Twohanded Edged skill

General Information

Twohanded edged weapons are swords and axes that require two hands to use. Currently, they can be used with armworn shields, and the free hand is considered to be empty for purposes of spells which require an empty hand. Forged models are 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 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.
