Two-handed/One-handed weapons

Two-handed/One-handed weapons can be used either in both hands or in one hand with a shield. Depending on how they are used, they have the advantages and disadvantages of both weapon types.

To switch between one and two-handed modes, the player's shield must be equipped/unequipped. Using one of these weapons allows the choice between less damage/speed and more defense or more damage/speed and less defense. Note that any two/one-handed weapon is faster and deals more damage when used with both hands.

On horseback, all melee weapons - except the Hafted Blade - are held with one hand only. Either one-handed or two-handed proficiencies, however, will increase depending on whether the player is holding their hybrid weapon alone (2H) or with a shield (1H). Using them on horseback has the unique advantage of being able to use overhead attacks even while in two-handed mode - something that is usually impossible for weapons from the two-handed proficiency.

The stats below apply when using them two-handed - when using them one-handed, speed and damage are reduced by 15%.
