BG1's "INDIAN STRONK VS FRENCH STRONK! FIGHT!" Edges:

Short - I have to give it to the broadsword here since its blade is designed to not only slice but also to stab due to its pointed tip while the khanda has a blunted tip meaning its best attacks will be slices (I understand the pommel has a spike on it but methinks it'll be harder to use that spike to stab the knight)

EDGE: Knight

Mid - Although the two weapons seem similar as they are both poleaxes, I have to say that the European halberd gets this since it has two spiked ends as opposed to the tabar which (even if it doesn't have the spike on top of it) has a hammerhead opposite the blade which isn't as effective a killing tool as a spike; also the halberd has the longer reach

EDGE: Knight

Long - As much as I admire the chakram and its use to deadly effect by the Rajput, it's a throwing weapon at the end of the day and thus landing an accurate hit is a game of luck; the crossbow, while longer to reload, has a longer effective range than the chakram and aiming with it in order to score a good kill is much easier

EDGE: Knight

Special - Morningstar is not a very good weapon when you think about it; sure it has a spiked head but IIRC its as much a danger to the user as it is to the target since the head can easily redirect itself onto the knight with almost fatal consequences; the katar is much easier to control and its blade is essentially plate-armour-piercing if thrust towards its target with great force

EDGE: Rajput

X-Factors - Average of 91.75 for the Rajput; Average of 89 for the Knight

EDGE: Rajput

Overall Winner: This is quite tricky considering that the knight is better protected against most of the Rajput's weapons (save for the Katar) and is a warrior well-suited for horseback combat but the Rajput has an unusually exotic fighting style that also involves martial arts and that's perhaps something the knight cannot counter - furthermore, the Rajput warrior fares a lot better than a knight when it comes to on-foot CQC thanks to the aforementioned fighting style and also their lighter armour... for this battle though I'm just gonna call it a Tie.
