Bugs

• This special variant of the sickle, dealing 2d4 damage rather than the regular 1d4, is not dropped as loot when a redcap is killed, since it's not meant to be available to players. However, it can be obtained by using Command: Drop or a disarming attack of some kind. Having extra damage, being a simple weapon, and being obtainable early in Act 1, makes this a decent early weapon for monks.
