Long weapons must be held in both hands to fight, with one exception: a character with the [[Shield]] skill may wield a stab-safe weapon of between 42”/102cm and 72”/180cm length one-handed, holding the weapon roughly halfway along its length, with a shield in the other hand. When fighting with a weapon over 42”/105cm long held this way, the wielder may only make thrusting attacks, and may not use it to parry.
