Weapon Proficiency: Scythes

[Strato]

Scythes

While originally thought as a farm tool, in the hands of a skilled user it isn't hard to see why the Grim Reaper's choice weapon is a scythe -- it is a weapon capable of inflicting pain on a multitude of scales and ranges. A trained scythe user is only hampered in combat by a shortage of bodies to strike or limited room to swing, because with one fluid motion of the arm, a whole group of enemies can be slain.
