I know. You're gonna say "a scythe isn't realistic, it's completely impractical as a melee weapon." But, really, didn't realism go out the window the second the guy who turns into a bear joined up?

C'mon, give me a swing. You won't regret it.

Go on, just pick it up and take a swing, what's the worse that can happen?

>>48661520
You turning into wheat?

>>48661493
I get that. I really do, I was thinking of going for say, a giant hammer, a zweihander maybe.
But you know, I might be able to make you work. If you weren't covered in spines. And on the bit I want to hold. It's just not evoking the concept of an effortlessly clean cut to reap my foes as though they were corn, y'know?

Indeed, maybe it is.

Might as well touch the handle and see. No point living the rest of your life thinking "maybe I should have touched that scythe that turns people into wheat rather than just swinging a sword the rest of my long and somewhat interesting life". Never live life with regrets, that's my motto. That and; "pick up the scythe."

I imagine if the blade can shift positions (i.e. point up like the typical war scyth or fold down and essentially become a halbred) you'd have a pretty versital weapon.

With that, you can switch up your techinques and save the classic "reaping" form for when you hook around the opponent and draw back to slice their head off or cause the blade to fold into it's halbred from and scissor the offending limb

You know, the classic scythe we see in media isn't a real scythe? Real scythes have blades roughly perpendicular to the shaft, not parallel.

Yeah, sure, I'll try a scythe. How much, man? My horse and my apprentice carry most of my crap anyway.

Imagine if your magic scythe blade was made of countless tiny blades, and by turning a knob you could reconfigure it into the shape of a halberd or a trident or pretty much any hafted weapon, but it would always look as jagged and awkward as OP's scythe.

He actually mains archery with a finesse weapon for close-quarters, the family is dex-martials to the core.

x4 crit range is near-meaningless to a PC; they roll a huge amount of damage, half of which would have killed, but fuck anyone who gives mooks scythes. I'd rather surrender than risk some stupid chance of instant death against a militia of level 1 barbarians armed with scythes. Any other weapon crits on you, even one with higher average damage, you still have time to back off, fight more defensively, heal up, drink a potion of get out of dodge, etc. Not scythes.

>>48664946
Glad you do, it's part of my attempt at making him "humorously prideful". Other examples include catching a young dragon by pretending to pass out, followed by wrestling it down and having it swear fealty to the family line there's only five family members that I've come up with, and I don't make use of it anyway, using a bow with his feet on a dare to workable accuracy, claiming his surname "Siannai" is the root for "cyanide" it isn't, and tossing his walking stick aside if anyone insults him for being "crippled" which he isn't, I intend for him to flex a nice Intimidate score after he does so. The walking stick is actually for the dual-wielding father, who carries a staff of his own, being druidic-nature-guy.
