Description
The scythe is a farming implement used for the harvesting of crops, but its wicked, curved blade and sharp point make it useful on the battlefield.
A scythe mold requires 2 metal ingot. For the properties of exotic metals, see the Materials page.

Notes
The scythe is notable for having the highest critical multiplier of all base weapons. This makes it a popular choice for high damage builds along with the Weapon Master feats Ki Critical and Increased Multiplier, which mean that the total damage on a critical hit will be:
(2d4+ (Strength Modifier x 1.5) + Weapon Specializations + Enhancement Bonus + Power Attacks) x5
