Heavy Crossbow (damage: 8-20, required dexterity: 40, required strength: 40)

Fire Maul (damage: 12-102, required strength: 50, max damage: +120%, min damage: +120%, +7 to hit)

Scythes: These cruel, curved blades are deadly to any who weild them. Look for the Scythe to become the weapon of choice for the Necromancer.

Girdle (AC: 1, required strength: 30)
