Maffu17 Posted April 21, 2014 Report Share Posted April 21, 2014 Have I ever mentioned my theory about what would happen were you to attached Shardplate onto a Chasmfiend? I don't really have one... but i'm assuming that it would be possible due to the plate autosizing to it's wearer, and judging by the helmet Kaladin wore becoming more glove-like when he put it on his hand, i'm guessing the wearing of Shardplate isn't restricted to humanoids.

Argent Posted April 21, 2014 Report Share Posted April 21, 2014 Because of how dependent cosmere magic is on belief and expectation, I doubt you could fit Plate on non-humanoids. It's armor for humans. Plus, it's one thing for a suit of Shardplate to adjust itself a few inches here and there, but growing (or shrinking) several times seems unlikely.

digitalbusker Posted April 25, 2014 Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 My money's on "tries its best to adapt, but runs out of stormlight or hits the limits of its malleability well before it fits the chasmfiend." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoser Posted April 25, 2014 Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 I ain't puttin' no Shardplate on no live Chasmfiend! No way! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadiantNights Posted April 27, 2014 Report Share Posted April 27, 2014 Shardplate would have to stretch pretty far to fit a parshendi in multiple forms though wouldn't it? Instead of a chasmfiend in shardplate what about a ryshadium or an axehound or best of all a whitespine in plate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will grant there are marked differences between nimbleform and warform, for instance, but that doesn't seem comparable to completely different body structures like chasmfiends or whitespines.For what it's worth though, your comment has made me wonder: was there Plate for Ryshadium? There's no mention of it, but it seems that if Ryshadium bore KRs into battle, then they perhaps needed their own protection as well... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swimmingly Posted April 27, 2014 Report Share Posted April 27, 2014 If there was, it would be an important clue the Plate wasn't just the product of the Oaths like the Blade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
