What I am asking, is, if you are trying to fix random inconsistancies, why promote warscythes? As far as I can tell it means scythes repurposed for war. First, orcs don't use scythes, they have nurn slaves do whatever they want for them. Second, even if they did have scythes, and didn't have any more real weapons, ripping a limb off a tree is still more effective. I'll find a link soon, but a scythe is made to scythe grass, not people. The blade is too thin, and the haft is shaped wrong, you can't make much beyond an intimidation tool from it.

there, link.

Now, please explain to me what you think a warscythe is, and why it is promoted here rather than discouraged. While you are correct scythes are agricultural tools not weapons, a warscythe is different as it is simply another term for glaive. And scythes were in fact used in middle ages do to the fact that they (along with sicles) were the sharpest farming implement and since peasants called to arms could not afford fancy weapons they had to settle for farming implements

Am am aware of Pesants actually using them as weapons, but several of my friends legitamately argued they were superior to Swords/Spears/etc.
