A farm implement, usually only used by untrained mobs in combat.
"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. In spite of how deadly he is with it, it's actually the worst weapon in the game. Their damage output is only slightly better than a bardiche's, and their attack speed is one of the slowest in the game. In general, you shouldn't use these unless you come across an awesome randart scythe and already have sufficient Polerams skill to use it effectively.
Scythes are too large for small creatures (kobolds, halflings, and spriggans) to use.
