Probably moving the whole chat forward is more prudent. I think we have moved past the scythe argument.

That's fair enough, everyone should be nice to each other about scythes... because you reap what you sow.

Ok I'll stop. I don't think I can harvest any more puns from Scythes.

Just gonna leave this here even though I'm kinda beating a dead horse that's already been beaten ('-' )

Not gonna bother replying because pretty sure it'll be back to square one.Â

All I can say if they have a scythe class. Im playing it, animoo or whatever you want to call it or not.

If you don't like it. I wish you well in whatever class you do play.

We know, we were there. Machinist is what we've got instead, re-using assets that were probably for the aforementioned "gunner".

Anyway, more bits in order to keep things chugging on topic: I would like another layer for some kind of weather-prep garment. A cloak, a shawl. A /hood/.

Let's just go with hoods. Why is a hood/mantle not a thing I can make and equip?

This...

With this mouth cover....

Dyeable with a /visor option as seen in the trailer, wearing thw same cloak but with thw hood down as he thinks about the bad shit happening and punches a pillar.

Right? Why are we not allowed this? This is simple, and reasonable. It is cold and wet up there, give me something to help my face.

The contention was never that you wouldn't/couldn't play it.

I don't care what you like. I have no sway over what you like. It's not really in line with the setting, and it doesn't have any practical value. Your original assertion was that it did, on both counts. You're wrong about that.

You can't be wrong about liking things, though. So, that's cool.

Edit: Also, if you weren't going to reply, you shouldn't have replied.

Scythes are a major tradition in many works of fantasy, and as was posted earlier, were often improvised weapons.

I think Scythes would be pretty cool. As for a weapon I want to see, nets would be fun.

Second post of page 5, War Scythes were more or less like polearms (IE Halberds and poleaxes) than the traditional wheat cutter.

While I admit Scythes are not only awesome due to how they look (and the physical mechanics in using one), but as a weapon, you're better off using a Fauchard or a spear.

However, despite being impractical, they are pretty cool.

In a world in which 3.5 foot popoto people can beat down huge dragons with their bare hands, I can make a concession for scythes.

There are others who take issue with the former, but those people don't need to play with me. XD

I wouldn't be surprised if the machinist had some sort of wacky net gun as a Heavy ability. Some sort of negative status effect will be in order.

More blunt or blunt-but-not-quite weapons would be nice: maces, flanged or otherwise, flails, mauls, etc.

Yes! I want a Japanese war club, for knocking Lalafells out of the park.

THMs get "cudgels" but they're used for SHOOTING MAGIC Sad

But you could also use them as a melee weapon. You won't be cranking out metric tons of damage but...

STR....Black Mage...

More like Buff Mage.

Actually the cudgels make sense for a rich UlDahn. It's an elegant and fancy looking weapon with the gemstones needed to use it as a casting focus.

Of course, real filthy rich Ul'Dahns hire someone else to get blood on them for them.

oh yeah it certainly makes sense, im just disappointed that the only cudgels/one-handed blunt weapons in the game are casting focii rather than implements of cerebral hemorrhage

all i want to do is bash heads in!
