AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAUGH!
Sorry, I just needed to get that out there. This post is pretty much just a rant, not a rules conundrum.
Who honestly thought that those stats represent a "heavy" version of the normal d-scythe?
Same Strength and AP, ok, I can get behind that. It works for plasma weapons, after all. But a small blast? When the non-heavy version is a template? Not only does it lose the Ignores Cover that is the d-scythe's greatest strength, it's less accurate and even when it does hit bang-on it's probably going to cover fewer models.

I can just about maybe understand the Hemlock having a pair of short-ranged, weak Distort weapons and nothing else, in a "sure why not" kind of way, but why in Vaul's name are they called "heavy d-scythes"?
