Two handed weapons can be swords, axes and maces. They deal impressive levels of melee damage, and are also effective from horseback. While on horseback you swing the sword with only one hand but you are still unable to carry a shield.

The Bastard Sword is a special type of two-handed sword; as indicated in its popup it can be wielded either way. By putting away your shield (scroll the wheel up) you can switch to two-handed, and vice versa. This means you can deal large amounts of damage against melee foes with both hands, but when facing archers you can pull out your shield.

Polearms are mediocre weapons when on foot. About the only effective on-foot use is skewering charging cavalry.

This special type has been included from ''Mount&Blade'' 0.750 and onwards. Firearms have completely different handling from bows or crossbows. Right now only mods use this skill, such as [[../Pirates/]].
