REAPER(THE DK WE ALL WANTED)

[ChazNatlo]

And don't give people that Botanist Scythe idiocy. It's small, handheld and is commonly associated as a sickle. Which is what it is. Most Scythe's in RPG's and in DnD were always 2 handed weapons. Stronger then one handed weapons but never hitting as hard as a Great Sword or Great Axe.

The botanist tool is a two handed Scythe used as it is supposed to be, with the two perpendicular handles. Using it like that gives more leverage and allows you to pull it in towards ones self, which is handy, considering the blade is pointed in towards the user.

Interestingly, a one hand sickle has had more success as a weapon than a scythe historically. Not quite relevant, since you're talking about it as a fantasy weapon commonly associated with the grim reaper ((Who classically uses it in it's traditional sense, as a tool for reaping. But again neither here not there.))

Necromancer wont exist, raising dead bodys or summoning voidsents is forbidden in Eorzea...

Scythe as weapon why not...

Forbidden only because of the War of the Magi, really. There's no reason you couldn't find a Mhachi grimoire with all sorts of void magic in it to kickstart a "necromancer" type class, other than the lore reasoning that the player would have to hide what they're capable of in every battle with NPCs.

It won't exist because Summoner is essentially one. Most necromancy across the board has always been undead minions and DoT abilities. Hence the egi and lo and behold DoT abilities. And True necromancy being "forbidden" doesn't mean jack. If it did the WoL would be locked up for parading around with Frey's corpse. Ishgardians simply let it go. The WoL by default would get a free pass.

WoL doesn't, actually. The only reason you get out of that situation is because the Ishgardian custom is to drop the charges against you if you can defeat your accuser in combat, which is what you do. The rest of Eorzea wouldn't be so forgiving if you were wandering around casting void magic on everything.

I might be wrong in this, but I had assumed that 'Frey', as in the Frey you quest with, is actually a construct of your mind that is all the "Eff you and your stupid fetch quests" aspects that you don't get to show, ala Fight Club.

Which, you know, going from that angle, I really enjoyed. The issue at the end is that 'Frey' was made manifest as you tapped more into your dark side until it finally was not just a construct of the mind but of body as well.

Nah pretty sure it was animated then dropped dead at the lvl 50 quest. But you can believe whatever headcanon you want.
