A two-handed sword is a kind of Two-handed melee weapon. It is one of the most damaging non-artifact weapons in the game.

Two handed swords can become a nuisance when cursed because you lose all other use of your hands, preventing you from opening a container, among other things. Thus, it is unpopular after the mid-game despite its high damage.

Barbarians have a 50% chance of starting off with a two-handed sword

SLASH'EM

SLASH'EM introduces the Deathsword, an additional artifact two-handed sword which is the second guaranteed sacrifice gift for barbarians and has +14 damage and +5 to-hit against humans. It is chaotic for wishing purposes, but would be a waste of a wish with all of the excellent chaotic SLASH'EM artifacts.
