Your understanding of how plate armor functions is in error HyogaRott Send a noteboard - 14/02/2012 01:45:37 PM
The plates deforing is what is called a "bad thing". The armor works by preventing the concentrated impact of the weapon from reaching the soft body underneath. This is accomplished by several means, none of which include denting the armor. The short (and incomplete) description is that it takes the impact from the weapon, and spreads the force across the surface area of the plate. If the plate deforms, the force is no longer spread. I can go into the physics of it, or you can just believe me.

Functional Cuendillar Armor: Possible or impossible? Nargs - 10/02/2012 04:45:34 PM 1672 Views
You posted this exact same question one year ago, with a lot of discussion Marshall - 10/02/2012 06:29:28 PM 1143 Views
You busted him! I wonder why he would post it again... *NM* Dark Knight - 10/02/2012 07:25:47 PM 594 Views

No, you go back and re-read what everyone said. LadyLorraine - 11/02/2012 11:02:47 PM 1134 Views
We're actually losing them by the troves. My apologies. *NM* Nargs - 12/02/2012 02:52:01 AM 547 Views

Agreed. Narg - 11/02/2012 06:24:36 PM 1002 Views
why not some plate armor. duh. *NM* Japhy - 12/02/2012 09:54:43 PM 591 Views
See? Nargs - 10/05/2012 04:35:25 PM 1012 Views
Possible, but hard. Gher - 11/02/2012 01:56:03 AM 1166 Views

Should be perfectly feasible TheUltimateReality - 11/02/2012 12:28:47 PM 1049 Views
Exactly HyogaRott - 11/02/2012 01:53:24 PM 1048 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 1137 Views
Ummm, Warders... HyogaRott - 14/02/2012 01:39:23 PM 989 Views
How would Cuendillar armour help against channelers? Fanatic-Templar - 14/02/2012 07:58:58 PM 1039 Views
It can not be directly effected by the OP HyogaRott - 14/02/2012 09:08:57 PM 937 Views

which way is it? LadyLorraine - 15/02/2012 04:14:41 AM 922 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 1033 Views
That's really not my point. LadyLorraine - 15/02/2012 03:21:15 PM 923 Views
My point is HyogaRott - 15/02/2012 03:52:43 PM 895 Views
Agree on all points *NM* Nargs - 15/02/2012 07:06:09 PM 650 Views
I never said that they could not be stopped HyogaRott - 15/02/2012 01:58:41 PM 1007 Views
I really think you're over-estimating how difficult it would be. LadyLorraine - 15/02/2012 03:22:44 PM 977 Views
Not nesecarrily HyogaRott - 15/02/2012 04:01:45 PM 962 Views
You just said that most of their tactics are indirect. LadyLorraine - 15/02/2012 05:44:22 PM 1072 Views
..and you are creating new tactics HyogaRott - 15/02/2012 06:32:02 PM 944 Views
*shrug* I don't see it as some world-shaking action LadyLorraine - 15/02/2012 08:47:40 PM 903 Views
But it is brand new, and if you're digging holes earth-shaking seems discriptive HyogaRott - 15/02/2012 09:14:12 PM 955 Views
Not accurate darius_sedai - 15/02/2012 03:54:00 PM 1028 Views
You are thinking too far inside the box HyogaRott - 15/02/2012 04:23:28 PM 1002 Views
I disagree darius_sedai - 15/02/2012 04:43:33 PM 966 Views
If armor is of no benefit... HyogaRott - 15/02/2012 06:19:30 PM 892 Views
Missing my point ... Cuendillar armor is impractical not useless darius_sedai - 15/02/2012 07:00:48 PM 1032 Views
nope HyogaRott - 15/02/2012 07:21:03 PM 905 Views

Re: Maybe, maybe not Fanatic-Templar - 15/02/2012 06:11:42 PM 1072 Views
I'll happily amend my initial statement to "maybe even challeling ones" HyogaRott - 15/02/2012 07:03:48 PM 931 Views
Fair enough. Fanatic-Templar - 16/02/2012 02:08:19 AM 922 Views

I believe AND I was hoping you would go into the physics of it :p Nargs - 14/02/2012 11:01:18 PM 908 Views
here ya go, I still skipped almost all of the math though. HyogaRott - 15/02/2012 03:00:09 PM 1029 Views
