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? "
"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! "
"Channeling? Weaves per day? ummmmm (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."

Okay, so this guy in the black coat is a

Why would I want to tear an angreal?
If
I'm human, how can I become a brother to wolves?
Can I

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

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

Okay, so the Dragon polymorphed into this red

What's my alignment?
Can I play a
paladin?

What do you mean I can't take the collar

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

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.

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?

I'm gonna cast Lightening at
