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 1255 Views
We're actually losing them by the troves. My apologies. *NM* Nargs - 12/02/2012 02:52:01 AM 615 Views

Agreed. Narg - 11/02/2012 06:24:36 PM 1116 Views
why not some plate armor. duh. *NM* Japhy - 12/02/2012 09:54:43 PM 660 Views
See? Nargs - 10/05/2012 04:35:25 PM 1132 Views
Possible, but hard. Gher - 11/02/2012 01:56:03 AM 1286 Views

Should be perfectly feasible TheUltimateReality - 11/02/2012 12:28:47 PM 1161 Views
Exactly HyogaRott - 11/02/2012 01:53:24 PM 1172 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 1246 Views
Ummm, Warders... HyogaRott - 14/02/2012 01:39:23 PM 1110 Views

which way is it? LadyLorraine - 15/02/2012 04:14:41 AM 1035 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 1153 Views
That's really not my point. LadyLorraine - 15/02/2012 03:21:15 PM 1051 Views
My point is HyogaRott - 15/02/2012 03:52:43 PM 1016 Views
Agree on all points *NM* Nargs - 15/02/2012 07:06:09 PM 707 Views
I never said that they could not be stopped HyogaRott - 15/02/2012 01:58:41 PM 1131 Views
I really think you're over-estimating how difficult it would be. LadyLorraine - 15/02/2012 03:22:44 PM 1103 Views
Not nesecarrily HyogaRott - 15/02/2012 04:01:45 PM 1083 Views
You just said that most of their tactics are indirect. LadyLorraine - 15/02/2012 05:44:22 PM 1188 Views
..and you are creating new tactics HyogaRott - 15/02/2012 06:32:02 PM 1063 Views
*shrug* I don't see it as some world-shaking action LadyLorraine - 15/02/2012 08:47:40 PM 1023 Views
But it is brand new, and if you're digging holes earth-shaking seems discriptive HyogaRott - 15/02/2012 09:14:12 PM 1083 Views

I disagree darius_sedai - 15/02/2012 04:43:33 PM 1085 Views
If armor is of no benefit... HyogaRott - 15/02/2012 06:19:30 PM 1028 Views
Missing my point ... Cuendillar armor is impractical not useless darius_sedai - 15/02/2012 07:00:48 PM 1176 Views
nope HyogaRott - 15/02/2012 07:21:03 PM 1026 Views

I'll happily amend my initial statement to "maybe even challeling ones" HyogaRott - 15/02/2012 07:03:48 PM 1042 Views
Fair enough. Fanatic-Templar - 16/02/2012 02:08:19 AM 1047 Views
what a lot of people are forgetting with their suggestions of plate armor... LadyLorraine - 13/02/2012 02:36:50 PM 1211 Views
Your understanding of how plate armor functions is in error HyogaRott - 14/02/2012 01:45:37 PM 1059 Views
I believe AND I was hoping you would go into the physics of it :p Nargs - 14/02/2012 11:01:18 PM 1053 Views
here ya go, I still skipped almost all of the math though. HyogaRott - 15/02/2012 03:00:09 PM 1171 Views
