Description
New War Scythes. They use glaives proficiency and have versatile and reach but can't be dual wielded. There's all rarity tiers, from common to legendary. (Common scythe is just a normal one that have reduced damage but it's a simple weapon and use spear proficiency).
-Reaper: Standard scythe attacks have a 2m radius. To not make it too op, it can't target ground (but it can still target items and similar) and only the main target take full damage, others targets in the area takes half damage. Be aware that allies can be target too.
-Cleave has a increased area (And additional rules on the legendary scythe) to acount for the extra reach and basic reaper attack.

-Scythe (Common): Chest in the hay pile on the grove.
-War Scythe (Uncommon): Skeleton on the spider's pit on the goblin camp.
-Pact of the Bones (Rare): Looted from Thrinn on the Grymforge.
-Nar’Talas (Very Rare): Found in a locked heavy chest in the storage room south of the zombie crypt on the House of Healing Morgue. Same one with the Bided Time.
