There is no established lore that it's impossible for a female to survive.

the mutagen being survivable due to hormones, and even then rarely, doesn't satisfy this? Seems pretty clear you haven't read the source material, and are just skimming wiki or trusting reddit posts.

From what I remember in the books as far as females and the trial of the grasses was basically it was never tested and assumed women couldn’t handle it because only the strongest of men could handle it and men are stronger than women thus you’d almost certainly be sentencing them to certain death. So if what I remember is correct you’re quasi right that it has never been attempted or proven it couldn’t work. It’s still stupid to make ciri just a full on Witcher. I think most fans if asked what they would’ve wanted knowing Ciri would be the protagonist in a direct sequel to Witcher 3 would be her going on a journey steeped in politics and monster contracts but using her own special brand of powers but artificially scaled back, not just becoming the first female Witcher ever because reasons. You’ll find the Witcher isn’t a very fitting story for the post modernist themes you seem interested in injecting into it. It’s based by its very nature.

that's a long post to say there is nothing in the source material that says females can't become witchers.

if there was you wouldve just posted it..

Males had a 30% chance of survival at Kaer Morhen, without the help of mages, of course Geralt wouldn't let Ciri take it. Females have a lower chance, but in the years between witcher 4 and witcher 3 they could obtain more knowledge, like they regained the knowledge of the trials in the witcher 3 to perform on Uma.

the devs have already stated she will undergo the trial, the only thing left to figure out is how that comes to be narratively. If she is facing certain death without them, they would be willing to try.

we call that the trial of the lasses

Everyone who has read the source material knows it. It is 100% of why she NEVER undergoes the trial of grasses in the source material.

It's nice to see you be so confidently wrong. The Polish group that made an entire 2001 Pen & Paper RPG Wiedzmin: Gra Wyobrazni, put female witchers from the school of the cat in the game. I guess they didn't "read the source material" according to you, man without any source other than "everyone knows"

Geralt wouldn't subject anyone to the low odds of the trial. He disagrees with the whole premise of them. He thinks it's fricked up his own mother gave him up knowing what it meant

So you want me to read through all the books again looking for the few times they mention the trial of the grasses involving ciri rather than using the internet? Lmao that's the entire point of a search function, others have already done that work.

Once again, quit deflecting and provide evidence that it is IMPOSSIBLE for a female to survive the Trials, rather than "everyone knows". Because clearly everyone doesn't know that, including the devs with approval from the author

It's so funny to watch u try to act like you know things yet you can't provide ANYTHING to back up what YOU claim. You would think if an author wanted to make it canon that females can't undergo the Trials he would have provided one passage in 7 books clarifying that.

It's OK, you made an assumption that no female witchers meant it was physically impossible and the usual happened.

this is why you always lose these arguments.

you try so hard to deflect my argument because you have none.

your only argument is that you think you are smart when it is clear you have nothing to work with.

that might work with your kids but it doesn't work when it comes to real life.

Until you can provide a source that says females cannot undergo the trial of grasses, I'll stick with the devs who have Sapkowski's approval.

I have LITERALLY never lost an argument with you.

Literally.

Not once. Not even almost once.



I would ask that you produce a single argument I have lost on here.

I will wait.

I can offer your inability to understand current. . .just off the top of my head, as a clear loss on your part.

Let's see your example.

I'll wait. . .

I am addressing your arguments directly. Where have I deflected? Do you know what that means?

quote:

They wanted female witchers in their game, so they broke Canon. So?

you are incredible at mental gymnastics. the people that dedicated so much of their lives to a book series wanted to do something impossible in that world in their game? they told you that or you just "know" it. because the things you know have been proven wrong quite a few times already.

you knew it was impossible for a female to undergo the trial of the grasses too, but it is happening now with the approval of Sapkowski

provide your source for female witchers being impossible. the exact passage in the books. it's gotta be in there, otherwise you wouldn't keep saying you "know" it.
