Two-handed

A couple of questions, is two-handed a coded skill?
Should it show up in your skills list as a warrior?
If not, can one get better at it like other skills?

help Duel_Wield

They don't call it the Screaming Mantis Tavern to be cute. It's called foreshadowing. First there's screaming, then mantis head.

Holding a weapon in two hands isn't a skill, though, and you won't get better at it (aside from the actual weapon skill) as far as I know.

EDIT: (spluttering in pleased surprise) Huzzah!

If you read above and type Help duel_wield you would know it was a skill

Dual wielding two weapons is different than wielding one weapons in both hands.

This is a new skill and if you have the dual wield skill you should be getting this skill as well.  If it doesn't show up on your list yet, be patient.  If it's taking some time and you absolutely must have it, you can change your objective.  Just please remember to change it back once it's been added.

Thanks Myrdryn, that's exactly what I wanted to know! 8)

I'm so glad the skill was implemented.

There's now (presumably) a coded reason to wield a weapon with both hands. I just didn't see any significant coded advantage, previously.

I thank the coder who was responsible for the implementation, after so many years of debate.

Someday I can grow food crops too!
Will that be the next coded skill Mr Green Jeans?
