That wasn't a very helpful answer, Slash.

Shatter point is the idea that objects have critical points that are crucial to their survival. For example, in a deck of cards removing a single card could bring the entire thing down. Another example is the game of Jenga (or Tumbling Tower, if you have a knockoff brand). Removing some pieces is not catastrophic, but taking a keystone piece is. Shatterpoint is the ability to see those keystone pieces and the capacity to use them.

Like my name says, I'm retired.

I'll try to pass the torch to you though, you may one day be close to my level of "helpfulness". Then I'll be proud to call you my succesful apprentice.
