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.

Cuendillar Armor - 26/01/2011 06:26:03 PM 1610 Views
We had a lengthy discussion of this on wotmania a few years ago... - 26/01/2011 06:46:27 PM 1113 Views
There are problems. - 26/01/2011 07:14:29 PM 996 Views
Properties not understood... - 26/01/2011 08:15:48 PM 1088 Views
So, a thin layer of cuendillar, with lot of padding? *NM* - 26/01/2011 09:52:18 PM 351 Views

The spike was a later addition; the primary method of damage was blunt force trauma. *NM* - 28/01/2011 09:20:32 PM 350 Views
Plate armor is also a "late addition" - 03/02/2011 03:22:55 PM 727 Views
Who says it would transmit the shockwaves? As you note below it violates many laws of physics. *NM* - 02/02/2011 06:51:18 PM 367 Views

Chain mail not difficult but long process. - 26/01/2011 08:21:04 PM 1249 Views
it's "sole" purpose *NM* - 26/01/2011 11:21:19 PM 383 Views
a cookie for you! cheers *NM* - 27/01/2011 10:38:46 PM 340 Views
well there seems to be more effective ways of going about making armor - 28/01/2011 06:54:37 PM 826 Views

Awesome. So take your thoughts and apply them to the situation. - 02/02/2011 08:10:05 PM 803 Views
I know, but it's more fun to break physics with magic *NM* - 02/02/2011 09:27:36 PM 373 Views
