Scythe

Not normally considered a tool of war, the scythe is a common farm implement, often used for harvesting crops like wheat. Thus they are often found on farms, like in Paws. However, when pressed into service as a weapon, it can be extremely effective, although its use requires the two hands.

A normal scythe has a damage rating of "7" in Ultima VII

In Ultima IX, scythes were once again employed as powerful weapons.
