First of all, every male channeler goes crazy within a few years of starting to touch the Tainted Saidin. Furthermore, after they go insane, they start rotting. You're not going to find anyone above 30 who channels Saidin alive.
Well, my plan for it was to have the taint not exist during the Nerima Time period, so its only the pre-existing effects.
Plus, Taint isn't passed down genetically, so it doesn't explain Kodachi. (plus, the Kunos would've died out long ago, I'd bet...)
Actually, as far as I know, the effects on the children of tainted channellers isn't known due to the deaths of the male channellers, so as far as I can see, that leaves it open to the authors interpretation.
Musk and Amazons... exchanging channelers? Doesn't seem to make much sense to me, given the above... again, men go crazy pretty quickly and then die out.
Another thing, if Saidin is tainted, where is the hole to the DO's prison located in Ranma's world? It can't be tainted if the DO is fully sealed there (IMO).
No Taint in ranma's time, just the after effects of the taint.
Red Ajah... gawd... no way. Ranma in the red? My mind boggles.
I have to agree that the red does seem a poor idea in retrospect.
Weaves that allow self-transformation are a no-no, unless you change the very nature of the One Power. You can't weave on yourself, for one. Can't Heal yourself. I don't see how that is possible. And it gets worse about "locking" the curse. There's no reason why they would know how to do it, and even less reason to make it channeler only (ever heard of Tying weaves?). I'm fairly certain it's actually mentioned in a resource book (not the RPG) that AoL AS couldn't change living beings after they were born... and the AS that would be training Ranma are a pathetic shadow of them.
I'd forgotten about the no self-transformation rule, I guess I can go with a weave to change liquids temputure then.
Time Travel with Portal Stones is possible, but I'd say it's mostly accidental, and probably only forward in time. (though it's plausible to have it go back...)
The idea of the (experimental) portal stone, was to go back in time multiple ages, and then, using specially designed Ter'angrel, to return. This was why it was an experimental one.
The Oath Rod also at least halves life-spans (I suspect it's at least shaving to around 30% or less, but that might not be right... AoL life-spans were exceedingly long in and of themselves).
Considering this story is only going to take place over the period of maybe 20 years or so at most, I am not sure how this is really relavent.
I may have more to say after this is replied to.[/quote]
Also, to answer some of the comments above regarding Ranma's Gender Change and the use of Saidar, since Jordan does not have any gender changering channellers, that leaves it up to the individual fanfic author's intrepretation how they want it to work, in my opinion.
