A '''scythe''' is a type of two-handed [[weapon]] that appears in ''[[dNetHack]]'', ''[[SpliceHack]]'' and ''[[Hack'EM]]''.

==Generation==

Scythes do not generate randomly.

In SpliceHack and Hack'EM, [[redcap]]s and [[Death]] always get a scythe. In these variants, [[The End]] is also the only [[artifact weapon|artifact]] scythe.

In Hack'EM, [[peasant]]s have 20% chance to generate with a scythe.

==Strategy==

In SpliceHack or Hack'EM, the scythe can be used in melee and applied like a polearm with equal effectiveness. Arguably the most useful non-artifact weapon in those variants.

==History==

The scythe first appears in [[dNetHack]].

==Variants==
=== Hack'EM ===
In Hack'EM, the flaming lash always has the material of [[dragonhide]].

Flaming lashes always do fire damage when attacking, similar to a wielded [[torch]].

Balrogs have an 80% chance of generating with one.

=== dNetHack ===

Vs plants, scythes get +6 to hit and double damage.
