Here is an
interesting concept. We know that as per the books it is
possible to bond a male channeler as a warder. If that
channeler starts going mad.... does the female channeler also
start going mad due to the echos in her mind of feelings and
mental/physcal state of her warder?
Hmm..

Hey Arr, my
brother and me were discussing this and he came up with a very
good point. We know that women who link with a man can gain
madness as per what Mogh. said to Nyn in Tanchico (this was in
refrence to using the male a'dam). I would say that although
the bond might cause some deffinate wierdness, if the man who
was bonded goes mad. The woman probably wouldn't, same as when
a normal Warder gets killed. The woman feels the pain, and
suffers emotionally, but for the most part she is still
sound.
On the other hand, I would propose a house rule
that a woman who is linked to a man who overchannels (and
therefore gains a madness point), then she would gain a point
as well. Or maybe she has to make some kind of Willpower save
or gain a madness point (I would personally go with the link
and you get one). This would reflect the linking to the power
and being affected by saidin.
By the way, nice
idea for a thread, gets the old noodle
working.

Well, the
main reason I ask is that it is about to happen in my
game. I think the female must make a will save for each
point of madness that the warder gains after being bonded, or
also gain a point of madness. what the base difficulty should
be.

Remember
also, that when a channeler (elayne) bonds someone and that
someone (birgette) gets drunk, the channeler also displays the
mental symptoms of being drunk. I would say they gain madness
also.

With Elayne
and Brigit it is a special case since they are both female.
The bond acts differently. I don't think that an Aes Sedai
would gain madness when bonded to a male who can channel.
Alanna has been bonded to Rand for some time now and she
doesn't seem to be going mad. With links I can see gaining
madness for the leader of the link as they are actually
touching and controlling
saidin.

Well, Since
the channeler in question is an npc and the male in question
is a pc, I am going to have the madness slowly begin affecting
the female too. bwahahaha. and the gleeman who just wrote a
wonderful play in game (he remembered the forgotten jack and
the beanstalk because of his old blood, and put it into a new
play) is going to be mad at me. talk about intellectual
property theft. bwahahah. I am so mean to my players, and they
love it.

*mwahaha*
Our campaign beat ya too it
bro...
We have a Female channeler who is striking up
quite the madness rating thanks to a ter'angreal that
essentially seems to be a translater or something between
Saidin and Saidar.
We haven't figured it out completely
yet...
But, it's been funny as it somehow blocks the
taint for men, but when she tried using it she actually felt
the taint. We laughed so hard when we watched the GM roll a
six-sided die. And we all knew the female channeler just got a
madness rating.
