119's Cloak and Dagger Edges


 * Bows: While the crossbow more stopping power at close range, the longbow is capable of firing an arrow further and can be reloaded a lot faster. Add in the legendary accuracy of the Rangers, that gives them the edge. Edge: Rangers


 * Swords: The weapons are essentially the same, however, Assassins are all trained swordsmen, while the Rangers only really have one swordsman- the rest prefer their saxe knives. Edge: Assassins


 * Knives: The Assassin's short swords, given the time period, would also have been made with similar or better metallurgical techniques to the Ranger's Saex, however, the Saex had a heavier blade and can be thrown. Add in the throwing knives, which give the rangers even more tactical options. Edge: Rangers


 * Special: The Strikers have a longer range, and while they are heavy enough to kill with a hit to the right place, are mostly stunning weapons, though they could make for a dangerous blunt instrument if used in melee. The Hidden blade, though is far better for making surprise attacks, and is more lethal Edge: Assassins


 * X-Factors: Assassins take edges of stealth, perception (Eagle vision), and experience, giving them a close, but important edge is this fight. Edge: Assassins


 * Overall Winner: The Assassins take the victory primarily for their superior X-Factors and experience, as well as their longer swords.
