All the sudden you're in the distant past. You're in the Roman Coliseum, being pushed towards the arena to fight an experienced looking gladiator armed with a large sword and some simple armor. Their is no escape, you must fight and win or die. You are given two options on how you will be armed.
Option 1. A pointy trident, Small Barbed Dagger, a Net, and some shoulder armor.
Option 2. A regular sword, small shield, and a helmet (Your face and neck are exposed).
Which option do you pick before you're thrown in the arena? Why? Do you think you'll survive?

If anybody in here honestly believes that they could kill an experienced gladiator, a professional fighter, then they are insane. Gladiators spend all their time training and fighting for their life. Its part of their career. Think of it as going into a cage match with a professional MMA fighter. You're not going to last long. If i had to choose though, id go with option 1. I have range with the trident, the net to slow him down, and im lightly armored, so im able to move faster.
