War Scythe

Weapon

Varies

Polearm, Two-Handed, Heavy, Puncture, Reach

Whether mounted horizontally like a traditional farming implement, or mounted vertically like a glaive, a war scythe has its roots in a peasant militia looking to arm itself in times of war. A scythe in the right hands can be useful in combat, though it takes a practiced master to be truly effective. The master uses the scythe's reaping motion to deal horrible slashing wounds to the foes they trip in combat.

Type Damage Damage Range
Simple Melee 2d6 Slashing
