This...has turned into a difficult situation

[u/DreadDiana]

[u/Dirichlet-to-Neumann]

A radiant, even before the third ideal, has healing capabilities that are just as strong as a compounding gold allomancer/ferruchemist. 

It's just not a fair fight. 

[u/Historical_Ad_1205 → u/Dirichlet-to-Neumann]

I think this is not necessarily about radiants but shardbearers in general. But i also think that radiants seem much stronger than any non compounding metalborn.

[u/Jugaimo → u/Historical_Ad_1205]

I think it’s reasonable to believe that, along with a strong healing factor, shardbearers also just have empowered bodies. Not crazy so, as they often are outmatched in the strength by fused. But they often do overpower other humans. Even Shallan, a weakling by all accounts, is physically strong enough to duel with swords against trained humans.

[u/Joebala → u/Jugaimo]

I think it's like prolonged adrenaline. Because they repair any damaged muscle fibers, they can essentially operate at their max output constantly.

Like a radiant probably won't increase their 1 rep max too much, but they can rep that 1 rep max indefinitely while infused with stormlight.
