The website now properly enforces rules around equipping two-handed weapons. A two-handed weapon is a weapon that has the Two-Handed tactic (meaning, you cannot wield a shield while wielding the weapon). You cannot equip a shield while wielding a two-handed weapon, and vice versa.
Moreover, if you specialize in a weapon skill and add the Two-Handed tactic, weapons in this class receive a +1 to damage.
