Weapons of the Poor

Farmers who early on needed to defend themselves from incoming raiders found use in this general implement in order to have some reach in combat. Not practical for sustained conflict it was discarded as a whole from warfare. The idea of turning the blade in a glaive like fashion, however, gave way to the War Scythe.

In fantasy, as we know it today, there are Scythes that have here been dubbed 'reapers' (see bottom left) and are fantastic and impractical. Still, they have a huge place in modern fantasy media and so stats have been provided for them as well.
