Should be perfectly feasible TheUltimateReality Send a noteboard - 11/02/2012 12:28:47 PM
Full plate armor consists of multiple armor plates connected together either with metal connectors or leather toggles. Converting each plate individually once shaped and then connecting them into a suit as normal shouldn't pose any problem at all.

As with any armor, you would still need the padding layers beneath the armor shell, something that has been forgotten by many conventioneers dressing up as their favorite character. The padding absorbs the shock and the armor absorbs the penetration of the blow.

Using cuendillar as armor would be as effective as steel against sword, axe and hammer blows and much more effective against arrow and crossbow bolts as the head wouldn't penetrate the armor.

No, you go back and re-read what everyone said. LadyLorraine - 11/02/2012 11:02:47 PM 958 Views
We're actually losing them by the troves. My apologies. *NM* Nargs - 12/02/2012 02:52:01 AM 459 Views

Agreed. Narg - 11/02/2012 06:24:36 PM 835 Views
why not some plate armor. duh. *NM* Japhy - 12/02/2012 09:54:43 PM 498 Views
See? Nargs - 10/05/2012 04:35:25 PM 818 Views
Possible, but hard. Gher - 11/02/2012 01:56:03 AM 963 Views

Exactly HyogaRott - 11/02/2012 01:53:24 PM 889 Views
Certainly possible, but given the effort most women have to put toward changing even a small item darius_sedai - 12/02/2012 05:10:35 AM 937 Views
Ummm, Warders... HyogaRott - 14/02/2012 01:39:23 PM 782 Views

It can not be directly effected by the OP HyogaRott - 14/02/2012 09:08:57 PM 744 Views

which way is it? LadyLorraine - 15/02/2012 04:14:41 AM 749 Views
Actually I'd call the Seanchan tactically inferior to the White Tower in using the power HyogaRott - 15/02/2012 01:48:55 PM 861 Views
That's really not my point. LadyLorraine - 15/02/2012 03:21:15 PM 740 Views
My point is HyogaRott - 15/02/2012 03:52:43 PM 729 Views
Agree on all points *NM* Nargs - 15/02/2012 07:06:09 PM 574 Views
I never said that they could not be stopped HyogaRott - 15/02/2012 01:58:41 PM 846 Views
I really think you're over-estimating how difficult it would be. LadyLorraine - 15/02/2012 03:22:44 PM 790 Views
Not nesecarrily HyogaRott - 15/02/2012 04:01:45 PM 795 Views
You just said that most of their tactics are indirect. LadyLorraine - 15/02/2012 05:44:22 PM 903 Views
..and you are creating new tactics HyogaRott - 15/02/2012 06:32:02 PM 738 Views
*shrug* I don't see it as some world-shaking action LadyLorraine - 15/02/2012 08:47:40 PM 756 Views
But it is brand new, and if you're digging holes earth-shaking seems discriptive HyogaRott - 15/02/2012 09:14:12 PM 778 Views
Not accurate darius_sedai - 15/02/2012 03:54:00 PM 857 Views

I disagree darius_sedai - 15/02/2012 04:43:33 PM 790 Views
If armor is of no benefit... HyogaRott - 15/02/2012 06:19:30 PM 697 Views
Missing my point ... Cuendillar armor is impractical not useless darius_sedai - 15/02/2012 07:00:48 PM 805 Views
nope HyogaRott - 15/02/2012 07:21:03 PM 717 Views

I'll happily amend my initial statement to "maybe even challeling ones" HyogaRott - 15/02/2012 07:03:48 PM 750 Views
Fair enough. Fanatic-Templar - 16/02/2012 02:08:19 AM 751 Views
what a lot of people are forgetting with their suggestions of plate armor... LadyLorraine - 13/02/2012 02:36:50 PM 921 Views
Your understanding of how plate armor functions is in error HyogaRott - 14/02/2012 01:45:37 PM 738 Views
I believe AND I was hoping you would go into the physics of it :p Nargs - 14/02/2012 11:01:18 PM 729 Views
here ya go, I still skipped almost all of the math though. HyogaRott - 15/02/2012 03:00:09 PM 789 Views
