'''Shardplate''' is an ancient and magical {{book ref|sa1|prologue}} type of full-body armor found on [[Roshar]]. Infused with the power of [[Stormlight]], it enhances the strength, dexterity, and speed of the wearer.{{book ref|sa1|12}} The precise origin of ShardplatesShardplate has been lost over time,{{book ref|sa2|16}}, butthough itsome is believedbelieve that theyit werewas a gift from the [[Almighty]]{{cite|Oathbringer#86?}}.

A set of Shardplate is constructed of individual pieces that, when assembled, protect the entire body. There are no gaps between sections of the armor, only increasingly small overlapping platesPlates.{{book ref|sa1|26}} Shardplate helms have visors with eye slits that may be lifted up to expose the face. Although similar in appearance, each individual suit of Shardplate has a unique look{{book ref|sa1|6}}{{book ref|sa2|51}} and, because it conforms to the shape of its wearer,{{book ref|sa1|68}}{{book ref|sa2|51}} the same suit may appear unique on different individuals. The unfinishednatural color of Shardplate is slate-grey,{{book ref|sa1|12}} similar to unfinished steel.{{book ref|sa2|16}} In current times, however, it is aextremely common practice to change the appearance of one's Shardplate by painting it, or adorning it with decorative details or even gemstones--all [[Alethi]] [[Shardwielding|Shardbearers]] except [[Dalinar]] do so.{{book ref|sa1|12}}

Shardplate worn by Radiants of the past is said to have shone brightly with the glow of Stormlight and with glowing glyphs.{{book ref|sa1|19}}{{book ref|sa1|26}}{{book ref|sa2|4}} It also appears likely that Radiants were able to control their Shardplate with more precision -- for example, Dalinar notes several times with perplexion that both the [[Starfalls Windrunner|male Windrunner's]] and female Stoneward's Plate in one of his visions abruptly change from being helmed to unhelmed.{{book ref|sa1|19}}

The augmented abilities of Shardplate are fueled by Stormlight from gemstones attached to the inside of the armor. AfterCracking asections timeof the armor causes Stormlight to leak out; eventually, the Stormlight can be depleted entirely, rendering the armor useless and the wearer immobile. In situations of extreme stress, the gemstones may crack.{{book ref|sa1|54}} Ten gemstones, larger than broams, power every set of Plate.{{book ref|sa1|54}} Five are beneath the breastplate{{book ref|sa1|prologue}}, and one is in each sabaton.{{book ref|sa1|26}} If worn by a Surgebinder, the platePlate will automatically feed off their Stormlight to power itself.{{book ref|sa2|57}}

Shardplate provides protection from impact caused by a weapon or from a fall.{{book ref|sa1|12}} The individual wearing the platePlate is able to feel impacts from within the armor, but their force is greatly reduced. The sensation of touch, however, is transferred through the fingers of the gauntlets, allowing the wearer to feel fine detail.{{book ref|sa1|69}}

Shardplate differs from ordinary armor in that it can stop blows from [[Shardblade]]s. This capacity is not unlimited, as shardweapons can still crack and even break the platePlate with repeated blows. But Shardplate armor is one of the few materials that can block or resist a Shardblade strike to any degree, apart from another Shardblade or a [[Halfhalf-shard]].

Shardplate does not dent or bend. Instead, sections of the armor can crack after heavy or repeated impact and will eventually fail.{{book ref|sa1|prologue}} When a section of the armor fails, it will explode into bits of molten metal. Damaged sections will leak stormlightStormlight. While enough leaks will deplete the gemstones and cause the armor to lock up, individual leaks, even large ones, will eventually "seal over" on their own, preventing further loss of stormlightStormlight, even if the damage hasn't fully healed yet.{{book ref|sa1|15}}

It provides the ability to jump great distances,{{book ref|sa1|26}} heave objects of great weight, and run at high speeds. The strength that is granted by Shardplate is such that Dalinar Kholin wasis able to catch a chasmfiend's swinging foreclaw, and hold the creature at bay long enough for Adolin to further weaken it.{{book ref|sa1|13}} The extra support of Shardplate can assist the wearer in overcoming physical injuries that might otherwise leave him or her incapacitated.{{book ref|sa2|i|4}} WearingShardbearers Shardplate requiresrequire extensive training to be able to control this strength and move smoothly without damaging everyday objects.{{book ref|sa1|12}}{{book ref|sa2|44}}

Agility and dexterity are increased by Shardplate. A person armored in Shard acquires faster reflexes and is more responsive in battle.{{book ref|sa1|58}}

The Shardplate helmet has a face shield with a horizontal eye slit for visibility.

