If it doesn't transmit shockwaves, then you have what, a completely rigid material? That means you can't move it, for one, since it will require an infinite amount of energy to move. And if it doesn't require an infinite amount of energy to move, because it's powered by plotholium, then it violates relativity and you have a faster-than-light material.

Since you can move heartstone, I choose to believe it simply has a mechanism by which it absorbs energy and uses it to reinforce its structure. No violation of general relativity required.

We had a lengthy discussion of this on wotmania a few years ago... Marshall - 26/01/2011 06:46:27 PM 1375 Views
There are problems. Ghavrel - 26/01/2011 07:14:29 PM 1270 Views
Properties not understood... Nargs - 26/01/2011 08:15:48 PM 1361 Views
So, a thin layer of cuendillar, with lot of padding? *NM* beetnemesis - 26/01/2011 09:52:18 PM 494 Views
Yep. My point is a thin layer of heartstone armor would lead to warrior organ jello. Ghavrel - 27/01/2011 09:01:34 AM 1168 Views

The spike was a later addition; the primary method of damage was blunt force trauma. *NM* Ghavrel - 28/01/2011 09:20:32 PM 470 Views
Plate armor is also a "late addition" HyogaRott - 03/02/2011 03:22:55 PM 1007 Views
Who says it would transmit the shockwaves? As you note below it violates many laws of physics. *NM* Cannoli - 02/02/2011 06:51:18 PM 498 Views

There is no shockwave HyogaRott - 03/02/2011 03:29:21 PM 1027 Views
Chain mail not difficult but long process. Nargs - 26/01/2011 08:21:04 PM 1540 Views
it's "sole" purpose *NM* newyorkersedai - 26/01/2011 11:21:19 PM 510 Views
a cookie for you! cheers *NM* Nargs - 27/01/2011 10:38:46 PM 458 Views
well there seems to be more effective ways of going about making armor darius_sedai - 28/01/2011 06:54:37 PM 1126 Views

Awesome. So take your thoughts and apply them to the situation. Ghavrel - 02/02/2011 08:10:05 PM 1088 Views
I know, but it's more fun to break physics with magic *NM* Myrdhyn - 02/02/2011 09:27:36 PM 510 Views
