Scythe Wielder - Feats

If the weapon is adamantine then it will still bypass most DR.

Creatures with Adamantine DR are usually nonliving (like golems), and immune to crits.

With the new 3.5 rules on threat ranges, your best threat range is 13-20 (a Weapon Master of the Rapier with Improved Crit). A Weapon Master of the Scythe with Improved Crit has a crit of 17-20/x4. Seems like Scythes became more viable in 3.5.

I had heard that there was to be a hierarchy of materials with Adamantine at the top.

Nope. No more hierarchies. It was felt that all anyone ever did was get whatever was at the top of the hierarchy and then proceed to ignore damage resistance. There is now a menu of materials, with some materials affecting some creatures and not others. You will now need a variety of weapons to affect a variety of creatures.

Silver vs. Lycantheropes, some undead, & some outsiders
Iron vs. Fey
Adamantine vs. Constructs
Lawful weapons vs. Slaad, Chaos Beasts, etc
Magic vs. some undead, some outsiders
and so on..

Your +5 Flaming Adamantine holy avenger will not bypass the DR of a werewolf, cause you need siver.
