How would a scythe weapon act all that different from a longsword, though? Don't get me wrong, I'm all for a scythe weaponclass, but it doesn't seem feasable

I take that back. I suppose if the scythes were held in the manner the tool is intended to be held, they would function somewhat like hammers, range-wise, with the main difference obviously being that they do slicing damage as opposed to impact. I guess there's something to work with there afterall.
