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 1849 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 1097 Views
yes, the Amyrlin story line could have been wrapped up much earlier! darius_sedai - 07/01/2010 09:55:30 PM 1227 Views
Yeah, I really wish his vision had been pushed. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 07/01/2010 10:16:15 PM 1018 Views

Thanks for pointing to that Taim incident... its another proof... fionwe1987 - 07/01/2010 04:15:33 PM 1169 Views
I always like to think that Egwene, Elayne and Aviendha Linked can match Rand. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 07/01/2010 05:26:35 PM 1095 Views

I'm not too impressed with the Forsaken so far. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 08/01/2010 03:30:43 PM 991 Views
I'm tempted to go with Taim too, but... fionwe1987 - 08/01/2010 04:25:52 PM 1058 Views
If Elayne had wanted Taim dead, he and his minions would have been dead darius_sedai - 08/01/2010 05:41:29 PM 1142 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 1095 Views
But... fionwe1987 - 08/01/2010 08:53:11 PM 1273 Views

I think he is illogical towards all danger, regardless of gender. amirebram - 07/01/2010 06:39:37 PM 1026 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