Shardplate has the ability to use Stormlight to regenerate itself when damaged.{{book ref|sa1|15}} If sections of a suit of armor are destroyed or abandoned, they can be regenerated later by using Stormlight from the suit's gemstones. Once the Shardplate regenerates an abandoned piece, the previous piece will crumble to dust.{{book ref|sa1|68}} Repairing a heavily-damaged set of Shardplate can be costly, as it commonly cracks the gemstones used during the process.{{book ref|sa1|56}} Through some unknown method, common spheres can also be used to repair Plate.

Shardplate protects the user from Surgebinding. It is not possible to use any lashings against someone armored in Shardplate. It is also not possible for a wielder of an Honorblade to Surgebind while wearing platePlate, due to interference from the gemstones.{{book ref|sa1|prologue}} At least some of the original Knights Radiant were able to Surgebind while wearing their armor.{{book ref|sa1|19}}

As the technology used to create Shardplate has been lost, a limited number of suits exist. The only way to acquire a set of Shardplate is from another person. This can be done through battlefield combat, by dueling,{{book ref|sa2|5}} by borrowing it from the owner or by inheritance.{{book ref|sa1|12}} It is common for Shardbearers to loan their Plate to others. Even the King's own shardplateShardplate can be borrowed at a heavy price.{{book ref|sa1|58}}

Because of its weight, assistanceShardplate iscannot requiredbe todonned donwithout Shardplateassistance. The Shardbearer often has a team of armorers to assist with putting the armor on.{{book ref|sa2|14}} The armor must be applied from the ground up, starting with the sabatons, or the wearer would be unable to support its weight.{{book ref|sa1|26}} Regular clothing, boots, and additional padding are worn underneath the Plate. When applied, each individual piece of Shardplate tightens to fit itself to the contours of the wearer.{{book ref|sa1|26}}{{book ref|sa2|14}}

Removal of Shardplate is done in pieces as; the wearer can mentally commandscommand each section to release and fall away. Damaged sections can be shed during battle. In order to eliminate the need to remove one's entire set of Shardplate during extended battle, other soldiers provide assistance with the toileting needs of the warrior in Plate. Sometimes, however, such assistance is not available, and Shardbearers have been known to relieve themselves inside their armor.{{book ref|sa2|49}}

Individual sections of Plate can be cracked to the point of failure. Upon failure, the piece of armor explodes into bits of molten metal, leaving that area of the warrior exposed. TheA Shardbearer can remain in combat with some pieces of armor missing., Destroyingbut, for example, destroying a [[wikipedia:greave|greave]] can incapacitate a Shardbearer by rendering him or herthem unable to support the armor's weight.{{book ref|sa1|58}}{{book ref|sa1|68}} Also, the breastplate is a central support structure for Shardplate; destroying the breastplate alone will cause the armor to stop functioning fully, making it difficult to move the limbs.{{book ref|sa1|69}} It is possible to stand up from the ground with a broken breastplate, but the maneuver requires some experience with Plate.{{book ref|sa2|14}}

There are also a number of tactics that can be used by prepared enemies against Shardplate. The armor is also incredibly heavy.; Thoughthough it will protect the wearer from a fall, the fall can still damage the Plate. One tactic used against Shardbearers is to putforce them to fall a great distance, either by directly pushing them over an edge{{book ref|sa2|84}} or by putting them in a position where their great weight, or perhaps some other mechanism, will cause whatever they're walking on to fall apart, dropping the Shardbearer.{{book ref|sa1|prologue}}{{book ref|sa3|11}}

Another common tactic is to bind the Shardbearer with hooks or ropes. Though a Shardbearer's strength is enhanced, enough people holding him back with hooks or ropes can slow him down enough for blows to be struck; ropes can also be strung horizontally to attempt to trip the Shardbearer.{{book ref|sa2|82}}{{book ref|sa3|26}}
