Newbies ask certain questions:

1. "Damn I wish they would make a novel based in this campaign setting!" Is an obvious way to know a WoT Newbie.

2. "Why do male channelers go crazy?"

I will think of more, but please submit your own Newbie Questions.

"An eye's what?"

"HOW many books are there? [Eek!] "

"Rand who?"

"Is this like Dungeons and Dragons the book?"

"Wait. Why can't Aiel (swim, ride horses, use swords)?"

"Like a wedding veil?"

"Ok. So a myrdrahhl's bad. Gotcha."

"So I shouldn't attack the warder?"

"When do I get my lightsaber?"

"No darkside points? SWEET! [Devilish] "

"Channeling? Weaves per day? ummmmm [White Mana] (head implosion)"

That's all I can think of off the top of my head.

"So the guy who just squeezed under the door is not a good guy?"

"Why can't I just unravel this weave?"

"Man, I want some black armor like that guy with no eyes had!"

"Wolves...I hate wolves."

"So I can cast even bigger spells using this massive hand and orb sticking out of the ground? Sweet!"

"So I roll a...um, a 20 to pull the glass sword out of the floor..."

"I shoot an arrow at the guy with flames for eyes...roll a 23 total for attack...what do you mean I missed??...He's doing what??? Damn."

What did the eyes say?

Okay, so this guy in the black coat is a Shaman?

Why would I want to tear an angreal?

If I'm human, how can I become a brother to wolves?

Can I play an Ogre tree singer?

I've never heard of a Troll-ox, are you sure it's in the monster manual?

Where can I find one of those chaneller spell books?

Wait a minute, first your calling this tree of life "avendesora", then "avendoraldera" which is it?

Where can I get one of those disks with a yin-yang on it?

Okay, so the Dragon polymorphed into this red haired guy?

What's my alignment?

Can I play a paladin?

Normal people frighten me. I've never heard of freinds or relatives of serial killers saying, "He was crazy, I knew he was going to snap sooner or later and start killing people". They always seem to say, "He was such a nice normal young man", etc. Atleast with crazy people, you know to watch your back!

Here's more:

"What do you mean 10 inches is a foot?"

"10 days in a week?!?!"

"Isn't ale singular? why do you say 'The ale are coming?' God I could use some ale."

"13 months in a year?!"

Can I be one of those damane? I'd love to throw around fireballs like that!

What do you mean I can't take the collar off?

What do you mean I can't have a Holy Avenger? I'm a freakin 15th level Warder!! Most Paladins have a Holy Blade by 3rd!

What do you mean a Warder isn't a Paladin? It says right here in the Paladin's handbook that a 5th level paladin is a warder.

hehe...

Why can't I buy a chick that can cast magic and heels?

The whitecloaks where white, so they must be goodguys?

What happens when I walk off the bridge into the total darkness.

Why are all the magic users so young and hot?

Why can't I have a dish smashing party with those Ying-Yang plates?

Dark One, does he work for the IRS?

Hey I saw the movie Forsaken, can't I be a vampire too?

Who would find an annoying red head threatening?

When you say Green Man, are you talking about the Jolly Green Giant?

If I steal that crystal sword, how much can I sell it for?

Moridin? That's a stupid name. He's probably really weak, lets charge him.

How can I channel both sides of the power? Do I have to train in the Ivory Tower and the Black Tower, or can I just learn them from a wandering mage?

Let's go to that Ivory Tower over there on that island.

There's just one thing I don't understand; Why do they call it the black tower if there's no black stone anywhere in the walls, and there are no buildings taller than 3 stories?

These "wise ones" don't sound so wise to me. I thought you were talking about an oracle or something.

Where can I find the spell book? I want to learn how to summon a demon or something.

So if I serve this Dark One, can I be one of the chosen too?

If we killed that thing with no eyes, How could it kill Charlie?

I thought you said these Shaido people were Aiel, why are they attacking us?

So if I pull out that crystal sword, I can beat the Dragon?

Shayol Ghul? that sounds like a fun dungeon.

I'm gonna cast Lightening at that skinny guy who slid through the crack in the door. Whaddya mean it didn't work?

Can I play a tinker?

Why can't the Aes Sedai make a magic sword?

Actually, Lightning might actually work.

It certainly worked against Mat, after all...
