I don't know why I keep posting to this one, as I don't foresee anyone in my
groups ever using one...but! ::laughs:: I just did remember, yet ANOTHER
variation on the scythe weapon. Bear with me. When I was little, I LOVED
ninjas. I would draw them, do all I could to study them... You name it.
Anyway, one of the things I got was this toy ninja set that had a few
shurikens, a couple other things, AND... A shortened scythe with a blade
that could be folded down. With the blade folded the scythe would be about
the same size as, say, as stun baton, and could probably even be used as a
club if circumstances called for it. Now I know this isn't what the
character originally wanted, because it definitely isn't Grim Reaperish...
But I think this topic went off quite a few posts ago as far as that's
concerned.

Also, I remember another instance of the chained scythe weapon. The one with
only one blade and a weighted handle was used in Ninja Gaiden for the old
Nintendo system. It was the weapon of...::thinking:: the second boss? If not
second then third...it's been a while.


(even further OT) Anybody know of any plans to make another Shadowrun video
game? I think if N64 got ahold of it and did it in the style of Perfect Dark
it could have the potential to be quite a kickass game!!!
