Ok, this has been giving me a headache for quite some time, in the book series Aes Sedai Cant maintain the shield if they lose sight while, the Ashaman can maintain the shield with out so does that mean i should do the same in my game??? What do you guys think and what are you doing in yours??? [Confused]

I remember Aes Sedai saying that most men belived that they couldn't maintain a weave they couldn't see, and I remember the Asha'men doing it. But I dont remember Aes Sedai *not* being able to do it.

well im not sure what your'e talking about, i dont remember anything like that. When a certain someone got stuffed in a box by aes sedai they stilled maintained a direct shield. even so, you can always tie it off and leave it.

Hey Milosh, and Melriken for that matter. For the life of me I can't remember the quotes that you guys are refering to. I use a lot of house rules in my game to conform more to the books. I would really appreciate the books and pg. number for them and I could make something appropriate.

dont have the time to look it up right now, but the event we are refering to is when the Aes Sedai attack the black tower, the main group is stopped just outside by an Asha'man, then flanked by some more, who shield the leader, she then thinks 'If I can run into the trees the shield will break because men dont think they can hold a weave they cant see' however Logan (iirc) chases her into the trees and even though he lost sight of her keeps the shield, stops her, and bonds her.

hope thats what you were looking for

I believe seeing the weave is mentioned when one Aes Sedai is talking about how she over came her block and she says "I could only channel with my eyes closed and you need to be able to see to weave correctly" or somthing along those lines. So an Aes Sedai can maintan a weave she can't see but can't form the weave in the first plcace if she can't see it.
