Wield type

The wield type of a weapon defines in what way the weapon is employed in combat by its possessor.

This type, combined with the size of the weapon is figured into determining how this weapon is employed in combat.

Wield type examples:
 * One-handed
 * Light weapon
 * one/two-handed
 * Two-handed

Weapon Size
Depending on the physical size of weapon, and the wielder of that weapon, the wield type of a weapon can be different. For instance, some races of character would wield a morningstar with both hands, while other, larger races would require only one hand.

Weapon Design
Some weapons, such as the bastard sword may be wielded as either a one-handed weapon or two-handed weapon. Again, the size of the character wielding the weapon is also a factor in determining the wield type.
