v0.34:Two-handed sword
| This article is about an older version of DF. |
- For a comparison of different weapons, see Weapon.
A two-handed sword is an edged weapon that is three times the size of a short sword, with five times the contact area. Two-handed swords have the same basic attacks as other swords, but benefit from increased damage potential at a cost of reduced usability. Two-handed swords can span up to 6 ft. in length, and, as the name implies, were intended for use with a two hand grip.
Two-handed swords use and train the swordsdwarf skill. As foreign weapons dwarves cannot forge two-handed swords, limiting supply to whatever low-quality specimens can be traded from human caravans and scavenged from invaders.
Due to the size of two-handed swords, most dwarves are unable to equip them. With height and broadness modifiers, some dwarves should be able to use a two-handed sword, and a select few might manage to do so one-handed. Unfortunately, due to a bug, two-handed swords cannot currently be equipped by any dwarves.
[edit] Bugs
In fortress mode, one-handed vs. two-handed checks are performed correctly, but can wield vs. can't wield ignores height and broadness modifiers, so dwarves cannot equip two-handed swords.Bug:0005812 See this forum post for details.
