Can you swing a longsword with one hand?
The longsword was a quick, effective, and versatile weapon capable of deadly thrusts, slices, and cuts. The blade was generally used with both hands on the hilt, one resting close to or on the pommel. The weapon may be held with one hand during disarmament or grappling techniques.
Can a Zweihander be used with one hand?
A zweihänder is a two-handed sword. It’s right there in the name (“zwei” meaning “two” in German and “händer”…well). So anyone who swings around something so huge using only one hand is obviously not normal, and not someone to be trifled with.
Can a large creature wield a greatsword in one hand?
Can a halfling wield it one handed? Not likely. Their hands would be so small comparatively that it would strain the wrists. They would have to use it as a two-handed weapon.
Can you wield a Claymore with one hand?

Can you hold a greatsword in one hand?
The greatswords are designed to be wielded two-handed, and they are balanced as two-handed weapons and wielding them single-handed is awfully awkward due to the inertia momentum. You have to keep it constantly in motion. Yes, it is possible, but there are better weapons for single-hand use.
Is a greatsword one-handed or two-handed?
Right there in the weapons table, it says that a Greatsword is a two-handed weapon. It requires two hands to use. OP, have your player look for weapons that have the “versatile” keyword if they want something that is small enough for one hand, large enough for two (This includes long swords, battle axes, war hammers, and tridents).
Can you swing a heavy weapon with one hand?
Yes just about anyone can swing it with one hand but you won’t have the accuracy and control to be able to make any type of contact, Not to mention you need the extra hand to be able to drive into a larger object.

Can a two-handed sword be used as a one-handed weapon?
Well yes it can and in fact we see one-handed techniques in a few of the two-handed sword treatises, often to thrust, occasionally to cut.
