I always like to think that Egwene, Elayne and Aviendha Linked can match Rand. RugbyPlayingAshaman Send a noteboard - 07/01/2010 05:26:35 PM
And that only two of them Linked would be needed to match Nynaeve.

But I never truly relied on the numbers for anything other than illustrative purposes when ranking channelers so to me it works thematically. I actually think it rather elegantly would illustrate what RJ was saying about males having additional capacity over women for the Power: Three women of Egwene, Elayne and Aviendha can match the strongest male, while two women from that group could match Lanfear (Aviendha wasn't at full strength when they fought her, and due to the POV we don't know if they were Linked).

Is Rand logical when he estimates female danger? Sidious - 07/01/2010 03:34:05 PM 1850 Views
Basically you have to be ready for anything! darius_sedai - 07/01/2010 03:45:31 PM 1145 Views

Miscommunication seems to be a major theme of the series *NM* darius_sedai - 07/01/2010 07:17:16 PM 592 Views
As well as missed opportunities. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 07/01/2010 09:27:56 PM 1099 Views
yes, the Amyrlin story line could have been wrapped up much earlier! darius_sedai - 07/01/2010 09:55:30 PM 1229 Views
Yeah, I really wish his vision had been pushed. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 07/01/2010 10:16:15 PM 1018 Views

For a major theme, it sure is surprising Wotmaniac Reborn - 08/01/2010 04:10:22 AM 1078 Views

I don't think they were that bad back then, but still... fionwe1987 - 07/01/2010 10:11:46 PM 1092 Views
and he's gone out of his way IMO to show that it's a stupid darius_sedai - 07/01/2010 10:41:03 PM 1159 Views

I'd actually go with Elayne in matters of battle. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 08/01/2010 02:47:34 PM 1127 Views
Wow, I wasn't expecting that Sidious - 08/01/2010 02:55:53 PM 1189 Views
I'm not too impressed with the Forsaken so far. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 08/01/2010 03:30:43 PM 993 Views
I'm tempted to go with Taim too, but... fionwe1987 - 08/01/2010 04:25:52 PM 1060 Views
If Elayne had wanted Taim dead, he and his minions would have been dead darius_sedai - 08/01/2010 05:41:29 PM 1143 Views
The reverse would be true too, though... fionwe1987 - 08/01/2010 05:50:02 PM 1000 Views
But she just heard Taim say to basically stand down darius_sedai - 08/01/2010 06:05:43 PM 1096 Views
But... fionwe1987 - 08/01/2010 08:53:11 PM 1273 Views
Ah but Elayne also knew they knew Rand wouldn't allow it darius_sedai - 08/01/2010 10:40:45 PM 1126 Views
That whole lack of communication thing made my eye twitch. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 08/01/2010 11:00:25 PM 1146 Views

I think he is illogical towards all danger, regardless of gender. amirebram - 07/01/2010 06:39:37 PM 1028 Views
Do fat kids run marathons? No. And no Rand isn't logical when he estimates female danger. *NM* callandor1000 - 07/01/2010 06:44:08 PM 641 Views
It's all kind of irrelevant. Cannoli - 08/01/2010 11:28:46 PM 1312 Views
