Close: Draw. The Katana is a nice weapon - but it will have some problems with the steel lamellar. The Dolabra is very different weapon - it's overall design makes it an armor-piercing weapon. However, the armor of a samurai is meant to ward off slashing attacks, so it's going to have some trouble there. Edge: Tie.

Throwing: Throwing Knives win. Since the Morning Star simply refers to the head of the mace, I'm going to assume that you are going to try throwing small, spiked balls. These are far harder to grab and throw in the middle of a fight, due to the fact that you can injure yourself. Throwing knives are simple, effective, and far easier to use. If you mean an actual mace / flail... then you'd lose based on sheer weight, since throwing weapons need to be brought in bulk. Edge: Thundrtri.

Long Range: Recurve Bow and Arrows win. The two have comparable range and power, meaning that mobility and reload time are needed for a proper comparison. In both cases, the recurve bow wins. Not only is the reload time of the Steel Crossbow in the minutes due to the crank, the weight of it makes it harder to move around. Nutter should have learned his lesson from Alexander the Great vs Atilla the Hun and Centurion vs Rajput: never bring an group-based weapon to a one-on-one fight.

Special: Armor-Piercing Poisoned Arrow wins. The Blunderbuss has a huge advantage due to it being a gunpowder weapon. It also has a huge disadvantage in both the reliability and weight categories. It misfires a LOT if not held the right way, and it also has a big chunk of weight added to your already weighed down self. The arrow is so much more versatile, not to mention that it is used with another weapon Thund has, the recurve bow. Paradoxically here, the gunpowder weapon actually seals Nutter's defeat. Edge: Thundrtri.

Overall, Thundrtri just dominates the melee, ranged, AND armor games. He has better weaponry to keep Nutter out of firing range, and his throwing knives can also be used as a melee weapon in a pinch. Nutter is simply outclassed. Win: Thindrtri.
