Well, in the case we're talking about, jedi have no resistance to metals in their body being pushed. We're talking about trace metals, like the iron in your bloodstream. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That wouldn't be enough, you need a fairly big energy source like the mists or compounding in order to both push on trace metals and get past the "pushing inside a person" boundary 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duxredux he/him Posted June 9, 2022 Report Share Posted June 9, 2022 I don't think we know enough about how the abilities interact. Does Copper shield against Jedi mind tricks? To what extent does Atium and Electrum disrupt Precognition? What is the terrain? What level of training are we talking? I think it's reasonable to assume that to make this a fair(er) fight, that the Jedi and Mistborn have had equal time for training. If you break out Yoda, then you break out a similarly aged and experienced Mistborn by pulling out TLR but take away his Feruchemical abilities and dependencies. There's also issues of what canon of Star Wars you choose to use for this, because there is serious power creep and/or abilities only demonstrated in a single individual. There have been Jedi who can smash a Star Destroyer into a planet, run 100 m in a second, absorb most of a planet's worth of life, etc. The ability sheet on Wookieepedia has over a hundred abilities that different writers or game developers have thrown in over the decades never seen in the movies. Which ones are we giving to the Jedi in this hypothetical duel? Are we giving the basic power suite or the more unique skills? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+robardin he/him Posted June 9, 2022 Report Share Posted June 9, 2022 Consider that some of the most powerful Dark Side practitioners we've seen - as in Darth Vader and Kylo Ren - have still a spark of light in them that they have to continually stoke their rage/anger over to suppress... Maybe a Mistborn could duralumin Soothe/Riot them to flip them back to the Light Side. Even if that doesn't win the fight right there, it should at least cause a moment of emotional turmoil that leaves an opening for a well placed coin to the head or something. LOL But yeah, on the face of it, completely open-ended, no-balancing-cost magic like the Force and the One Power in the Wheel of Time are inherently more OP than anything in the Cosmere that we've seen (possibly except for AonDor for an Elantrian on home turf, or a Connection hack thereof) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d like to see a normal Jedi go up against a flying, force-proof powerarmor wearing super soldier wielding a six-foot long sword that can cut through just about anything. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Wandering Wizard he/him Posted June 9, 2022 Report Share Posted June 9, 2022 The jedi are used to swords that can cut through anything and can get closer faster than a normal foot soldier could. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NameIess Posted June 9, 2022 Report Share Posted June 9, 2022 Are they used to fighting people in armor that blocks lightsabers? People that can mold stone like putty, manipulate gravity, or even burn people to ash with a touch? No. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Wandering Wizard he/him Posted June 9, 2022 Report Share Posted June 9, 2022 Lots of stuff can block lightsabers including energy shields. The other things not so much but they are used to weapons that can do similar things and they are used to gravity changing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NameIess Posted June 9, 2022 Report Share Posted June 9, 2022 Being used to something is different from being Annie to beat something. Jedi died during the mandalorian war, and Mandalorians didn’t have radiant powers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duxredux he/him Posted June 9, 2022 Report Share Posted June 9, 2022 (edited) Yeah... on paper, Jango Fett, Boba Fett, Trade Federation troopers, droideka, etc. shouldn't give Jedi nearly as much trouble as they do. Upgrade her daggers and Vin could have utterly trashed most of the droid army in Episode 2. The limitation of only being able to affect metal can be an advantage in the right circumstance.

Quivil she/her Posted June 10, 2022 Report Share Posted June 10, 2022 6 hours ago, Frustration said: I don't think the systems should interact, or be forced to play by any rules other than their own. Jedi wouldn't count as invested, and the force would not count as investiture. And this is why it's impossible to agree. We're measuring with two different systems. 5 hours ago, Frustration said: That is true, but that assumes that the Jedi has those. Belt buckles. Anything in their boots. Pant buttons and zippers. We humans use so much metal without even realizing it. I doubt the Jedi are any different. When I was talking about the Mistborn jumping in ways the Jedi wouldn't expect, I was talking about them casually changing direction mid-jump. But you're right about copper. I temporarily forgot how it worked. 5 hours ago, Nameless said: And a Mistborn can use any metal embedded in the jedi's body against them. Tooth fillings, earings, robotic parts, all incredibly vulnerable to a Mistborn's attacks. Metals inside bodies are hard to affect without duralumin 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
