It can not be directly effected by the OP HyogaRott Send a noteboard - 14/02/2012 09:08:57 PM
RJ never really explains how it interacts with the OP, but direct use of the OP against it just makes it "harder".

It would stand to reason that the armor would offer protection to some greater or lesser effect against direct OP assault (exploding heads from Ashaman, or Aes Sedai fireballs) and would offere some sort of protection from even indirect assault due to its natural properties (non-conductive, resistant to traumatic impact, etc.) Not saying that an individual channeller couldn't stop a swordsman in full cuendillar plate, helm, and shield 1 on 1, but a group that were so equipped would be much more resistant to the efforts of a channeler trying to stop them with the standard OP indirect effects used in battles.

Even the deathgates and arrows of fire that Rand and Logain used in the big trollock battle would be of greatly reduced effectiveness.

**side note for discussion/speculation, can the edge of a gateway cut cuendillar?

No, you go back and re-read what everyone said. LadyLorraine - 11/02/2012 11:02:47 PM 1276 Views
We're actually losing them by the troves. My apologies. *NM* Nargs - 12/02/2012 02:52:01 AM 638 Views

Agreed. Narg - 11/02/2012 06:24:36 PM 1132 Views
why not some plate armor. duh. *NM* Japhy - 12/02/2012 09:54:43 PM 692 Views
See? Nargs - 10/05/2012 04:35:25 PM 1155 Views
Possible, but hard. Gher - 11/02/2012 01:56:03 AM 1303 Views

Should be perfectly feasible TheUltimateReality - 11/02/2012 12:28:47 PM 1179 Views
Exactly HyogaRott - 11/02/2012 01:53:24 PM 1195 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 1267 Views
Ummm, Warders... HyogaRott - 14/02/2012 01:39:23 PM 1134 Views

which way is it? LadyLorraine - 15/02/2012 04:14:41 AM 1057 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 1192 Views
That's really not my point. LadyLorraine - 15/02/2012 03:21:15 PM 1071 Views
My point is HyogaRott - 15/02/2012 03:52:43 PM 1038 Views
Agree on all points *NM* Nargs - 15/02/2012 07:06:09 PM 719 Views
I never said that they could not be stopped HyogaRott - 15/02/2012 01:58:41 PM 1154 Views
I really think you're over-estimating how difficult it would be. LadyLorraine - 15/02/2012 03:22:44 PM 1137 Views
Not nesecarrily HyogaRott - 15/02/2012 04:01:45 PM 1101 Views
You just said that most of their tactics are indirect. LadyLorraine - 15/02/2012 05:44:22 PM 1207 Views
..and you are creating new tactics HyogaRott - 15/02/2012 06:32:02 PM 1083 Views
*shrug* I don't see it as some world-shaking action LadyLorraine - 15/02/2012 08:47:40 PM 1054 Views
But it is brand new, and if you're digging holes earth-shaking seems discriptive HyogaRott - 15/02/2012 09:14:12 PM 1102 Views

I disagree darius_sedai - 15/02/2012 04:43:33 PM 1106 Views
If armor is of no benefit... HyogaRott - 15/02/2012 06:19:30 PM 1055 Views
Missing my point ... Cuendillar armor is impractical not useless darius_sedai - 15/02/2012 07:00:48 PM 1223 Views
nope HyogaRott - 15/02/2012 07:21:03 PM 1058 Views

I'll happily amend my initial statement to "maybe even challeling ones" HyogaRott - 15/02/2012 07:03:48 PM 1072 Views
Fair enough. Fanatic-Templar - 16/02/2012 02:08:19 AM 1074 Views
what a lot of people are forgetting with their suggestions of plate armor... LadyLorraine - 13/02/2012 02:36:50 PM 1237 Views
Your understanding of how plate armor functions is in error HyogaRott - 14/02/2012 01:45:37 PM 1102 Views
I believe AND I was hoping you would go into the physics of it :p Nargs - 14/02/2012 11:01:18 PM 1075 Views
here ya go, I still skipped almost all of the math though. HyogaRott - 15/02/2012 03:00:09 PM 1206 Views
