Add Scythes as a way to "nerf" Khopesh

[Bacab]

Adding a 2 Handed Slashing x4 Critical weapon would be a way to indirectly "nerf Khopesh".

It would also give me something else to craft!

In Pen and Paper DnD Scythe is>>>

2d4 /x4

I guess a Greensteel Scythe would be>>>

2d6 /x4

[voodoogroves]

I would love this. Much. Lots.

[CrescentCalling_5]

I would LOVE to see this, but I'm a little hesitant here. Consider the possibilities for a second:

Lvl 20, STR, Raging Barb, with Improved Critical: Slashing Weapons, and a Greensteel Scythe...

people would be asking for a way to nerf scythe's next xD

The only melee I could ever see someone wanting to nerf would be something like ToD but they're already doing that.

If your team mates in PvE do more damage than you that's a good thing. They're killing stuff.

In PvE it won't matter unless they're hitting you for like 100 per swing against 100% fort then it's all good.

(like could you imagine getting tripped and hit just 5 more times and being dead before your first balance check?)

[TheDearLeader]

I support this thread.

We've seen NPCs use Scythes, I would love PCs to use them. I'd hope for some cool new animations, and I bet (if they made them) Green Steel Scythes would just look.. wicked.

I'd totally make a Pale Master with a Triple Neg GS Scythe, just for flavor.....

...and then a Kensai with a Lit II, and refuse to be in a party without a stunnermonk. >.>

[voodoogroves]

In living greyhawk and similar the scythe was the preferred weapon of clerics once they got hold person....coup de grace time!!!!!

[KKDragonLord]

We have long been waiting for the scythe to come to the game.

Ideally it should come along with Druids

in other words, dont hold your breath

I am Stormarcher and I approve this message.

yea pretty much this I guess -.-

I'd love to see it even with the problems, but since it's a Druid-particular weapon hope for the best expect the world to be destroyed in a cataclysm of code.

[Bacab]

a semi-bump...

I kinda want this thread to get to like 5 pages so maybe the devs take it "seriously".

Heck Scythe *could* be the new "Half-orc" weapon of choice? As in racial weapon?

It is generally a Martial weapon also...maybe make it exotic?

ALSO Palemaster shoudl get auto-proficiency

[Scraap]

/signed, although

ALSO Palemaster shoudl get auto-proficiency

See, problem there is, that would give my pseudo-lich an evilgasm. And that's just not something anyone wants to see

[svt]

Adding new weapons would be great. (I know it's difficult ) I think a character with a spear will be fun too.

[Angelus_dead]

As always:
The problem with adding a Scyth with 20/x4 is that it would be superior to Greatsword, Greataxe, and Falchion.

yes and no.

WF FVS would still use Greatsword.

I would *think* ESoS>Green Steel Scythe?

It may end up being like Khopesh vs every other 1 handed weapon...AKA either Khopesh or your wrong.

I do think a "Mass Hold" spamming Arcane would become more viable.

As in it would add more to the game rather than tank/spank or firewall only.

I do have to agree Scythe>Greataxe (if you have good STR/Power Attack/Bard songs).

Iono, I would just like some new weapons.

I would love a GreenSteel Spear Option.

I would also like Spiked Chain (Greensteel too!)

A_D...you know you'd make a Trip/Improved Trip specced Fighter if they had Spiked Chain >.>

[Mast3rR0b]

How about the attack speed? It could be slower compared to other weapons.

This may balance things up.



And yeah i'm hoping in a Scythe since i saw those NPCs in Cerulean hills looooong time ago ^^

[Nospheratus]

Yes please!

[Narmolanya]

When I started playing I was suprised to not see any scythes in the game. Then they added the NPCs in the hills and I got hopes up that one day we would see them. Would be a great addition to the game.

Scythe is piercing or slashing in PnP and since we dont have a two handed piercing weapon it should be typed Piercing to give us that option at long last.

As always:
The problem with adding a Scyth with 20/x4 is that it would be superior to Greatsword, Greataxe, and Falchion.

As a balancing act its Greensteel damage could be 1d10 instead of 2d6.
That would make a really big difference.

But i dont think it even should.
Its damage wouldn't be superior to a falchion, a Falchion crits 6 times in a range of 20
a Scythe would crit 2 times and add an extra X3 damage in a range of 20. They have the same amount of added damage on crits.

The only class that should have increased damage with scythes should be Druid, Half-orcs shouldn't get it (as they shouldnt get that bonus with 2handers at all).

[Natashaelle]

The scythe is a farming implement, and the X4 crit is obviously just a joke on the part of the D&D writers.

Besides, it's a pole arm -- and if we're getting one of those, I want first one to be Spear.

So, NOT signed.

[shagath]

I'd love to see scythe added too.

Rahl's Might and Dreamspitter at least have a spear look.

Anyone has tried this?
