119's Small But Deadly Edges


 * Short Range: The Short Sword is more durable, has a longer cutting edge, and is more versatile- can cut or thrust. Edge: Hobbits


 * Mid-Range: In the fight between a blunt instrument and a sharp weapon, the sharp one usually wins. The spear beats out the club for its greater length and lethality. Edge: Ewoks


 * Long Range: Normally, I would go with the Hobbits short bow, as it fires steel-headed arrows, but the Ewok bow has poisoned arrows, giving it the edge in terms of lethality. Edge: Ewoks


 * Special: Hobbits can be nasty when it comes to throwing rocks, especially if they get a heavy brick-sized rock that can crack even the skull of an orc. However, the sling has a longer range and can make a smaller rock hit with greater force even than the larger brick-sized rocks used by the Hobbits. Edge: Ewoks.


 * X-Factors: The Hobbits have fought against orcs at least a couple different times, and managed to drive them out of the Shire. But the Ewoks have achieved much more, having literally defeated an invasion by a futuristic space-faring race with essentially sticks and rocks (as well as they occasional stolen walker). This gives them an edge in tactics, intelligence (as they can figure out how to use futuristic weapons- even if there aren't any abandoned laser guns lying around in this fight, it shows they are quite intelligent and resourceful) and experience. Edge: Ewoks.

Overall Winner: The Hobbits managed to drive off orcs, which can be nasty little bastards, but not anything compared to the heavily armed, futuristic space-faring Empire that the Ewoks defeated. Winner: Ewoks
