''All the following are class features of the Acoylte of the Scythe''
'''Shaft Fighting ({{Ex)}}:''' At 1st level, the Acolyte of the Scythe is capable of using the shaft of his Scythe as an offensive weapon, gaining an offhand attack as though wielding two light weapons, but the penalty is reduced by 1 (For -1/-1 on attack rolls). The shaft of the scythe is a bludgeoning weapon that deals 1d4 damage with a x2 critical and it cannot be magical. It has no additional weight. If the shaft has a [[Weighted Shaft (3.5e Equipment)|Weighted Shaft]], then it uses the properties for a [[Weighted Shaft (3.5e Equipment)|Weighted Shaft]] and can be magical. This only applies when wielding the scythe in two hands. At 5th level, the penalty is reduced by an additional 1 point, for no penalty.
'''Shaft Defense ({{Ex)}}:''' While wileding a scythe, the Acolyte of the Scythe is capable of blocking incoming attacks with the shaft. He gains a +1 shield bonus to Armour Class while wielding a Scythe. This increases to +2 at 3rd level and +3 and 5th level.
'''Weighted Shaft:''' An Acolyte of the Scythe is so trained in the use of a scythe, he is able to wield the scythe with finesse even with a weighted shaft. While fighting with a [[Weighted Shaft (3.5e Equipment)|Weighted Shaft]] in his scythe, the Acolyte of the Scythe forgoes the -2 penalty associated with it.
'''Scythe Aptitude: ''' An Acolyte of the Scythe may stack his levels with any fighter levels to determine his fighter level for fighter feats (such as Weapon Specialization). This only affects feats used for a scythe.
'''Scythe Trick ({{Ex)}}: ''' At 2nd and 4th level, the Acolyte of the Scythe is capable of performing extraordinary feats of expertise while wielding a Scythe.
* <i>Palm Balance Reach:</i> The Acolyte of the Scythe is capable of doubling their normal reach with the Scythe for one attack per round by thrusting it out and keeping the shaft held in an open palm for a short amount of time, before grabbing it and pulling it back sharply. For one attack per round, the range of the Acolyte is doubled (5 feet to 10 feet, 10 feet to 20 feet) and the Acolyte takes a -2 on the attack roll. This only works when wielding a scythe designed for the Acolyte's size catergory. While using this trick, the Acolyte is not capable of using the shaft as an offhand weapon for the round it is used on.
