It's better than a freebie. I'd no longer need to shave my head.

u/Gnomad_Lyfe May 10 '25

Yeah, like they establish in LoK that airbenders are bald because it literally boosts their reaction times by being able to better detect currents. You’re gonna want to be shaving either way, so the prompt just gives you the power and a universal advantage with it.

When they tussle with the poachers who were trying to capture flying bison!!

Or maybe you have to keep shaving it to retain your airbending powers

As long as it’s not specifically zuku’s scar I get freebie firebending (I got a cut from fall in a barb wire fence)

u/Cammation May 14 '25

My thought exactly 🤣🤣 it doesn’t say how large/bad the scar needs to be, just that there needs to be a scar

Lol, But, I mean, ATLA & TLOK are influenced by Asia and Buddhism. Many (if not all) Buddhist monks are required to shave their heads and keep them bald, as far as I know.

The lucky guy here. That's why I chose Earthbending.

Like me!

u/EstrellaDarkstar May 11 '25

I'm not even a guy, but I'd take it. I've rocked a shaved head before, it looks really good on me.

u/Hunter_Lala May 12 '25

Lmao yeah I was gonna say, I'm already bald!

u/BradyTheGG May 14 '25

Plus they never specified how bald like would having a bald spot count or just having no hair on top.
