Wheel v. Mist

[AvalonDreamer]

Now that Brandon is writing A Memory of Light, I was wondering which of those groups people liked best and why. I think it'd be interesting to see how the groups stack up against each other.

Gotta be a channeler. It would be cool to be a mistborn, but you can only do so much with allomancy. You can do ANYTHING with the one power if you can find the right weave. Besides, it'd be easy for a channeler to kick a mistborn's trash. Just hold him still with air and balefire the heck out of him/her.

honestly i haven't read the wheel of time stuff, so my options were limited, but i chose keeper. sazeds fights at the end of Mistborn 2 were just flippin awesome

[Andrew the Great]

AvalonDreamer, you should add inquisitors to the poll. They are arguably similar to mistborn, true, but there are enough differences to warrant it, I think.

[Plasman]

i think that you should add elantrians and awakeners to the list.  they're  not mistborn or WOT, but it's still sanderson stuff and they're pretty cool as well

Don't forget Rithmatists

And while we're at it I think you should trow in the endowed from The Runelords, just to mix things up.

A lot of people may not fully know what those are, so it might not work to have them unless you explain, and you can't really explain they're full coolness unless you let them read about them...

True. Yeah, I don't want to explain it to anyone. They'll find out who they are when it's too late and no one can hear them scream. Muwahaha!

Channeler - they have much more organized societies.  Although, I have to admit that a Mistcloak sounds cooler than an Aes Sedai shawl.  But what keeps the ribbons from getting tangled?  Are they some synthetic fabric?

[cloversprite]

Misborn.  Less powerful, but it makes up for it in subtlety and just plain normalcy.  The subtlety is a big thing for me though...if  had that much power, I wouldn't want it to be as obvious as it is for channelers. 

Aes Sedai/channelers are cool, but they live too long for my taste and they are just plain snooty  

[SarahG]

Aes Sedai can be subtle and can seem normal - the Two Rivers people had no idea what Moiraine was till the Trolloc battle.  Their power doesn't need to be obvious until they're using it in obvious ways - just as Mistborn powers are obvious sometimes.  It's pretty dramatic when Vin flies through the air like an arrow, or tosses armed men around.

I'm having difficulty understanding how burning metals inside your stomach to manipulate metals and people around you is normal......

So what if you were a mistborn and channeler? That would be pretty much amazing!

So I have not read the wheel of time series. Is it good? Right now I am finishing up the Drizzt series while waiting on mb3, but the WOT series seems like it may be interesting, I may have to give it a shot.
