Sow and Reap: Scythes for Caves of Qud

Sow and Reap adds a new weapon type to Caves of Qud: the Scythe — a humble farming implement, now wielded as a weapon of war.

⚡ Brand-new item art by @OnlyFangs!
⚡ Support for more weapon mods (including Sharp and Serrated)
⚡ Three new unique weapons found as rare drops

🌿 18 new weapons: 9 scythes (two-handed) and 9 sickles (one-handed).
🌿 3 unique weapons, including the Holy Sickle and the Splitting Scythe
🌿 New Scythe skill tree
🌿 New "Ready For Harvest" status effect
🌿 New mutant calling, Harvester

🌿 Critical effect: Knocks target prone
🌿 Damage progression is similar to Long Blades
🌿 Full tier progression available (bronze - zetachrome)
🌿 Scythes and sickles can appear as relics
🌿 Unlike other weapon types, the two-handed version of the weapon is more likely to spawn than the one-handed version

Explore a fully-featured skill tree to master the scythe's fickle crescent blade. Apply the Ready For Harvest status effect with your basic scythe attacks, then exploit it to power up your active abilities.

🌱 Scythe Expertise: +2 to hit with scythes and a 15% chance to apply Ready For Harvest on hit.
🌿 Sow: Gain an extra +2 to hit plants and fungi, increase your chance to apply Ready For Harvest to 30%, and (Harvestry required) gain an extra crop when harvesting rare plants.

🪓 Cut Down: Attack and dismember your target's legs (inflicting bleed) on a penetrating hit. Consumes Ready For Harvest to cut off another mobility limb and inflict even more bleeding.
⚡Vaulting Strike: Leap past an opponent and land in the space behind them, attacking them on the way. Consumes Ready For Harvest to bamboozle them, knocking them prone and inflicting confusion.
🌙 Harvest Moon: Make a sweeping attack against 3 adjacent spaces at once. Consumes Ready For Harvest to deal double damage.
🌀 Swhirlwind: Swipe your scythe through the air, gathering up adjacent gasses and dumping them all on your target's space. Inflicts Ready For Harvest if they don't already have it.

• Spawn any scythe with "SowReap_Scythe" + the tier number (e.g., SowReap_Scythe2 for steel) or leave the number off for bronze (tier 0).
  
• Spawn any sickle with "SowReap_Sickle" + the tier number
