−	~~#redirect~~ [[two-handed]]	+	A '''one-handed weapon''' is a type of [[weapon]] in ''[[NetHack]]'' that requires only one hand in order to [[wield]] it, leaving the other hand free for another purpose while in [[combat]].
		+
		+	==Description==
		+	A [[hero]] or [[monster]] that is wielding a one-handed weapon can [[wear]] a [[shield]] alongside that weapon. If both the hero's primary weapon and alternate weapon slots are occupied by a weapon that is one-handed, and they are not also wearing a shield, they can engage in [[two-weapon combat]] to attack with both weapons simultaneously. A hero wielding a one-handed weapon cannot [[swap weapons]] if their alternate weapon is [[two-handed]] and they are wearing a shield.
		+
		+	[[Monster]]s with hands that have weapon attacks, including [[pet]]s, can wield one-handed weapons.
		+
		+	All non-weapon objects are treated as one-handed while wielded, but since they are not weapons they will not weld to the hero's hand if cursed, with the exception of the [[tin opener]].
		+
		+	===Cursed one-handed weapons===
		+	If a [[cursed]] one-handed weapon is wielded by a hero or monster, or else their wielded one-handed weapon becomes cursed, the hand holding that weapon will weld to it. In this state, they cannot perform the following actions:
		+
		+	* Swapping weapons
		+	* [[Removing]] worn [[gloves]]
		+	* [[Putting on]] [[ring]]s or [[taking off]] rings, unless it is for their free hand
		+
		+	Additionally, if they have a cursed shield in their other hand, they cannot perform the following actions:
		+
		+	* [[Loot]]ing or [[apply]]ing [[container]]s
		+	* Casting [[spell]]s (for the hero)
		+
		+	==List of one-handed weapons==
		+	The weapons listed below are one-handed. If the lance, marked (1), is used to attack while riding, it deals +2d10 on a successful [[joust]], which also [[stun]]s the victim and throws them back a square. Weapons marked (2) are [[projectile]] weapons or ammo designed to be [[thrown]] or fired from a [[launcher]], rather than wielded.
