New Edge: Agility of Arms

Propsing a new edge primarily geared at mages and non-giant melees.

Agility of Arms would allow you to wield any two handed-weapon in your MAIN hand as a single handed weapon, sacrificing weapon block in the process as you are using it only with one hand. 

It would allow mages/clerics/shamans/bmgs/etc to wield a two handed-mace/flail/staff in one hand with a shield, giving them improved defense and better weapon selection.

For non-giant melees, it would let them put a two hander in their main hand, and offhand a single weapon. This would give them a defensive advantage over giant melees as they could wield a staff, and dual wield a spear, or use one of the many great two handed weapons in the mud with a shield/dual wield.

I don't like this. You used to be able to do this as normal size if you got enlarged, and I don't know. I just feel this is one of those things that are meant to be a boon exclusive to the large races.

Yeah, but I could say the same thing about locate object being a boon to casters/communers to locate their enemies via clever tactics, or preventing disarm, or healing faster, or projectile projection being limited, etc. 

The edges largely do just that across the board-- take boons once limited to one group and make them widely available to people who put the time in to RP...but they don't tend to benefit mages, so I was brainstorming similar conceps to the other edges but that might benefit mages.
