hmmm.. i see, about the endurence thing, if both warriors have been doing this fr awhile then it would be even, for the western warrior has built up more muscle and endurance, he is bulkier because of that....

anyways, in a camp of uruks or something like that, a dagger is best, because you'd need a close-range, highly manuverable weapon for quickly and silently killing a foe, such as a sleeping uruk-hai [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

i say dagger because it is so small that it makes it easy to use for sneaking up on enemies and such, for a katana, it would be too large and it's sweeping slash would be too wide. a dagger relies mainly on being able to sneak up on the enemy and kill them while they are unaware of what's going on.

it would still be didgent to keep a katana or longsword handy if you are detected and stealth is no longer useful, then you could ude a katana or longsword because then you would aslo have to defend yourself, something a dagger isn't very good at...
