Two-handed sword

The Two-Handed Sword is the logal development of the normal, one-handed Sword. While more difficult to wield, needing more strength and both hands, its destructive power has been enhanced significantly. One strinke of this weapon can sever limbs, cut open heads and ruin armour. To make it short: one hit from it, and most foes are history. It is a weapon closely associated with knights and the greatest warriors and has no trouble with proving its worth in battle.

According to Vetron's Guide to Weapons and Armour, a two-handed sword has a "11" effectiveness rating, thus being the most destructive, non-magical melee weapon available.

History
The two-handed sword first appeared in Ultima III, and has been in the series ever since, although it was strangely missing from Ultima IV.

Several special two-handed swords did exist throughout history:


 * The Black Sword - Made from [[Blackrock] and loaded with a Daemon, it is the ultimate destructive weapon.
 * Blade of Striking - A magicalal two-handed sword from Pagan.
 * Lightning Sword - Instead of a blade, this sword has an arc of electricity, with the logical, destructive results.
