Hehe, Just checking the poll, the numbers rule out 50/50. Such a puzzling thought considering that it was medieval knights and the samurai that really made their mark in history as effective warriors.

For Drizzt:
I'm thinking about the typical "medieval knight" a sword, shield, no horse, just all out man battle, as far as armor, i am unsure of what material medieval knights used, im sure it depends on where or how rich a kingdom was. Im talking just "typically".

My opinion is that although medieval knights do have armor and a shield, a samurai and their ingenuity in their katanas could quite possibly pierce armor. On the other hand, I would feel as if the samurai wouldnt know how to go against a shield as many of their practices involve sword to sword combat.
