A two-handed sword +3 is an enchanted and magical weapon, owned by several characters or sold by merchants in Throne of Bhaal and The Black Pits II: Gladiators of Thay.

“	A derivative of the long sword, the two-handed sword is significantly longer, both in blade and hilt. Its primary function is cleaving mounted knights and breaking up pike formations. This magical version is even more capable of such functions, serving as a fearful reminder of what comes of the union between weapons and sorcery.	”

Statistics

With its weight of 9 lb, the two-handed sword +3 is 6 lb lighter than a non-magical two-handed sword. Compared furthermore, in combat it adds a bonus of 3 to the hit chance, the attack speed and the slashing damage dealt with it. As usual for melee weapons, hit chance and damage are additionally modified by the wielder's strength.

The sword is able to hurt creatures that are not affected by normal weapons and those that are immune to weapons with an enchantment below 3.
