    Ok, people, just to clear things up: Scythes make absolutely terrible weapons. It takes a lot of suspension of disbelief, when you consider how the cutting edge is perpendicular to the handle. There's a reason they never caught on as actual weapons. It's because all of the physics involved says you get shit for power out of a design like that.

    Think about swinging a scythe, and ask yourself, how are you actually meant to be doing any damage with that.

    Magic, cause this is a fantasy game where we can outlive real life constraints?

    Except it's a fantasy world and nobody cares how things work in real life. The Sea of Clouds is cool and that's all that matters, in real life gravity would spoil the fun.
