BG1's "Outlaw" Edges

Close Range: The dirk is designed to be a weapon in itself rather than the hunting knife but the hunting knife has an edge over the dirk because its blade is longer

EDGE: Even

Medium: The LeMat does come with a shotgun underbarrel which is great but it also weighs the gun down and it makes reloading a little bit more tedious since the shotgun fires only one-shot (yea I know the LeMat has a superior mag capacity but I'm sure Ned can make John waste them all). Also, the Webley has an advantage in range (yea the LeMat has a maximum range of 100m but it is only effective at distance of 40m)

EDGE: Ned

Long: Hmmm... I think others have stated the case that the Spencer is tedious to reload and fire; and I agree that the Winchester was the "gun that won the west". OK I might as well give it to the Winchester because of its superior mag capacity and action.

EDGE: Marston

Special 1: Double Barrel Shotgun is great at killing but not so good at having good range and reloading time. The Colt Revolving Rifle has superior range and ammo and for that I'm giving it the edge. Sure the Rifle has problems as SPARTAN stated but as a gunslinger, I'm sure Kelly knows better

EDGE: Ned

Special 2: Really? A rope vs a gun. Obvious what gets the edge here.

EDGE: Ned

Overall Winner: AUSSIE AUSSIE AUSSIE! OI OI OI! OK, I'm just kidding. But seriously I am having to give this to Ned Kelly because he has the armour to protect him, more loyal team-mates, great skill in close combat and if the battle is taking place in the Australian Bush, the homeland advantage. John's greatest asset is Deadeye accuracy but since that isn't included in his list of perks, thats his advantage gone. Also, the Stagecoach won't be of much help despite providing transport and cover because in the bush there is not much mobility offroad so...
