Warscythe

The Warscythe is an example of the plowshares-to-swords mindset of the Nova people as they found their lands invaded by the Mariton Empire; it was a simple change to make the weapon significantly more effective. The blacksmiths who were used to creating scythes for farming simply turned the blade eighty degrees, to create a more sleek profile, and made the haft more efficient, creating an incredibly deadly polearm. The slight angle of the blade allows for a very efficient tripping weapon.

A Warscythe may be weilded as a weapon with the stats of a ranseur by any creature with martial weapon proficiency (though it may also deal slashing damage). A Warscythe, however, is an exotic weapon, and requires training to bring the blade to bear at its best.
