Alivia are tied. *NM* Logain - 18/11/2009 07:06:19 PM 691 Views
All of my instincts indeed argue that 4 of the Forsaken CANNOT be below Nynaeve, but... Shannow - 18/11/2009 07:06:25 PM 1092 Views
But why doesn't it make sense? fionwe1987 - 18/11/2009 08:47:42 PM 989 Views
Talaan, Alivia and Sharina reduced my estimation of Nynaeve dramatically... Shannow - 18/11/2009 08:54:29 PM 1197 Views
All this can be explained by the fact that Nynaeve was yet to reach her potential. fionwe1987 - 18/11/2009 09:25:41 PM 1176 Views
I don't think... Etzel - 18/11/2009 07:08:09 PM 1311 Views
Damane never recieve special status... fionwe1987 - 18/11/2009 08:52:32 PM 1139 Views
Good point... Shannow - 18/11/2009 09:00:51 PM 1154 Views
Thing is... fionwe1987 - 18/11/2009 09:10:45 PM 1194 Views
Lanfear cannot even defeat Rand. Nynaeve wouldn't last a minute against him. Shannow - 18/11/2009 09:13:06 PM 1239 Views
And Rand couldn't defeat Lanfear. What's your point? fionwe1987 - 18/11/2009 09:26:06 PM 984 Views
He could. RJ stated it in a Q&A. Rand just couldn't bring himself to do it... Shannow - 18/11/2009 09:45:18 PM 976 Views
But so could Lanfear, and both had angreal, confusing the situation considerably. fionwe1987 - 18/11/2009 09:47:25 PM 1035 Views
My point was... Etzel - 18/11/2009 09:05:28 PM 1177 Views
I agree *NM* Shannow - 18/11/2009 09:10:46 PM 656 Views
If Tuon had the strongest... fionwe1987 - 18/11/2009 09:12:22 PM 1105 Views
Sera must be stronger... Etzel - 18/11/2009 09:25:00 PM 1120 Views
There's no reason to be certain about it... fionwe1987 - 18/11/2009 09:28:26 PM 1158 Views
Well, the Bloodknives are precisely Tuon's tools Etzel - 18/11/2009 09:32:46 PM 1097 Views
There are SIX women stronger than Nynaeve, and at least five are accounted for... fionwe1987 - 18/11/2009 09:46:28 PM 1173 Views
There are six stronger women named on the list Etzel - 19/11/2009 11:40:52 AM 1182 Views
I'm not ignoring Sera! fionwe1987 - 19/11/2009 06:13:43 PM 1029 Views
You misunderstand me... Etzel - 19/11/2009 06:16:31 PM 1091 Views
I doesn't make "sense". Let's leave it... fionwe1987 - 19/11/2009 06:19:52 PM 1081 Views
There are SIX women stronger than Nynaeve, and at least five are accounted for... fionwe1987 - 18/11/2009 09:46:29 PM 1244 Views
But Alivia (while strong in the OP) is an old fraile lady on her deathbed. *NM* Logain - 18/11/2009 09:41:33 PM 729 Views
Pardon? Don't understand this really. *NM* Etzel - 19/11/2009 11:45:21 AM 527 Views
You keep saying Alivia was "a common damane" darius_sedai - 28/11/2009 08:58:42 PM 950 Views
You were right about Nynaeve, I was right about Graendal! Well done! Shannow - 18/11/2009 06:37:42 PM 1246 Views
Yes. This is one WoT debate coming to a close... fionwe1987 - 18/11/2009 06:54:06 PM 1008 Views
I have one problem with your list. Kaldric - 18/11/2009 06:36:02 PM 1197 Views
RJ said the Forsaken ALWAYS overrate themselves... Shannow - 18/11/2009 06:54:45 PM 1058 Views
I totally agree. Mesaana is weaker than Semirhage. This was also confirmed by BS *NM* Logain - 18/11/2009 06:56:30 PM 643 Views
Mesaana is cold and calculating. Kaldric - 18/11/2009 07:03:49 PM 1138 Views
I'm sorry, but I find it mindblowing that you find this mindblowing. TaskmasterJack - 18/11/2009 06:36:37 PM 1152 Views
Some of us have been debating this for 5 years on Wotmania... Shannow - 18/11/2009 06:57:08 PM 1202 Views
I think it goes like this: Logain - 18/11/2009 06:53:07 PM 1176 Views
There is a side effect to all of this rearrangement...we may have to rethink the wonder girls. Logain - 18/11/2009 07:04:17 PM 1200 Views
We'll have to re-read the sections where Moghedien is captured. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 18/11/2009 07:08:07 PM 1120 Views
Damn. That's a thought I definitely DON'T relish. Thankfully... Shannow - 18/11/2009 07:09:18 PM 1145 Views
Helpless at her strength at the time, or helpless at Egwene's full potential? *NM* Logain - 18/11/2009 07:26:15 PM 645 Views
Egwene was forced, so she was already at her full potential when she made this comment. *NM* Shannow - 18/11/2009 07:45:08 PM 644 Views
I admit she was forced, but how does that guarantee she was at full strength? *NM* Logain - 18/11/2009 08:06:40 PM 650 Views
I'm 90% sure it is stated somewhere... *NM* Shannow - 18/11/2009 08:10:03 PM 657 Views
Egwene was at her full strength. Elayne comments on this in The Shadow Rising IIRC. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 18/11/2009 08:34:37 PM 1205 Views
She only says that Egwene is stronger and had been forced darius_sedai - 29/11/2009 01:54:56 AM 1169 Views
Where does she say this? fionwe1987 - 18/11/2009 08:54:39 PM 1154 Views
No, she explicitly refers to herself vs Moghedien... Shannow - 18/11/2009 09:01:53 PM 1150 Views
Here are the quotes... fionwe1987 - 18/11/2009 09:24:24 PM 1186 Views
Oh come on. You're totally twisting that passage to suit your argument... Shannow - 18/11/2009 09:54:56 PM 1061 Views
I could say the same... fionwe1987 - 18/11/2009 10:50:44 PM 1075 Views
So let me get this straight... Shannow - 19/11/2009 06:44:03 AM 1104 Views
No... fionwe1987 - 19/11/2009 07:37:29 AM 1145 Views
Look at it this way... Shannow - 19/11/2009 10:23:06 AM 1117 Views
Dude, there were other quotes... fionwe1987 - 19/11/2009 06:15:32 PM 1021 Views
What about Sammael? The debate about Sammael and Rahvin has been decided now too. Logain - 18/11/2009 08:03:35 PM 1206 Views

Disagree... Shannow - 18/11/2009 09:09:45 PM 1180 Views
Disagree back... for the last time though... fionwe1987 - 18/11/2009 09:39:25 PM 1052 Views

If Rahvin were stronger... fionwe1987 - 18/11/2009 08:59:32 PM 1058 Views
Graendal could not face down Rand. And if she thinks she can it is b/c she has an angreal. *NM* Logain - 18/11/2009 09:49:00 PM 609 Views
But Rand did not know of her angreal. *NM* fionwe1987 - 19/11/2009 12:03:21 AM 617 Views
Rand knows he can beat Graendal in a heads-up-duel. Graendal knows she would lose. *NM* Logain - 28/11/2009 10:07:27 PM 645 Views
