'''Scythes''' are a form of polearm best known as the the trademark weapon of [[Sigmund]]. In spite of how deadly he is with his, they're actually the worst weapon in the game. Their damage output is only slightly better than a [[halberd]]'s, and their attack speed is one of the slowest in the game. In general, you shouldn't use a scythe unless you come across an awesome [[artefact]] and already have sufficient Polearms skill to use it effectively.

Min delay 7 at skill 16
Hands 2H
Size Large
Ranged? No
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 a form of polearm best known as the the trademark weapon of Sigmund. They have the same stats as a halberd, and are too large for small creates (kobolds, spriggans) to use.

Note that the unrand scythes Finisher and scythe of curses have their own unique stats. See the history section for their stats.
