Elgb's "Knights in Shining Armor" EDGES!!!

Bows: This is a very tough one. Both the composite and Steel crossbow has its own advantages and faults. The is faster to reload, which gives it an advantage in rate of fire. But it lacks accuracy, power and range. The The steel crossbow is the most accurate and long range bow of its time, but it takes half a minute to reload. So it's even for me. EDGE: Even

Mid: The lance is the better weapon when used on horseback, and the pike is popular among the foot soldier. The pike takes the edge, because it's design to be used by foot soldiers, meant that it is longer. It is also designed to kill horses and unhook knights off horseback. This gives the pike more uses. EDGE: Arthur

Close: Though both are the same, it's still clings to me that the excalibur has been noted to magical properties or made by better materials and metallurgy. Either way, it's still makes the excalibur a little bit more special than a common longsword. EDGE: Arthur

Special: The buckler can put up a good defense when it can, but it's too small to block a warhammer. It was designed primarily for unarmored archers, not armored knights. THe warhammer on the otherhand, was designed to destroy hammer with its blunt force specialty. EDGE: Arthur

Deadliest Warrior: King Arthur!

Hands down, Arthur is better equipped than Horace in his fight. Not only that, but he is also more experienced in battle than the young Horace, having trained and fought while also leading his men into battle.
