I was
wondering if anyone ever made any accurate rulings on how far
away channeling is detectable based upon level. Rand and
Nynaeve were detectable all across the westlands. All the 0th
level practice weaves in Cairhein were detectable at the same
distance as the shield used on Rand which is why the Wise Ones
didn't search the Aes Sedais place when he went missing. I've
been wondering because I want to know how far away other
channelers will feel the channeling. Should it also be
dependant on the power of the channeler sensing it (i.e. more
powerful channelers can sense a smaller amount of power being
channeled due to their experience and highly tuned one power
senses.). Maybe slightly dependant on weavesight. What do you
guys think

When I ran
a Rolemaster campaign using a similar feel to the WOT magic
system I used a table based on level created using 10*(2^X)
where X was the level of the spell sort of like:
LvL
Distance 0 10m 1 20m 2 40m 3 80m 4 160m 5
320m 6 640m
etc 13 80Km
If the weave was
at the distance specified then the DC was 10 against (can't
remember! SPOT?) If for instance a channeler was 80m away
from a 6th Lvl weave there would be a DC 10+(3-6) = 7 chance
of detecting it. or 640m away from a 1st Lvl weave DC
10+(6-1)= 15
I found this made the players much more
suspect about using more powerful weaves when they discovered
how easy it was to be detected. This helped limit what they
did with the power much like the AS in the
books.

Thanx, this
was exactly what I was looking for. I like those distances
too.
