Notes

• This Sickle has 2d4 damage dice, compared to the 1d4 of a normal Sickle.
• Because of the second d4 damage die, the Simple weapons type, and being able to get it fairly early in Act 1, it makes a decent weapon for Monk comparable to the various unarmed attack gloves that become available in Act 2.
  • Note: Using this as a Monk Weapon will NOT increase the damage die. It will remain at 2D4.
