| Desirability
| - Not counting 'naturally suffixed' weapons like a sword of sharpness or mace of destruction, two-handed swords have higher damage and to-hit ratings than other basic weapons. Their higher metal forms are more powerful than many artifact weapons, and paired with a good suffix like devastation or penetration can become incredibly powerful.
The downside to wielding a two-handed sword, of course, is the cost of DV; two-handed swords deny their wielder the benefits of fighting with a shield, and the Two-handed Weapons category does not offer much DV bonus compared to the Polearms class.
