I realized the part with the LA buyoff, I was just asking because I myself had been considering a couple of those races in the future should something happen to a character of mine and they were killed in such a way as they couldn't be revived.
Additionally, because I've always liked the idea of a lycanthrope, but from what I understand the LA scores actually hurt a character more than the benefit they provide, leading one to be less effective in the long run.
And thanks about the scythe, I was curious about them as the scythe was always a fun looking weapon mechanically. Especially if you can push a high critical chance.
