Affectos's Emotions: "Battle of the Sand Warriors"

Close Range: Looking at the two, my gut instinct on the blades alone is drawing it even, but in the hands of their respected warriors, I see that the greater experienced Hashashins take their usage of their weapon  beyond the Immortal. Edge: Scimitar

Mid Range: Looking at the usages between the spear and throwing knives, the lower accuracy of the knives and less damage of the knives makes them a bit more of complexity than an assest. With the spear, there is less worry about the placement of the tip, also you can't 'run out' of spears. Edge: Persian Spear

Long Range: To me they seem to be the exact same bow...both are equally trained in that area... Edge: Even

Special Weapons: Poison was a major tool in the Hashashin assassination kit. While the Sagaris can kill at a longer range, the poisoned khanjar only requires a gash in the opponent's flesh. Edge: Poisoned Khanjar

X-Factors: While both warriors are highly trained, the Immortals fought numerous different kinds of warriors, but the Hashashins were trained to kill warriors like the Persion Immortals. Edge: Hashashin

I firmly put my emotional support behind the Hashashin. Nothing is real...everything is permitted...
