SCYTHE, BATTLE:
This is an adaptation of the agricultural
scythe and falls somewhere between the
one-handed sickle
and the huge “Father Time” model. The battle
scythe is specially
built and reinforced for use in battle,
and can be used either
one-handed or two-handed like a battleaxe.
If used with both
hands, the scythe is +1 “to hit” and has
a speed factor of 7. If
used with one hand, there are no such adjustments.
A favorite
weapon of druids
and evil types, the scythe is much in use by
certain demons, and with its great damaging
power can prove
devastating in combat — although, just
as with all other weapons,
the DM should be sure it is used in an
area of sufficient
space.
