Staterus Posted May 28, 2017 Report Share Posted May 28, 2017 One of the examples given for how Cohesion could be used is that the user could leave his handprint in a table. This could presumably affect the living. But could this affect shardplate or blade? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yata Posted May 28, 2017 Report Share Posted May 28, 2017 I really doubt it (but without explic information) for a couple of reasons: 1) Invested Objects are hard to affect and Blade and Plate are really high Invested. 2) The Plate auto-repair itself so probably it would return to its original shape if you manage to change it. The Blade will return to its original to the next summoning 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calderis Posted May 28, 2017 Report Share Posted May 28, 2017 I think this is one of those situations where it could, but the amount of investiture needed to over the investiture in the target would make it prohibitively difficult. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Landis963 Posted June 26, 2017 Report Share Posted June 26, 2017 I've said this before, but Cohesion reduces any non-Shard material to putty in your hands. The applications, in combat or otherwise, are numerous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red032 Posted July 13, 2017 Report Share Posted July 13, 2017 You are only thinking about decreasing cohesion. Think about increasing cohesion. On inanimate obects it would increase its resistance. I can see a highly cohesion invested sword acting like a second class shard. Or a invested cohesion shield acting like a half-shard. On a group of people, it would rise morale adn/or interpessoal strenght. On an army, it would rise coordination making them a LOT more effective. Any more ideas? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The few things we've heard on cohesion all seem to deal with the physical structure of objects. If it can be used to effect interpersonal cohesion, that strengthens the ability massively.

kiapet Posted July 13, 2017 Report Share Posted July 13, 2017 Lashings don't work on someone wearing Shardplate; I imagine other surges would face similar limitations Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Kelkamer Posted July 27, 2018 Report Share Posted July 27, 2018 I wish we knew enough to talk more about cohesion.. any theory updates on cohesion or Willshapers since Oathbringer came out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoiseSpren Posted July 28, 2018 Report Share Posted July 28, 2018 Brandon said that cohesion is much more difficult on an invested object than lashing that object. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazyRioter Posted July 28, 2018 Report Share Posted July 28, 2018 Presumably because you are affecting it's structure rather than just it's movement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
