I think this is probably close darius_sedai Send a noteboard - 07/01/2010 07:19:40 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).


It's even possible that 2 of them = Rand when linked and the 3 would overwhelm him. I think each girl is about 80% of Nynaeve/Lanfear/female max (assuming Nyn is like 97%).

Is Rand logical when he estimates female danger? Sidious - 07/01/2010 03:34:05 PM 1773 Views

Miscommunication seems to be a major theme of the series *NM* darius_sedai - 07/01/2010 07:17:16 PM 541 Views
As well as missed opportunities. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 07/01/2010 09:27:56 PM 1024 Views
yes, the Amyrlin story line could have been wrapped up much earlier! darius_sedai - 07/01/2010 09:55:30 PM 1154 Views

Thanks for pointing to that Taim incident... its another proof... fionwe1987 - 07/01/2010 04:15:33 PM 1108 Views
I always like to think that Egwene, Elayne and Aviendha Linked can match Rand. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 07/01/2010 05:26:35 PM 1021 Views

I'd actually go with Elayne in matters of battle. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 08/01/2010 02:47:34 PM 1048 Views

I'm not too impressed with the Forsaken so far. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 08/01/2010 03:30:43 PM 941 Views
I'm tempted to go with Taim too, but... fionwe1987 - 08/01/2010 04:25:52 PM 995 Views
If Elayne had wanted Taim dead, he and his minions would have been dead darius_sedai - 08/01/2010 05:41:29 PM 1071 Views
The reverse would be true too, though... fionwe1987 - 08/01/2010 05:50:02 PM 940 Views
But she just heard Taim say to basically stand down darius_sedai - 08/01/2010 06:05:43 PM 1031 Views

I think he is illogical towards all danger, regardless of gender. amirebram - 07/01/2010 06:39:37 PM 961 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 597 Views
