Zweihander

World of Darkness - Armory

This is a monstrous weapon, longer and larger than even the great sword, with a hilt of over a foot, and a blade that measures nearly five feet in length. The zweihander is taller than some people. It also weighs nearly 14 pounds, requiring a Herculean effort just to swing the weapon, regardless of accuracy. The blade itself might be flamberge (wavy curves like a snake) or have parrying hooks about 10 inches up from the hilt.
If one can wield this beast and connect with it, the massive weapon can wreak hideous damage. Attacks made with this sword apply the 9 again rule to the roll.
