I was just
reading book 8 (again), and in the beginning when Elayne is
sorting through her cache of goodies she finds a weak angreal.
At that point she makes a comment which rather caught my
attention. It was something along the lines of, 'even though
it was a weak angreal, it would still allow her to channel
more than twice as much as nyn. could.' This rather startled
me, because in the rpg, all they do is add a level or 2 to
their weave level. This massive underpowering of angreal must
be a massive balancing adjustment. So if you think about it,
you more than likely could have taken on the Dark One with the
Chadin Fal (or whatever they are). The question I have, is
that, has anyone created alternative rules for angreal, making
them 'real life' powered? I like having the wot realm as real
as possible, regardless of how insanely powerful a channeler
could become.

back, please tell myself to wait.

The problem
(as I see it) is, the power scale in the RPG isn't wide
enough...

If you
follow a scale sort of binary in nature for the power of a
specific weave, you'll find this can work out. So if the power
of a level 0 weave is 2^0 and a level 1 weave is 2^1 and level
2 is 2^2 then you find that all you need to do to double the
power of a weave is increase its level by 1. This would allow
the normal description and ruling of angreal and sa'angreal to
still work.

shadowkiller hit it on the head, a level 8 weave is
much weaker than a level 9 weave. twice as strong may be an
exageration, but even if it is half again a +2 angreal would
do it.
when two people are close in power level what
they mean is that they can channel the same highest level
weave, but the stronger one has more slots or total weave
levels. it is not the best representation, but it
works.
