Could an Asha'man and an Aes Sedai cross bond each other?

It would be an interesting weave...stronger than even a bond. And very advantageous. You get the benefits of allowing each other to strengthen (Hit Point sharing, etc.)

I would think such might also something sorta like linking. The idea is if in close proximity, one can overchannel at a reduced level. (In other words, it would function like a +1 link, except only on a full overchannel.)

I think it would be very interesting to have a cross-linked bond between a male and female channeller...extremely intimate as well.

Our game has an additional country addded to Randland where there are male and female channelers. In that country, bonding is more intimate. Married channelers bond eachother, or channelers bond their non-channeler spouse. Those are the only bonds done, period.

(There was an NPC couple who both channeled and were married. They were a force to be reckoned with when linked...nearly psychic synchronization)

So, yes, i agree that channelers can bond eachother. And yes, i agree that it would definately be more intimate. [Blush]

I agree, it would be very intimate, but mechanically would it change anything? Maybe making something new up like my Higher Bond in the Gaidon Sedai PrC. Or maybe it wouldn't change anything other than role play potential. Interesting though. [Wink]

I know you believe you understand what it is you think I said, but I'm not sure what you heard isn't what I really meant.

I don't think it would affect channelling except when they are accually linked. I do however think that it might give a very different emotional sharing effect... like the fact that each would not only know how the other feels, but how much of themselves the other experiences all of which would be sent back and forth and build upon it'self to a nearly overwhelming level until the 2 become used to it. [Eek!] (in game terms for 1d6 weeks x the total level of the characters, all atributes take a temp loss of 5 points) imho it would likely result in a sharing of thoughts as well as emotions and physical sensations... also it would probably eliminate the ability to compel the other through the bond.

Stupidity is not a crime, so you're free to go.
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!
