If Luna was a furry, she'd sex humans and scream "BEASTIALITY!" at the top of her lungs at inopportune times.

My dice have the elder sign as the high number and they're the first set that generally rolls well for me. Though I believe they are slowly making the DM go mad... It's not my fault that he gave me a d12 scythe.

Oh, you have one of those non-book DMs.



Poor Luna. :(

Luna?

I mean Rat. >_<

No, what should happen to a DM that bans non-shaved dice is a tragic thing.

Fucking wussies.  Let the dice fall how they may, and fucking DEAL WITH IT.

That's the problem with DMs, these days.  They cry too fucking much.  In MY day, you took your ownage and LEARNED FROM IT.  It's what's made me the horrible fucking table Nazi that I am today.

My thought was that it was a sign of a DM who was too invested in "winning." 

Everybody else at the table thought it was awesome, he just got his panties in a bunch over it.

Nope in 3.5 a scythe is d12 and can also be used as a d6/d6 staff. As my character is an undead hunter (Skullclan Hunter PRC) and a cleric to the god 'Themet' (the God of Peace/Death in the world we're playing in), I use my Gods favored weapon which is also my holy symbol. Its also good for bludgeoning or slashing depending on the undead I'm dealing with.

Oh.  In Pathfinder, it's a 2d4 martial weapon that crits x4 on a 20.

And what is this bullshit about being able to use it as a staff?  It's got a great whacking iron blade on one end.

I'm working a homebrew campaign world (same world as Pathfinder, but off the East end of the map a bit).  I had forgotten how much fun building an entire setting is, and I think the players will like it, too.

Hrm.  Flip it around (blade backward), and you've got a staff with a bigass chunk of steel tied to it for extra oomph.  It'd be slower, but more mass...  In theory, I suppose, it might work.
