Thund's "Assassination" edges


 * Close range: ASSASSINS- The Short Blade appears to be longer...I guess that's good enough when in comes to knives.


 * Mid range: MERRY MEN- The Longsword brings length to the fight. Despite it being a little more awkward than the one handed sabre, it gives the Merry Men superior range and distance when fighting.


 * Long range: EVEN- While the Bow certainly brings the superior range and accuracy, the throwing knives can be used in melee combat. That will be a big advantage when things get up close.


 * Special: EVEN- Normally, I'd give this to the edged weapon rather than the blunt weapon. But the superior size of the war hammer does prove it useful. The Hidden Blade is much shorter, and while it is certainly surprising, it definetly isn't that effective when compared to the superiorly ranged and heavier war hammer. That being said, the hammer is slower, and is in-effective unless it lands a good hit to the head.


 * Armor: ASSASSINS- The Assassin armor is thicker and allows more movement.

OVERALL VOTE? The Assassins take this in my mind. They are fast, stealthy and fast. Combined with their awesome weaponry, they should pull off a win.
