Alright, before this becomes too big a debate, let me rephrase my points earlier.
1: The steel armor would give her some protection against an impact there.
To add to this point:
I'd probably say Shivani can power through a kick to the groin like she could power through a blow to the kidneys. Yeah, it's painful, but it's not like she hasn't faced worse before. Multiple kicks would probably do some serious damage, though.
She's taken an arrow through both cheeks, most of her arms and legs, a couple in actually non-lethal places on her torso. The only "lethal" (because video game logic) arrow shots I ever saw on her were at the points where she actually died and I had to restart from my last save point.
2: I had thought the kick was to her
chest. Now, I can go and edit it now that I know it's not, if people on Skype will stop bugging me to see if my brother's on.
3: Before thinking of the energy behind the Thu'ums, all I had thought they were was words that were weapons.
A good counter-argument:
<Snipped quote by Belwicket>
Also Thu'ums presumably have a cooldown because you're exhausting a large amount of energy when you manipulate the state of reality.
My counter:
Shivani has been at this for years and, through intense training, could have lessened most of the cooldowns in the AU she's from. However, because it's not in her CS, GM's call.
