Ok off the derail now


"I would like to fight a group of blunt weapon users, would keep one shot killing out of likelyness and all"


The arena master nods his head
You have a nice dinner with master and nobles.
The next day you are sent to talk with your team and tell them what will be happening

Send maior in first and get around while he "Tanks" Assuming they just have wood clubs none should be able to get past his spear

[Peradon]

Tell them the truth, that we requested to fight blunt weapon users. Give them a speech, stuff like that.

There's nothing shameful about that

[Peradon]

I never said it was shameful, just saying we should inform them of what they are up against.

meh let's talk about tactics

[Peradon]

Ok then, dont go in with the net. That would be a one shot thing, and we are up against multiple people. Go in with the sword and the trident.

[Peradon]

Send Autem in first. He can give and take multiple hits, so having him on the front line is good. Next comes Maior, then us, then Angius, then Lio.

I think the guys with the most reach should go first so yes like that Autem Maior Us And flankers should be the last two

Gaah, we need to stick with the net and trident.

[Peradon]

But its just a one off shot......

[Floppypig]

Shield for added protection Net as bonus

[Peradon]

Sheilds are cumbersome. If we get one, it has to be small and light.

Yeah just a metal buckler

+1. We can ask for a wider net with more barbs and hooks so we can conceivably net multiple people at once. 2 would be enough.

-1. Assuming we're using a shield (which I'm giving a -1 to as well), it's best if we get a proper shield. These guys have blunt weapons which do more damage against buckler-users than shield-users. (A blunt weapon on a buckler would likely damage the hand holding the buckler.)

Tell them the truth, that we requested to fight blunt weapon users. Give them a speech, stuff like that.

+1 to telling them about our enemies but -1 to the speech. We barely know these guys, it's not a fight worthy of speech, and we don't want to sound pretentious on our first day with them.

EDIT: It doesn't have to be a big shield, assuming we're using one. Even a small round shield like the velites used would be decent.

EDIT2: Bucklers were used as weapons just as much as they were used to protect, if not more so. A dedicated protection device would serve us better.

Maybe a wooden shield REINFORCED on the edges and sides with metal. Scutum which would be a tower shield in some rpgs. Small steel shield would be feasible
