Real Shardplate?

[Rand al'Thor]

So, as I was traversing the internet, I come across a article on a man-based power suit (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hybrid_assistive_limb)that gives the wearer many times there natural strength, and would allow even a elderly/sickly man or woman to walk and lift heave objects.

...and, just like most of you you, Shardplate entered my mind long before any real-world practical applications. It would, for one, allow someone to wear full plate mail and be hardly slowed down. Even a replica of a Shardblade, unwieldy in the real world, could be held with ease.

But, of course, that power suit cost roughly the same as a small army of brigemen, or about $60,000. Since iv noted a shortage of highlords on the forums, ill assume that we wont see a modern Shardbearer any time soon... But its something neat to think on, isn't it?

Yea I've seen a few of those models, the military has some really amazing stuff at the moment.

Technically, that would be power armor because it's technological in nature. Currently, there are apparently battery and cooling issues.

Those suits kick such butt. Literally, even.
