One-Handed (Skyrim)

''The art of combat using one-handed weapons such as daggers, swords, maces, and war axes. Those trained in this skill deliver deadlier blows''.

One-Handed is a new skill that is to be introduced in Skyrim. One-Handed will be one of the 18 skills and will fall under The Warrior play-style. One-Handed skill is raised by the use of weapons that the in-game character can hold/use with only one hand. One-Handed combat promises to be more versatile than its Two-Handed counterpart by allowing combination such as a one handed weapon and shield or spell, Dual Wielding, and others.

Extra-note: In The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, staves are counted as two-handed weapons, but in the videos shown of Skyrim they are now only one-handed weapons. Staves, however, do not help players accumulate experience for this skill. Using Bound Sword and other bound weapons increase both Conjuration and One-Handed.
