User blog comment:Richard Starkey/Blackpowder Conquerors User tourney Round 1: Thornclaw Braveheart Vs. Lasmoore/@comment-181289-20110914001927

Edges

Close: The Claymore while an fantastic weapon, isn't really well suited for blackpowder fights, it requires both hands, and draws alot of attention and isn't as good against armor as the war hammer which is designed to work against armor and leaves the other hand open for other options. Edge: Thornclaw Braveheart.

Mid: I thinks this has been pretty well established. Edge: Even.

Long Range: The volly musket is a risky weapon to use, these older attempets at multi-shot weapons were highly unreliable and often dangerous to the user, andi t has been stated that the safter place to be when these weapon were fired was infront of them. The Arquebus is not only safer to use force the user to make there shots count, it it's not likley to kill the user. "'Edge:Lasmoore'''

Special: Like the early volly musket, it just as dangerous to the user as the target, the Blunderbus is safer and more likly to get a kill. Edge:Lasmoore.

Torture: I reallt don't like this aspect of the fights, however Thornclaws is in my opinion more horrendous. Edge: Thornclaw Braveheart.

Overall Winner: Thornclaw Braveheart Lasmoore has better weapon but his lower sanity rating hurts him, To me anything below and 80 isn't good. Being insane isn't a good mind set to be in a fight, it may be slightly benifical in other situation, but in the heat of battle being mentally unsound is a bad thing.
