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.

Agreed. Narg - 11/02/2012 06:24:36 PM 1064 Views
why not some plate armor. duh. *NM* Japhy - 12/02/2012 09:54:43 PM 618 Views

Exactly HyogaRott - 11/02/2012 01:53:24 PM 1113 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 1196 Views

which way is it? LadyLorraine - 15/02/2012 04:14:41 AM 981 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 1096 Views
That's really not my point. LadyLorraine - 15/02/2012 03:21:15 PM 991 Views
My point is HyogaRott - 15/02/2012 03:52:43 PM 963 Views
Agree on all points *NM* Nargs - 15/02/2012 07:06:09 PM 676 Views
I never said that they could not be stopped HyogaRott - 15/02/2012 01:58:41 PM 1072 Views
I really think you're over-estimating how difficult it would be. LadyLorraine - 15/02/2012 03:22:44 PM 1045 Views
Not nesecarrily HyogaRott - 15/02/2012 04:01:45 PM 1028 Views
You just said that most of their tactics are indirect. LadyLorraine - 15/02/2012 05:44:22 PM 1131 Views
..and you are creating new tactics HyogaRott - 15/02/2012 06:32:02 PM 1006 Views
*shrug* I don't see it as some world-shaking action LadyLorraine - 15/02/2012 08:47:40 PM 958 Views
But it is brand new, and if you're digging holes earth-shaking seems discriptive HyogaRott - 15/02/2012 09:14:12 PM 1027 Views

I'll happily amend my initial statement to "maybe even challeling ones" HyogaRott - 15/02/2012 07:03:48 PM 990 Views
Fair enough. Fanatic-Templar - 16/02/2012 02:08:19 AM 988 Views

Your understanding of how plate armor functions is in error HyogaRott - 14/02/2012 01:45:37 PM 1007 Views
I believe AND I was hoping you would go into the physics of it :p Nargs - 14/02/2012 11:01:18 PM 973 Views
here ya go, I still skipped almost all of the math though. HyogaRott - 15/02/2012 03:00:09 PM 1097 Views
