Two-handed weapons parry better than one-handed, all else being equal. (Type, weight, etc.)

True or false?

General case, no.

I can think of some cases in which a two handed weapon actually wielded in two hands can perform better. For example, two hand paladin. For another example, all three 'true' two handed weapon types (staff/spear/polearm) are generally pretty good for parrying vs. most other weapon types.

Was more curious about weapon types that can be two *or* one-handed. Sword, mace, etc. So, giant wielding two-handed mace vs. giant wielding oen-handed mace, assuming maces have equal weight (if that even matters).

See above. In the general case I don't think it matters.
