It indicates whether a melee weapon, when wielded by a character of the weapon’s size category, is considered a light weapon, a one-handed weapon, or a two-handed weapon.""If a one-handed weapon is wielded with two hands during melee combat...""POWER ATTACK [GENERAL]Special: If you attack with a two-handed weapon, or with a one-handed weapon wielded in two hands, instead add twice the number subtracted from your attack rolls."It's very clear in the rules that the phrase "one-handed weapon" has nothing to do with how a weapon is used, since it's a one-handed weapon regardless of whether you're using it in one or two hands.It's even a one-handed weapon if it's sitting on the floor minding its own business, since that designation also determines its hit points.Perhaps it's not spelled out explicitly... but it's glaringly implicit.And since "two-handed weapon" is a designation of the same type, it should be obvious that since "one-handed weapon" has nothing to do with how the weapon is actually being used, the same goes for "two-handed weapon".-Hyp.</blockquote>
