BIG MAN IN A SUIT OF ARMOR!!! To be perfectly honest, the truncheon is Vigiles' best bet as a weapon- it's both light enough to typically outmanuever a foe and capable of dealing blunt trauma that'll get through Bors' armor. But there's two fatal flaws of the truncheon; Vigiles is significantly weighed down by his armor, while he's fighting with the intent to be nonlethal. Bors' more versatile longsword, as well as his intent to land a killing blow, gives him a significant edge, while his targe is just enough to protect him. The longsword is actually a close range weapon, and it lacks the reach of the halberd. The halberd is almost as versatile, too, sincd it's capable of hacking with the axe head, thrusting with the pike, and ripping through armor with the pick. It has enough range to keep Vigiles away from doing anything with his longsword, while it's got enough options to rip through armor with ease. The composite crossbow is a poor weapon for this match, but the fact Bors has poison arrows and actual specialized training with this weapon gives him an entirely useless edge. The dagger can actually be used in combat, while the mantraps are entirely useless because they require set-up, which is almost impossible in even Vigiles' mobility. While Vigiles' oddball medieval armor ensemble does actually grant him more vision, he's also extremely weighed down by the armor. Bors' weapons can also easily pierce Vigiles' armor at any time, with the halberd especially capable of ripping through plate, while it also gives him enough mobility to not be left an easybtarget for Vigiles. This shouldn't be a shock- Sir Bors' got better arms, armor, experience and training. Vigiles lacks any noteworthy traits, skills, or any important weapon edges to gurantee even one win.
