Highstorm24 Posted January 15, 2022 Posted January 15, 2022 (edited) What do y'all think would happen to traditional Shardplate and it's wearer if they were caught in a Highstorm with no shelter? Sorry if this is answered in the books, I'm only halfway into WoK. This question has been bothering me though, and I couldn't find any answer in the forums. Edited January 15, 2022 by Highstorm24 1

Well, their chances of survival would be greatly higher than an ordinary person caught without shelter, but it really depends on how lucky they are. If a big enough boulder hits them, or if they get blown off a tall enough cliff, they would die. They could be blown around, but their increased weight would help them with that, and they probably wouldn't have to worry about breaking their skull. They'd also be fine if lightning hit them. So basically, they would have a much better chance of surviving, but going out in a highstorm without protection is never completely safe. 5

Unless you’re Dalinar, then you laugh at Highstorms as you retrieve your favorite knife. Edited January 16, 2022 by Eldergod3 4

Wandering Shade Posted January 22, 2022 Posted January 22, 2022 Wouldn't the gemstones that power the Shardplate also be refreshed during the storm? That would, on top of the incredibly increased resilience of just being in Shardplate, really let you survive well in a Highstorm. To summarize, you'd definitely be more okay than if you didn't have any. I'd say a good 60% chance of survival, possibly higher. 2
