CrazyRioter she/her Posted March 13, 2019 Posted March 13, 2019 Anything that you need to hold a lot of weight and not break.
Caevita he/him Posted March 13, 2019 Posted March 13, 2019 This is actually really making me wonder though, because Shards are completely rigid. I'm pretty sure that that makes them really bad at some things, which is kinda funny for what's supposed to be the ultimate material. A Shardbat, for example, would actually just be the biggest letdown, since a lot of the force you can hit a baseball with comes from the bat's ability to deform, then quickly snap back to its original shape.

I forgot that Shardblades seem to have no problem with it. Which... is weird. Shards are weird. The fact that Plates and Blades do not share physical properties is weird. Anyway, thank you for the correction!

Anyway, thank you for the correction! I'd be willing to bet that has something to do with what they actually are made of. The Blades need to sync with the user and become more attuned to their needs, making them able to flex and bend without breaking. Plate doesn't need any of that. If the lesser spren vs higher spren Plate vs Blade theory is correct (I'd buy it), it might be because of the difference in intelligence of the spren.

Funny, those differences are part of why I don't agree with the spren theory.

I'd like a shard bridge, but I think that's too big for them. But super light, super strong, and the spren could even create hooks on the end to dig into the rock when it's placed to prevent it from being kicked down. 1
NoiseSpren he/him Posted March 14, 2019 Posted March 14, 2019 (edited) Shardgolfball. Shardgolfclub. PS: play only with shardplate on! Balls fly extra far, high and fast! No surges allowed!!! >Club of gentlemen shardbearers and Dalinar's friends< Edited March 14, 2019 by NoiseSpren
WhiteEmporer Posted March 15, 2019 Posted March 15, 2019 Shard sports paraphernalia, which can change logos depending on which team is winning.
Turin Turambar Posted March 15, 2019 Posted March 15, 2019 shardblade shardplate (forming the shardblade into the form of shardplate) I know it's ridiculous, but why not?
Karger he/him Posted March 15, 2019 Posted March 15, 2019 (edited) Because you couldn't have joints and would just fall over? Edited March 15, 2019 by Karger
NoiseSpren he/him Posted March 15, 2019 Posted March 15, 2019 So, there are several thunderclasts beating you down. You just summon your blade as a plate. You cannot move but you are conserved and waiting for rescue...
