"TWO HANDED WEAPONS"

Type: ability
Class: Barbarian, Dreadlord, Paladin, Ranger, Samurai, Templar, Valkyrie

Generally two-handed weapons do more damage than one handed weapons and are slower.
You also just look way more tough carrying a two handed weapon and a lot less
stealthy.  In unusual cases, you can wield some one handed weapons with two hands.
Thank goodness there aren't four armed races that could let you wield one handed
weapons with three or four hands.  That would get really confusing.

You can improve the damage and speed of two-handed weapons by increasing your rank
in the very logically named "two handed weapons" skill which will provide the following
benefits:
Rank   Damage bonus (per hit)   Hitroll bonus   Attack speed increase
1             0                      0                  +5
3             3                      0                  +10
5             5                      0                  +13
7             8                      2                  +15
10           12                      5                  +18

This doesn't work on missile weapons because they are different.
