Two-handed Weapon

The largest and most damaging weapons available to PCs are usually two-handed weapons. Obviously, a character with a two-handed weapon is not going to be able to use a shield or a secondary weapon, but he does have a lot of offensive capability.

Many two-handed weapons are polearms and extended-range weapons that provide the wielder with special tactical benefits in addition to their raw damage potential. Note that a character doesn’t have to use both hands just to hold a two-handed weapon; he can hang on to it with one hand to free up the other for another activity, but he can’t attack until he gets both hands on the weapon again.
