Hello!
Well, you can arm a 2H slash but your skill will never go above 0...so
probably not a good idea *grin*
I think the weapons you might want to be looking for now are a Mino Axe
and/or a Dragoon Dirk. Mino Axes should be 3-5pp and are great weapons at
your age. Dragoon dirks go as low as 20pp and have better overall stats than
a Combine Longsword. At 26 I still use mine and even when I upgrade will
keep it in my throwing weapon slot just for the bonuses. Make sure you
practice your 1H slashing and piercing as well, the combo of the two works
great once you get Dual Weild. Once you hit high teens start thinking about
getting a Polished Granite Tomahawk from Highpass. This was the route I
took, knowing this list I be there is an even better approach I never
thought of.
