Scythe (Weapon)

A scythe is a Melee Two-Handed Weapon that has a long reach and which requires a unique sweeping moveset for efficient usage.

==Description==
===Appearance===
A war scythe or military scythe is a form of pole weapon with a curving single-edged blade with the cutting edge on the concave side of the blade. It bears a resemblance to that of an agricultural scythe from which it has evolved, but the war scythe is otherwise unrelated to agricultural tools and is a purpose-built infantry melee weapon. Some scythes are adorned by additional spikes or blades along its spine or on the opposite side of the handle.
As a pole weapon, the war scythe is characterised by its long range and powerful force. They could be used to make slashing or stabbing attacks, and with their uncommon appearance and considerable strength could have a psychological impact on an unprepared enemy. However, like most pole weapons, their disadvantages were weight (which could quickly exhaust the user) and slow speed.
==Properties==
Heavy
Creatures that are Small or Tiny have disadvantage on attack rolls with heavy weapons. A heavy weapon's size and bulk make it too large for a Small or Tiny creature to use effectively.
Reach
This weapon adds 5 feet to your reach when you attack with it. This property also determines your reach for opportunity attacks with a reach weapon.
Two-Handed
This weapon requires two hands to use. This property is relevant only when you attack with the weapon, not when you simply hold it.
