bmcclure7 Posted August 6, 2023 Report Share Posted August 6, 2023 (edited) Each other the shards offer you power in exchange for servous who would you serve? Ruin Offers transformation into a kondra with 2 blessings of your choice. Preservation offers turning you into a mistborn Harmony Offers turning you into a full ferochemist Honor Offers any Spren who's ideal you can alone with Cultivation Offers any boon (you will still also get a bane) Odium Offers make you into a fused Endowment: You gain 1,000 breaths.

JustQuestin2004 he/him Posted August 6, 2023 Report Share Posted August 6, 2023 Hmmm, interesting idea Ruin would just control me as a Kandra so that's clearly out. Preservation and Harmony's offer is pretty good, just free powers no strings attached. Honor is tempting too but the Oaths would restrict me in ways that I probably wouldn't like, plus I don't know how honorable I'd be in sticky situations. Cultivation's would be pretty interesting as well, Taravangian and Lift shows just what she can grant. But I think I'd like more clear and consistent things than take a wild gamble. Odium is just straight out for the same reasons as Ruin, except Odium would torture me if I ever disagreed with him. Plus the Fused have shown that their immortality isn't all that pleasant. I'd probably go with Harmony's offer, Feruchemy alone could potentially lead to more powers later on with less cost, plus I like Sazed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rg2045 Posted August 6, 2023 Report Share Posted August 6, 2023 Honor, pick bondsmith. And try to learn immortality through realmatic means. Talk to hoid learn to curve the insanity and be a constant uniting force. Then assassinated by a dagger with a gem on the end. That rips me apart to my soul 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Underwater_Worldhopper he/him Posted August 6, 2023 Report Share Posted August 6, 2023 Tough call between Preservation and Harmony. As a Mistborn, you can: Manipulate people's emotions (my favorite power) travel insanely quickly and use any metal as a bullet Become stronger, more balanced, and tireless Have magnified senses See your own future (Can be very combat effective with enough training) Speed up time Slow down time (no more boring waiting or long commutes!) Flare any of these to extreme levels As a Feruchemist, you can: Weigh as much or as little as you wish, (not very hard to store up) Increased muscle mass, but requires storing it equivalently first increased speed, but requires storing it equivalently first increased senses, but requires storing it equivalently first Indefinite memories (requires forgetting them) increased wakefulness, but requires storing it equivalently first increased mental speed, but requires storing it equivalently first Be as hot or cold as you like (not very hard to store up) learn a language or become friends with anyone, or conversely become completely unnoticeable. (not very hard to store up) Increased Intuition, but requires storing it equivalently first heal faster, but requires storing it equivalently first increased determination, but requires storing it equivalently first decreased need to eat, but requires storing it equivalently first decreased need to breathe, but requires storing it equivalently first In my opinion, though Feruchemy grants way more actively useful abilities, the powers the Allomancy grants come with no cost and are a lot more supernatural, so they're roughly on par with one another. I'm gonna say I'll serve Preservation, Feruchemy is more quality of life stuff, Allomancy fits the dramatic lifestyle I have much better. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ΨιτιsτηεΒέsτ Male Posted August 7, 2023 Report Share Posted August 7, 2023 Yeah now that endowments on the list I have to go with it. Go to would be pretty cool and we don’t even know have the stuff you can do being a bondsmith. Bring a full mistoborn would also be awesome you could jump around and such. I feel like the boon and bane wouldn’t work for me somehow, and I wouldn’t take ruin or Odium as masters. But with Breaths, I could do all sorts of cool things with awakening and giving crazy instructions. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Hoodie Mistborn he/him Posted August 22, 2023 Report Share Posted August 22, 2023 I'd have to go with Harmony of these options. It'd be dope to be a Full Feruchemist in modern society 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xiahida Posted August 22, 2023 Report Share Posted August 22, 2023 I say Harmony, I almost always have thoughts like using feruchemy and my thoughts always use these powers for my circumstances. Plus when you get the metal you can use it almost indefinetly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Treamayne Posted August 23, 2023 Report Share Posted August 23, 2023 I would have to work for that which makes the river want to flow. That which teaches bird chicks to fly, that which sustained the Reod Elantrians. I would have to work to restore The Dor to its rightful place in the Spiritual Realm. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus it's cheaper than Allomancy, you only need to buy a single set of Metalmnds and you're good, but with Allomancy you'll need to replenish frequently. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NameIess Posted August 29, 2023 Report Share Posted August 29, 2023 (edited) If it was 2,000 breaths, then I’d pick Endowment. As it is, I’d go with Preservation to be a Mistborn. Edited August 29, 2023 by Nameless* 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miscc Posted September 3, 2023 Report Share Posted September 3, 2023 Probably Harmony. One of my favorite characters and Shards, and I can't say no to being a Feruchemist. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trytoguess Posted September 7, 2023 Report Share Posted September 7, 2023 I guess the boring answer would be I’d serve none of them since all shards tend to ask their followers to do some pretty difficult and traumatic things. But if I had to choose for some reason… Ruin: JustQuestin2004 already mentioned Ruin can control you. Even if that didn’t exist, I don’t think serving someone who wants you dead is a good idea. Not to mention as a 1st generation Kandra, you won’t be very good at shapeshifting. This is a pass. Preservation: Allomancy offers a decent set of abilities but most of them aren’t too useful in the modern day. One exception would be emotional allomancy but using that would be quite unethical. Harmony: Ferchumy offers abilities that are generally more useful, but having to store things would be a big hassle. It’ll really depend on how much downtime you have. With that said, if the tabletop RPG is canon and you can use nicrosil to convert one type of investiture to another then Feruchemy becomes significantly more powerful. It’ll also lets you easily convert mundane matter into raw investiture which could have some interesting applications. Honor: Hard pass on this one. Not getting any privacy in life is too much for me. Even if I get to become a Truthwatcher. Also, there’s the small issue of where to get a steady source of investiture to power a decent chunk of my abilities. Cultivation: The boon & bane system is too random. It’s probably not worth it. Pass. Odium: Having to eternally serve a god whose pissed off by his very nature sounds like a terrible idea. Another hard pass. Endowment: Hitting the fourth heightening doesn’t really give you any useful abilities unless you’re really passionate about the arts. Or, maybe you REALLY need the ability to store and edit your memories.. For me this is a pass. I guess if the Mistborn tabletop isn’t canon, I’d pick Preservation for some easily accessible abilities (even if 2 of them are unethical). If the tabletop is canon, then I’m going with Harmony and am going to do a bunch of experiment with the massive amount of investiture I’ll can get from eating and drinking while also living a life with no sickness, abnormally high luck, and genius level intellect. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormlit Shard he/him Posted September 7, 2023 Report Share Posted September 7, 2023 I would rather choose honor or preservation. Being a full Mistborn would be awesome, especially toying with others' emotions. But having the powers of a surge-binder would be amazing as well especially having a spren to help guide me in what is right or honorable. I'd probably choose preservation though, its a bit more useful in modern-day life. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saxsoon Posted September 11, 2023 Report Share Posted September 11, 2023 Feruchemy is probably the most interesting in that there are times where I just don't want to be around people and could use that time to build up my abilities 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
