A farm implement, usually only used by untrained mobs in combat. In practice, it's quite similar to a halberd.
"It was instinct. Illogical as lightning striking and not hurting. Each day the grain must be cut. It had to be cut. Why? Well, it just did, that was all. He laughed at the scythe in his big hands. Then, whistling, he took it out to the ripe and waiting field and did the work. He thought himself a little mad. Hell, it was an ordinary-enough wheat field, really, wasn't it?"
-Ray Bradbury, _The Scythe_, 1943.

This weapon falls into the Polearms category. It is a two handed weapon.
Scythes are best known as the trademark weapon of Sigmund. They are identical to a halberd, and are thus too large for small creatures (Kobolds, Spriggans) to use. Scythes, outside of the 2 unrand scythes, do not generate naturally - they can only be found on Sigmund, reapers, or in few vaults.
Note that the unrand scythes Finisher and Scythe of Curses have their own, separate stats. See the history section for more details.

History
- Prior to 0.29, scythes were their own base type, with their stats shown on the right. The two unrand scythes retain the old damage and delay values.
