119's "Even Smaug Does Not Simply Fly Into Mordor" Edges:


 * Physical Weapons: In terms of sheer brute force, Smaug would win under most circumstances, however, these are not most circumstances. Sauron is a being with practically godlike power, and his magically enhanced mace may be able to equal even the force of Smaug's Tail. Edge: Even.


 * Magic Attacks/Powers: Sauron takes the definite edge here, as, while he cannot fly (at least that I know of), he does have powers that will blow Smaug out of the air, namely his reality warping and shadow energy blasts. Given his ability to emit heat and control fire, it is likely he could survive Smaug's fire blast and even turn it against him. The utility of the powers of illusion, and telekinesis are obviously numerous, and, finally his ability to control minds and even raise and control the dead, Sauron could literally force Smaug to become one of his minion- even if he has to kill him first.
