Re: My thought was always about weapons. HyogaRott Send a noteboard - 14/02/2012 01:53:59 PM
OK, I'm confused, are you talking about making weapons of Cuendillar or armor? Armor is not a weapon and should, therefore, cause no problem for the A.S. to make. Too bad Eggy couldn't make a C-dar axe or sword, that'd be very handy, indeed.


less than you would think. A sword needs some flexibility to funciton properly (absorbing the shock from srikes and blocks). The only real benefit of a C sword would be no nicking or sharpening, but using one for long would be very dificult as your wrists and forearms would probably give out.

The cutting power of the blade is still restricted to the keeness of the edge (if you can take it molecular, then we have a whole new ballbame) and the strength/technique of the arm. Wolverine's "razor sharp" claws cutting through steel like it is butter simply because they are unbreakable is not how it would really work.

Agreed. Narg - 11/02/2012 06:24:36 PM 894 Views
why not some plate armor. duh. *NM* Japhy - 12/02/2012 09:54:43 PM 536 Views
See? Nargs - 10/05/2012 04:35:25 PM 897 Views

Should be perfectly feasible TheUltimateReality - 11/02/2012 12:28:47 PM 929 Views
Exactly HyogaRott - 11/02/2012 01:53:24 PM 956 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 1005 Views
Ummm, Warders... HyogaRott - 14/02/2012 01:39:23 PM 852 Views
How would Cuendillar armour help against channelers? Fanatic-Templar - 14/02/2012 07:58:58 PM 926 Views
It can not be directly effected by the OP HyogaRott - 14/02/2012 09:08:57 PM 831 Views

which way is it? LadyLorraine - 15/02/2012 04:14:41 AM 822 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 926 Views
That's really not my point. LadyLorraine - 15/02/2012 03:21:15 PM 798 Views
My point is HyogaRott - 15/02/2012 03:52:43 PM 790 Views
Agree on all points *NM* Nargs - 15/02/2012 07:06:09 PM 606 Views
I never said that they could not be stopped HyogaRott - 15/02/2012 01:58:41 PM 907 Views
I really think you're over-estimating how difficult it would be. LadyLorraine - 15/02/2012 03:22:44 PM 860 Views
Not nesecarrily HyogaRott - 15/02/2012 04:01:45 PM 851 Views
You just said that most of their tactics are indirect. LadyLorraine - 15/02/2012 05:44:22 PM 975 Views
..and you are creating new tactics HyogaRott - 15/02/2012 06:32:02 PM 799 Views
*shrug* I don't see it as some world-shaking action LadyLorraine - 15/02/2012 08:47:40 PM 813 Views
But it is brand new, and if you're digging holes earth-shaking seems discriptive HyogaRott - 15/02/2012 09:14:12 PM 846 Views

I disagree darius_sedai - 15/02/2012 04:43:33 PM 878 Views
If armor is of no benefit... HyogaRott - 15/02/2012 06:19:30 PM 761 Views
Missing my point ... Cuendillar armor is impractical not useless darius_sedai - 15/02/2012 07:00:48 PM 898 Views
nope HyogaRott - 15/02/2012 07:21:03 PM 787 Views

I'll happily amend my initial statement to "maybe even challeling ones" HyogaRott - 15/02/2012 07:03:48 PM 818 Views
Fair enough. Fanatic-Templar - 16/02/2012 02:08:19 AM 829 Views
what a lot of people are forgetting with their suggestions of plate armor... LadyLorraine - 13/02/2012 02:36:50 PM 986 Views
Your understanding of how plate armor functions is in error HyogaRott - 14/02/2012 01:45:37 PM 816 Views
I believe AND I was hoping you would go into the physics of it :p Nargs - 14/02/2012 11:01:18 PM 807 Views
here ya go, I still skipped almost all of the math though. HyogaRott - 15/02/2012 03:00:09 PM 852 Views
