Historically, two-handed swords and axes are an unusual varient of the more popular, smaller edged weapons. Requiring great strength and stamina, two-handed edged weapons were the preferred weapons of many Germanic and Indo-European groups such as the Celts. Within Dragonrealms (also known a 2HE), two-handed edged weapons represent weapons like bastard swords, greatswords, and boarding axes. |

Twohanded edged weapons are swords and axes that require two hands to use. They do a lot of slice and impact damage and are occasionally pole ranged. Like all twohanded weapons, they can be used with armworn [[Shield Usage skill|shields]], but with a penalty to both the shield and the sword. Swappable weapons that can be used as 2HE weapons are [[Bastard sword]] and [[Splitting maul]]. |

Two-handed edge is a fantastic melee weapon category and currently the most popular melee skill, offering immense attack power with few penalties given the right weapon. Before the release of arm-worn shields, two-handed edge had the additional penalty of incompatibility with shield skill, making heavy edge the melee class of choice. Since the release of arm-worn shields, however, the largest detriment to 2HE (by far) has disappeared completely, making it the skill of choice for most melee fighters. |

Historical
Under old forging, forged models were capable of inflicting more damage than any other melee weapon, and their relatively light weight has made them one of the more popular melee weapons in the game. Prior to old forging, most twohanded edged weapons were well over sixty stones, but models with bone-crushing slice are relatively easy to forge at as light as thirty-two stones.
