WHO...IS...DEADLIEST?

The Warriors Themselves


Aragorn, son of Arathorn (Strider)

Height: 6' 4"

Weight: Unknown (Lean)

Age: 87 years

Armor: Chainmail



Robin Hood (Robin of Loxley)

Height: 6' 0"

Weight: 200 lbs

Age: Unknown (Young to Middle-aged)

Armor: Chainmail & Buckler

Long Range Weaponry and Edge
Aragorn attacks Orcs with...

Dunedain Ranger Bow

Length: 3.5 ft

Weight: 2 lbs

Robin Hood shoots back with...

English War Bow

Length: 5.5 ft

Weight: 3.5 lbs

Since both of these archers are so skilled with their bow, I going to have to call this a draw between the two.

EDGE: EVEN

Medium Range Weaponry and Edge
Aragorn goes at the enemy with...

Dunedain Spear

Length: 5.5 ft

Weight: 5 lbs

Robin Hood counters blows with...

Oak Quarterstaff

Length: 6 ft

Weight: 2.5 lbs

While the Oak Quarterstaff is light and faster at delivering blows, the more lethal Dunedain Spear is where I am putting my money.

EDGE: ARAGORN for the DUNEDAIN SPEAR!

Close Range Weaponry and Edge
Aragorn's sword of choice is...

Anduril, Flame of the West (Hand-and-a-half)

Length: 5.5 ft

Weight: 7.5 lbs

Robin Hood's sword of choice would be a...

English Longsword

Length: 3 ft

Weight: 3.5 lbs

''I am going to wager on the Longsword. While Anduril is longer and heavier, it requires more effort to use. Thus, the fatigue factor will be better with Robin Hood.''

EDGE: ROBIN HOOD for the ENGLISH LONGSWORD!

Special Weaponry and Edge
Aragorn's secret weapon is an...

Elven Dagger

Length: 1.5 ft

Weight: 1.5 lbs

Robin Hood's back-up weapon is a...

Rondel Dagger

Length: 1 ft

Weight: 1 lbs

''I am not really sure on how to call this. The Rondel Dagger is excellent for piercing chainmail while the Elven Dagger is an excellent off-hand weapon. This is way too close to call therefore it will be even.''

EDGE: EVEN
