119's "If your going to tattoo a centaur on your arm in two parts, do the human half first!" Edges


 * Close Range: While the Anelace could be deadly at close range, the boulder can be thrown and has enough force to cause fatal blunt trauma even with the armor. Edge: Centaur


 * Mid Range: The Broadsword can cause sharp force trauma, cutting deep into flesh with slashing and thrusting attacks, whereas the club is only capable of blunt trauma, and is less likely to kill. Edge: Knight


 * Long Range: The thrown rocks are much smaller than the boulders, and will likely be stopped by the shield, as well as the armor and the padding underneath. The Lance, on the other hand, has a powerful thrust capable of impaling a man (or the human part of the centaur. Edge: Knight.


 * Extreme Range: The crossbow is powerful, but useless on horseback. The composite bow is capable of being fired accurately from horseback (or presumably by a running centaur) with great accuracy. While some composite bows made by the Arabs and Mongols, for instance, could pierce armor, the ancient Greek composite bow might have different composition (fewer layers, less flexible materials), meaning less stopping power. Still, I'll call this one Even.

X-Factors: The centaur takes speed and probably maneuverability, as is man an horse in one, rather than a man riding a horse, so the two halves will be better coordinated. The knight, on the other hand has plate armor and shield, not to mention greater training and weapons.

Overall Winner: Knight.
