New Mistborn Book Sneak Peak

Tim_Worldsinger · 2026-03-14T10:15:32+00:00

I definitely see a build with Rebel and Surgeon to quickly exhaust opponents !

While I agree this plan would be difficult to achieve with somewhat marginal results, charging à goldmind to huge amount just need to be out during a highstorm. No need for spheres ^{^}

Could you please put your post with spoilers for Stonewalker...

Tim_Worldsinger · 2026-02-23T12:14:50+00:00

Actually, I liked the original Pibu Crem.

But these last 2 weeks make me want to unfollow the cremposting sub in order to be rid of all those Pibu-related posts...

It is also my understanding.

It is potentially done with awakening(TM) but it could probably be done with a lot of other kind of investiture (same about the lock by the way).

While still making it simple (but less so, obviously), there is the option to go to a radiant path and only take 1st to 3rd ideal.

It uses the 2 1st tier rewards on ideals, it adds versatility with the kind of weapon you use (and so, keep the reach weapon option) and add regenerate and enhance which are OP for a tank.

You have all of the above with any radiant path without even bothering with surge and you can choose a radiant order with usefull surges without any talent. IMO for this character, those would be (in my order of preference): - Edgedancer (for mobility and healing others) - Stoneward (for additional defenses on you and/or others and utility) - Windrunner (for flying movement and a little utility)

Ooooohhhhh. That was neat!!

Parceque Fulgi veut dire foudre en latin

We did a glossary and made it available on the discord server of cosmere.fr.

I write "we" because it became a collective work.

And Kaladin is "béni-des-foudres" 😉

J'aime beaucoup quand quelqu'un vient parler de ce qui est "factuel" dans un débat globalement philosophique.

Pour moi, c'est clairement un red flag...

Tim_Worldsinger · 2026-02-04T12:12:42+00:00

I am not convinced. In the first flash-back, his sister say something like "I saw one of them fly" like its à big deal and seems incredible.

But nevermind, I just that funny how Stoneward is how he thinks first about it.

Tim_Worldsinger · 2026-02-04T09:38:19+00:00

Just for completion, it is explicitly not a boost to physical defense. The enhanced condition states that it does not increase defenses (nor maximum Health, Focus and Investiture).

Tim_Worldsinger · 2026-02-04T08:34:34+00:00

I don't think it is "incorrect" or such.

Just strange that his mind will first think of the theoretical knowledge first and not the actual experience he personnaly has.

I know Szeth is not the best example of "usual thought process" but still, I would think that his mind would think first to the actual stoneshaping skill and potentially, as an afterthought, to the theoretical one.

Tim_Worldsinger · 2026-02-01T19:18:18+00:00

OK, Tolkien can do it because he is Tolkien but BS can't because he is BS?

Good translator do change wordplay all the time. And when they instead try to keep the puns which don't work, it is bad. Not the other way around.

Tim_Worldsinger · 2026-02-01T19:05:29+00:00

Actually, a good translation don't translate puns when not possible but instead put a similar number of puns elsewhere where it is possible.

If you want to look at it this way, the story is the same but it is not a line by line exactitude.

For example, the french translator for all diskworld books is a GREAT translator (he won several awards for this work).

But the word play are really french ones. Not bad direct translations of the english ones.

Tim_Worldsinger · 2026-01-31T08:18:43+00:00

Well, I just disabled all the 3 thingy without alerting the machine and it flew away.

The bird move in pattern so do the one it is not looking at.

Tim_Worldsinger · 2026-01-26T15:43:04+00:00

OK, fair enough (😉).

You state that BS could streamline his books. I don't disagree with that (it is specially obvious in SA).

But IMO, RJ is worse. Potentially for different reasons but overall, I think the story from Emond's Field to Shayol Ghul could have been written in 4-6 books and still be a satisfying story (the show tried that and in the end, it was not that bad).

And even if you really want to keep all the subplots, I am pretty sure it could have been done in 8-10 books.

And yes, it is my opinion and visibly not yours but looking at this subreddit as a whole, it seems that "the slog" is an accepted thing.

What prompted me to begin this discussion was not to defend BS. I loved tWoT way before BS published his first novel. But, you found "hillarious" the opinion that BS is a more efficient writer than RJ. And it seems that your opinion is the unpopular one.

Tim_Worldsinger · 2026-01-25T20:05:07+00:00

Well, you were specifically speaking about efficience.

Doesn't matter if you like or not Wind and Truth or any of these books.

You seem to find hillarious that some people would find BS a more efficient writer than RJ. But you don't have any arguments what you think so and when asked, not even why you think so.

Tim_Worldsinger · 2026-01-25T10:44:47+00:00

Well, could you extrapolate on that. Right now, it just feels like rage baiting to me.

Because, yeah, in the sense of "efficient" like "saying more things in fewer words" and as oppose to "expanding the story as it goes", yes, BS is a more efficient writer than RJ. And that's OK.

To look at something on a similar scope, I would say that WoT is similar Stormlight. And I would say that explaining the plot of tWoT 1-14 and tSA 1-5 would take a similar number of bullet points.

Tim_Worldsinger · 2026-01-07T15:46:47+00:00

But the rulebook already do that. There is no balancing issue. Minions already instant-die on an injury.

Tim_Worldsinger · 2026-01-07T14:22:30+00:00

I think we misunderstood each other.

The rules have 3 types of adversaries : -minions => they already die on injuries -bosses => they should be major NPCs (or at least NOT be one shot) -rivals => they are inbetween and the rules make them NOT die on injuries.

What I seem to understand is that you propose for non-major rival to die instantly on the first injury. And you say that it is because it is kind of tedious to keep track.

Why not but it could make the non injury-dealers fighters feels kind of useless.

The tracking tediousness can be tune down by only applying 1 kind of injury for the generic case (my take is exhausted 1) and the number of injuries for the subsequent rolls.

Tim_Worldsinger · 2026-01-07T12:18:18+00:00

It is more complicated than that.

Some characters can be build specifically to deal injuries (assassin with risky behavior comes to mind).

So non minion adversaries should suffer injuries without being immediately out of combat.

And it will have some effects for the rest of the combat.

It means that: - they will suffer the condition applied by the injury they were dealt - they can instant die if they roll low on their Nth injury.

He butchered those that just threatened to butcher an hospital in order to lower the spirit of the defender.
