The zweihander is a brutish two-handed sword of great weight. Its mass helps contribute to its large damage potential but tends to make it one of the slowest weapons available. The zweihander can only be yielded by the exceptionally strong, those with less than Strength 20 receive a -2 penalty on attack rolls with a zweihander. It can easily break the legs of a charging horse or split open plate mail. A zwiehander is about 6' in length overall. The handle is about a foot and a half in length and usually has a large counterweight to help balance the weapon. Like all swords, a zweihander can have any number of crosspieces. The blade of this weapon is unforgettable. It is about 6" in width for its entire length; it flairs slightly towards the end and has a blunt tip. It cannot be used as a thrusting weapon.
