Why does the Death use a scythe?
It isn't a very efficient weapon.
>>
>>29530068
Because he reaps souls, like wheat. You know, the thing you use a scythe for.
>>
>>29530076

That was a short thread.

>>29530068
Death is rarely about efficiency. Sometimes he takes 80-100 years to get a harvest.

>>29530068
grim reaper....

I'm sure it's better than a sword though, that range is incredible.

Isn't it past your bedtime?
>>
>>29530068
Because it's symbolical.
>>
>>29530068
Because he likes to keep it next to where his heart used to be.

>80-100 years

Some folks call it a sling blade

Because while it only rolls a crit on a natural 20 and has the lowest damage of all the two handed weapons, the x4 critical is insane. He probably has keen enchantment on there and took improved critical as a feat to augment his DPS.

I'm sorry, I can't hear you over the sound of my juicy hamburger.

Butt hurt haji detected

>>29530320
I liked where you were going, but you fell apart at DPS.
>>
OP, Death isn't fighting any battle. He has no need to be combat efficient; he just reaps your soul when you die.
>>
>>29530560
Fuck. DPR. I was really thinking of neverwinter nights 2 because my sister is playing a scythe-wielding fighter-wizard-eldritchknight-palemaster build.
>>
>>29530076
First answer best answer
>>
>>29530277
Goddamnit, they're giving refugees free internet too?
>>
Because the Romans had already called dibs on the nailgun
>>
>>29530320
Improved critical doesn't stack with the keen enchantment dumbass.
Although you CAN stack it with the Stalkers expanded critical class feature. Assuming he is pathfinder instead of 3.5

This figures comes from the celtic "Ankou" from french britanny. He is related to the celtic god sucellos, the irish ones Ollathair, or Dagda, who are forces of life and death, giving or taking lives with their weapons, mallet or mace. The Ankou is a pan-brittanic figure for this function. Caleled Anghau in british whales or Ankow in english Cornwalls.
Later, his function was reduced to death only.

He is not death himself but one of its servants. His role is to gather the souls of those recently dead in his cart.

His scythe, however, is of a particular kind : the edge isn't in the interior but on the exterior of the blade. He doesn't brings the scythe back to him like a grain reaper would, but throws it in front of him.

This figure survived christianisation and kept being a part of local mythology for centuries while being accepted by the local christians. He can be found on some churches in french Britanny for example.

It is said every last person to die each year, in a specific catholic parish, becomes the Ankou for that year in that specific parish. So there are lots of potential Ankou. In fact, everyone could become the Ankou.

The Ankou is a tall, very thin old man with long white hairs and a curved back. He has no eyes, only two dark orbits.

Pic related is an Ankou on a catholic chuch in french Britanny.

Seriously? I didn't know that. I guess I'm just out of date.

Sometimes when I'm filling my ford f150 up, I'll take in a deep breath, just to smell the sweet odor of pain and suffering that is just barely detectable yet still there. Then I will drive away, weirdly satisfied that my american truck is running on the blood and tears of a thousand dead hajis.
