BG1's "Impossible Mission" Edges:

Main: I have to give this to the Cloak and Dagger simply because the Roman Pugio, out of the two daggers, is double-edged meaning it is better as a slashing weapon and since it has a wide blade, it could also make for easier dismembering; the Cloak also can be used to protect the Sicarius from the effects of the Black Egg as well as be used offensively as a choking weapon

EDGE: Sicarii

Ranged: Neither weapon is going to do much harm to each other but I have to give it to the Ninja's ranged weapons since it has a higher chance of killing someone than the sling; the main ammunition of the sling is stone which causes blunt force trauma at best, but the shuriken is made of steel meaning it causes more damage through a slash or stab at best. The blowgun is totally useless here since its darts will be blocked by the cloak but the shuriken will not be easily deflected

EDGE: Ninja

Special: Easily the kusarigama since it is more versatile and will guarantee a faster kill (also the Ninja is trained not to swing the weighted portion of the weapon like an idiot as someone here thinks); the poisoned sica has its virtue as a poisoned weapon but the poison acts a little more slowly and yes it may hamper the ability to fight but its a weapon that relies a little too much on stealth

EDGE: Ninja

X-Factors: Average of 89.5 for the Ninja; Average of 91.75 for the Sicarii

EDGE: Sicarii

Overall Winner: You know what? Given the scenario I will have to say that the Ninja gets this considering how the warrior brings in a weapon set that is versatile (i.e. if his stealthy weapons fail him, then at least he can fall back to his kusarigama for combat) and of superior metallic quality; in addition, he also brings in the training and experience to take out other assassins as well as armoured opponents (whose to say that their martial arts skills and agility cannot be countered?); the Roman sicarii are more geared towards terrorism than assassination and in this scenario, their kills will be far more noticeable whereas the Ninja can easily take out his opponents (as well as move around) without drawing too much attention although a converse case can be made concerning appearances (i.e. the Ninja's clothing may not be black contrary to popular belief but the styling of it as covering his entire body and face is less discrete than dressing up as a member of the crowd)
