why not some plate armor. duh. *NM* Japhy Send a noteboard - 12/02/2012 09:54:43 PM
But I'll recap the general jist of what was said:

-Cuendillar is presumably completely inflexible, therefore we'd need to make it similar to chain-mail, i.e. links, to make small pieces that are flexible with respect to each other.

-This appears difficult, because the individual cuendillar pieces could not be touching when merged together (although I'm sure they could simply interleave flows of Air and it wouldn't be all that hard).

-The armor might not provide that much protection to hard hits, but it would definitely help protect against punctures.

No, you go back and re-read what everyone said. LadyLorraine - 11/02/2012 11:02:47 PM 1077 Views
We're actually losing them by the troves. My apologies. *NM* Nargs - 12/02/2012 02:52:01 AM 524 Views

Should be perfectly feasible TheUltimateReality - 11/02/2012 12:28:47 PM 973 Views
Exactly HyogaRott - 11/02/2012 01:53:24 PM 1003 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 1056 Views
Ummm, Warders... HyogaRott - 14/02/2012 01:39:23 PM 904 Views

It can not be directly effected by the OP HyogaRott - 14/02/2012 09:08:57 PM 893 Views

which way is it? LadyLorraine - 15/02/2012 04:14:41 AM 871 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 965 Views
That's really not my point. LadyLorraine - 15/02/2012 03:21:15 PM 847 Views
My point is HyogaRott - 15/02/2012 03:52:43 PM 825 Views
Agree on all points *NM* Nargs - 15/02/2012 07:06:09 PM 625 Views
I never said that they could not be stopped HyogaRott - 15/02/2012 01:58:41 PM 954 Views
I really think you're over-estimating how difficult it would be. LadyLorraine - 15/02/2012 03:22:44 PM 909 Views
Not nesecarrily HyogaRott - 15/02/2012 04:01:45 PM 899 Views
You just said that most of their tactics are indirect. LadyLorraine - 15/02/2012 05:44:22 PM 1014 Views
..and you are creating new tactics HyogaRott - 15/02/2012 06:32:02 PM 850 Views
*shrug* I don't see it as some world-shaking action LadyLorraine - 15/02/2012 08:47:40 PM 843 Views
But it is brand new, and if you're digging holes earth-shaking seems discriptive HyogaRott - 15/02/2012 09:14:12 PM 885 Views
Not accurate darius_sedai - 15/02/2012 03:54:00 PM 964 Views

I disagree darius_sedai - 15/02/2012 04:43:33 PM 914 Views
If armor is of no benefit... HyogaRott - 15/02/2012 06:19:30 PM 819 Views
Missing my point ... Cuendillar armor is impractical not useless darius_sedai - 15/02/2012 07:00:48 PM 945 Views
nope HyogaRott - 15/02/2012 07:21:03 PM 830 Views

I'll happily amend my initial statement to "maybe even challeling ones" HyogaRott - 15/02/2012 07:03:48 PM 868 Views
Fair enough. Fanatic-Templar - 16/02/2012 02:08:19 AM 864 Views
what a lot of people are forgetting with their suggestions of plate armor... LadyLorraine - 13/02/2012 02:36:50 PM 1023 Views
Your understanding of how plate armor functions is in error HyogaRott - 14/02/2012 01:45:37 PM 861 Views
I believe AND I was hoping you would go into the physics of it :p Nargs - 14/02/2012 11:01:18 PM 851 Views
here ya go, I still skipped almost all of the math though. HyogaRott - 15/02/2012 03:00:09 PM 923 Views
