So many factors to consider, including the preferences of the two high-level practitioners in question. It's a lot like asking who's stronger with regard to a professional strongman and an Olympic powerlifter.
You and I had the same childhood. In 81 I believe I would have been in fifth grade.Lol. I didn't even ask which version, because when you said "keep on the borderlands," I know you're old school. I got that module in my very first, basic d&d set when I was in the 6th grade, around 1981.

Well, since this thread has gone off the rails, not having been that stable to begin with ... Xue, have you read Shop Class as Soul Craft? Good book.
“Philosopher and motorcycle repair-shop owner Crawford extols the value of making and fixing things in this masterful paean to what he calls “manual competence,” the ability to work with one’s hands. …With wit and humor, the author deftly mixes the details of his own experience as a tradesman and then proprietor of a motorcycle repair shop with more philosophical considerations.”—Publishers Weekly (starred review)

It depends. What are their alignments? Good? Evil? Neutral?No, I'm in IT now and we don't have souls
I have not read that, but I am about to make an Amazon order and that has been added, thanks.
Now to get this thread back on track..... since there was no MMA, per say, in 1981 but there were Taiji masters would the length of time the art existed come into play as to who would win...AND....do both of the combatants have souls....or are one or both of them soulless freaks of nature...... all of this could make a difference
see what I did there![]()

Chaotic or lawful?
If they are lawfully evil, they may have a soul tho it will be rotten. If chaotic evil then they may not have one at all since I doubt they would recognize a higher power.
If they are good or neutral, I'm afraid the answer is the same.
Well, whoever had the Jolt Cola would take it all, I'm afraid. It's as simple as that.
Lol, don't forget his ability to fight. Because that's what it about, not what art he does.In order to play this game, I need more information on the Tai Chi man and on the MMAist. Can you provide a detailed profile of each using the template provided below? Try to provide as much detail as possible. The more detail you include, the more accurate I can be with my prediction. Thanks!
