[QUOTE="CaBaNa, post: 4876727, member: 82643"] Cheers, Kamotz will be leveling in the "near" future, that is, if he survives. :devil: When he does he'll be using the second level feat to pick up a better weapon. I'm proposing the Great Scythe. Cost: 30gp Damage: 1d12 Proficient: +3 Range: - Weight: 12 lbs This HUGE Scythe is preferred by Clerics and Paladins of Lauto. Property: Defensive (A defensive weapon grants you a +1 bonus to AC.) Group: Heavy Blade -------- My reasoning behind this weapon mechanically? It costs the same as other "superior" weapons. The damage is the same as a Full Blade/Great Axe The proficiency bonus is modeled after the other Heavy Blade in this category. (I'd be willing to change the prof to a +2 if the damage was changed to 2d6 or given the brutal 1 quality. This is because the original scythe is a +2 and uses 2d4) Range is obvious... Weight is the same as an Urgrosh There is no weapon more appropriate to give the defensive quality. It doesn't get off-hand like double weapons though. The whole reason behind not going High Crit, Brutal 1, is because the executioners axe is already toting that... My goal was to make more selection in weapons. Group is obvious... I think it is balanced very well with the other weapons of it's caliber. And different enough to justify it being used. Granted if this doesn't pass, expect another proposal: let Kamotz use an Urgrosh and call it a Great Scythe... [/QUOTE]
