BG1's "Hard to Stay Stealthy on the High Seas" Edges:

Daggers: The naval dirk is mainly used for stabbing/thrusting whereas the tanto can stab as well as slash

EDGE: Ninja

Swords: Cutlass is more versatile at being deadly than the wakizashi.

EDGE: Pirate

Other melee: The Kusarigama may be heavy but it packs a lot of punch, is more versatile and has range.

EDGE: Ninja

Mid Range: The boarding pike has a blade and thus can be lethal once the pirate closes the distance where the shurikens and fukiya are practically useless. However, the fukiya can be accurate and the shurikens, while not deadly, have the potential to disarm opponents (in a similar vein to batarangs :P )

EDGE: Even

Pistols: Flintlock > matchlock. 'Nuff said.

EDGE: Pirate

Shotguns: Ditto but the osutsu can use anything as ammunition and on board a pirate ship, that shouldn't be too much of a problem

EDGE: Even

Muskets: Ditto again.

EDGE: Pirate
