Holding a two handed weapon in one hand?
« on: May 09, 2010, 01:59:28 pm »

So I just started, my guy is a Competent Swordsman and Fighter, and an Adept Thrower, and he's got a two-handed sword in one hand, and a shield in the other. Is he going to take a penalty for holding it in one hand? Abnd will he be better if he's two handed?

Agree, plus that's about the LAST thing *I* want to see from this kind of game - author spending valuable development time on useless graphics.

I'm pretty sure the fact you can hold all two handed weapons with one hand is a coding bug.

Yeah, like the maul and great axe. I'm pretty sure those are two-handers as well.

You get half your attacking roll or some such, I believe.

Oddly enough, with an average size of 70000, humans are large enough to wield all vanilla weapons one-handed, even two-handed swords. The highest that the two-handed value goes is 67500, so small or skinny humans may have trouble wielding the weapons in one hand.
